Spi 40-246-1 Optical Comparator Chart Reticle 10x

Product Description

The SPI 40-246-1 is an optical comparator chart and reticle designed for use with 10x magnification comparator systems. The reticle measures 1.375 inches in overall diameter and fits into the eyepiece or stage of a compatible optical comparator. It provides a reference grid or profile overlay that technicians and quality control inspectors use to measure, verify, or compare part geometry against a known standard. This type of reticle is a standard consumable and replacement component in precision measurement and inspection workflows.

This chart and reticle is suited for use in machine shops, manufacturing facilities, and quality inspection labs where optical comparators are used for dimensional verification of machined parts, tooling, and components. It is intended for systems that operate at 10x magnification. Machinists, QC technicians, and metrology professionals are the typical end users. It is a direct-fit accessory requiring no modification for compatible comparator setups.

Key Features

• Designed for 10x magnification optical comparators
• 1.375-inch overall diameter for standard eyepiece or stage fitment
• Provides a precise reference overlay for dimensional inspection and part comparison
• Single-unit packaging for straightforward replacement or spare stocking

Compatibility

Designed for use with optical comparator systems operating at 10x magnification that accept a 1.375-inch diameter reticle or chart insert.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by metrology or QC technicians during routine maintenance or reticle replacement. Power down or disengage the optical comparator illumination source before handling the reticle to avoid glare or heat exposure. Handle the reticle only by its edges to prevent contamination of the optical surface. Follow the comparator manufacturer guidelines for seating and securing the reticle within the eyepiece or stage mount.
