The Agilent 55281A Angular Optics Kit adds pitch and yaw measurement capability to the 5529A Laser Measurement System. Ideal for use in precision calibration applications, it includes the 10770A Angular Interferometer and the 10771A Angular Reflector. Together the high-accuracy plane mirror interferometer and the angular reflector measure pitch and yaw motions along each axis that a machine tool or measuring machine travels. Results are displayed directly in arc-seconds or in mm/mm (in/in).

As part of the 5529A system, the optics kit can help quickly locate and evaluate unwanted angular motion. Used as a powerful diagnostic tool, the 55281A helps find the causes of linear positioning errors -- information that is critical in making replace or rebuild decisions for older machine tools. Used in the metrology laboratory, the 5529A system calibrates precision equipment, including rotary devices, autocollimators, and electronic levels.

Features:

• Helps eliminate additional linear measurements
• Alignment target (included) simplifies setup
• 11 mm (0.43 in) beam separation
• High 0.1 arc-second resolution
• Range of up to ±36000 arc-seconds (±10°)
• Optics fit conveniently into the Agilent 10786A transit case (supplied with the Agilent 55280A Linear Measurement Kit)
