Measuring principle

Autocollimators are optical measuring instruments that can measure the smallest changes in the angular position of optical reflectors. In electronic autocollimators, the autocollimation image is detected by means of CCD lines or a matrix sensor.

Measuring range and measuring distance

The measuring range of any autocollimator decreases with increasing measuring distance. The measuring accuracy of autocollimators is independent of distance, negating environmental influences. With the autocollimators of the ELCOMAT® series, the measuring range remains constant up to a certain measuring distance and then decreases with increasing distance between the autocollimator and the mirror. The typical measuring range at different distances is listed in the technical specifications of the ELCOMAT®vario N product series.
