Groove Depth Measuring Kit

This is a kit for measuring groove depth. It includes a digital microscope and a reticle measurement slide. We have tried to find the most economical way of doing this for the most affordable price. There have been test cuts analysed by a top plating facility and the groove depth measured from this method aligned with their high end, precision equipment.

Instructions:

1) Set up your cutterhead weight as you normally would.

2) Place the reticle slide onto the disc, positioning it directly over the grooves (use a test disc for setup). Make sure the slide is upside down, so the measurements touch and align with the grooves.

3) Place the camera to the slide and focus the microscope.

4) The camera features an adjustable light control.  Use this to fine tune the lighting, for the best image use black blanks.

5)A depth of 50 to 60um typically ideal. Adjust the head weight as needed.

Try not to touch the reticle slide with your fingers, it is easy to get finger prints and grease which makes for a blurry image!
