564 Optical Tooling Scales

Optical tooling scales provide you with tremendous targeting flexibility. These easy-to-read, white-face scales allow precise dimensional measurements accurate to 0.001 of an inch. The targeting system (described below) is uniquely designed to accommodate all instrument focal lengths from zero to approximately 75 feet. When coupled with the array of Brunson scale accessories, virtually any alignment point or surface can be referenced quickly and accurately.

Optical tooling scales are comprised of a series of paired-line targets, repeating at precise 0.100 of an inch intervals. The optical micrometer on an instrument then divides these intervals into 100 parts, producing a measurement resolution of 0.001 of an inch.

Four distinct sets of paired-line targets, each with its own spacing, are located every 0.100 of an inch on the scale. Target spacings of 0.005, 0.010, 0.025, and 0.050 of an inch provide accurate reading at various instrument focal lengths.

At close range (2 feet, 6 inches), the scale pattern more than fills the field of vision. The filar/bi-filar reticle pattern makes it possible to accurately position a single line between the 0.005 of an inch paired lines. At 10 feet, the 0.010 of an inch spaced lines are used; at 50 feet, the .050 of an inch spaced lines are used. As viewing distances increase, the progressively larger target spacings are used.

Scales are numbered for easy reading, regardless of focal length. The largest numberals indicate where each inch begins.

For extremely close shots, the smallest numberals designate the whole inch interval you are measuring in. Finally, each inch is divided into 10 equal segments; only the even increment are labeled.
