Profile Projector and 2D Processor Packages
Heavy-Duty, Bench-Top Model with Vertical Optical System featuring touch screen M2 geometric measuring display
Mitutoyo PJ-Plus is a new type of profile projector that uses LEDs and provides reliable measurement in production site environments.
PJ-Plus Summary
- LED illumination
- Stepless illumination adjustment
- Improved durability
- Intuitive operation
- Built-in digital XY counter
- Available with M2 or QM-Data 2D processor
LED Illumination
The PJ-Plus implements LED illumination, a brand-new feature and design on profile projectors, replacing traditional halogen lighting. The adoption of the LED illumination source eliminates the need for a cooling fan in the main unit, drastically decreasing the entry of oil, mist, dust, etc. into the measuring instrument. LED Illumination offers many benefits as well, including:
- Better durability & longer service life, greatly reducing lamp burnout
- Lower main unit power consumption, from 400W to 60W (about 85%)
- Drastically reduces oil adhesion to internal mirror, lens and light source
- Prevents rate of decline in illumination by about 50%
- Maintains high optical performance even in harsh environments
- Requires less frequent maintenance, resulting in lower maintenance costs
- Better color reproducibility, consistency for improved on-screen image
- Very little color change in illumination when intensity is adjusted
Stepless Illumination Adjustment
The PJ-Plus uses a much more efficient and effective stepless illumination control instead of the conventional 2-step illumination adjustment system. This allows for the level of lighting to be set precisely to suit the surface texture and color of the workpiece. These options include:
- Color temperature varies much less with LED illumination as compared to halogen illumination
- Projected image under LED illumination is sharper, easier to inspect
Built-in Digital XY Counter
The PJ-Plus features a built-in digital XY counter on the front of the machine. The digital counter displays XY axes and angle readings using high-intensity LEDs and a large character display for easy visibility unaffected by the environment. The operator can use the machine and view the readout directly on the projector as opposed to looking at an auxiliary DRO.
- Provides improved ergonomic benefits & faster readings
- Eliminates the need to use a DRO unit
- Data output of each counter value adopts the highly versatile RS-232C interface
- Resolution: 0.001mm/.0001”
- An XY axis digital counter is built into the PJ-Plus
