Inspect, measure and verify 2D and angular features on a wide range of components.

Nikon Profile Projector V-12B Series

The V12-B profile projector is a precise benchtop instrument of strong construction that utilises Nikon’s optics and co-ordinate measuring stages to deliver highly accurate results.

Fully Parfocal Projection Lens Series

The telecentric projection lenses are designed to be parfocal, avoiding excessive refocusing. They have long working distances for safe component inspection.

Wide Range of Measuring Stages

Five robust stages are available for the V-12B series, ranging from 10”x6” (250mm x 150mm) down to 2”x2” (50mm x 50mm).

Product Highlights

Large 12” (305mm) Projection Screen

The V-12B profile projector series boasts a 12” (305mm) glass projection screen mounted on a body of outstanding strength and build quality.

Optical Head Focusing

Focusing on the component is achieved by moving the optical head, not the stage assembly, providing far higher precision, accuracy and repeatability.

Telecentric Projection Lenses

Seven telecentric lenses from 5x to 200x with five intermediate values provide the capability for measuring a wide variety of component sizes and feature dimensions.

Upright, Right-Way-Around Projected Image

The V-12B projects a true image of the component surface onto the large glass screen. There is no loss of image sharpness.
