External Surface Illumination is slightly similar to the internal surface illumination. That it offers a fixed wattage 1200 watt bulb, and the light passes through the lens.  However the engineering is quite different in that the light is broadcasted on the exterior of the machine across the front. It then uses a diagonal reflector mounted on the front of the optical comparator lens to bounce the light of your part and back through the lens to display the image of your part on the optical comparator screen.

Please call and speak with a Vermont Precision Machine Services representative to confirm compatibility with your optical comparator.

 

Internal Surface Illumination offers a bright fixed wattage system. It has been the standard surface illumination system used for years on the J&L line. It mounts on the exterior of the machine but uses the internal optics and mirrors to shine the light through the front erector lens and bounce the light of your part back through the erector lens and displays the image on the optical comparator screen. With its 1200 watt bulb this surface illumination will give you a bright, clear, crisp display of your image on the optical comparator screen.

Please call and speak with a Vermont Precision Machine Services representative to confirm compatibility with your optical comparator.

 

Fiber Optic Surface Illumination offers a low upfront cost within a reliable packaged system. The fiber optic bundles allow you the flexibility to move or adjust the light to were you need it. It also has a rheostat so you can adjust the light level to fit you application "sometimes less is more". It also is a user friendly installation we feel quite confident that the end user can install and have it operational  within a day of receipt.
However the fiber optic system can not be used with all models of the J&L line.
