An Optical Profile Projector beautifully combines optics, mechanics, electronics, and software to provide small parts two-dimensional measurements.
A beam of parallel light, produced by a tungsten or filament lamp (and with a large enough diameter to provide coverage of the test piece) along with a system of condensers, lenses, and mirrors is used to create and project a shadow of the test piece onto a built-in projection screen. The optical system magnifies the profile of the small part, making it easy to do measurements. Depending upon the light path Profile Projectors are further classified as Vertical Profile Projectors or Horizontal Profile Projectors.
The built-in table on which the test piece is kept is called a work stage that can be moved in x-y directions and has integrated linear encoders to precisely measure the x-y movements which are then displayed on a digital read-out or a computer screen using metrology software.
The operators using their visual acuity and perceptiveness identify and mark a reference point on the shadow (screen has crosshair reference). They then move the work stage along the length of the shadow, the dimension of which is to be measured. Alternatively, they can identify and mark points, and the system automatically calculates the distance, angle, arc length, etc. of the shadow and consequently calculates the same for the part.
The evolution of Profile Projectors led to the invention of Vision Measuring Systems or a video Measuring Machine which uses a digital image of the part (instead of a shadow as in Profile Projectors) and automatic edge detection to do more precise and accurate measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions
A profile projector is a non-contact optical device that magnifies and projects the contour of a part onto a screen for precise measurement and inspection. Using a light source, lenses, and mirrors, Profile projector displays an enlarged image for accurate evaluation of dimensions, angles, and shapes. Profile projector is widely used in manufacturing and quality control, ensuring components meet exact specifications with micron-level accuracy.
A digital profile projector is used to inspect and measure the dimensions and shapes of various objects. Its benefits include accurate measurements, faster inspection times, ability to overlay CAD drawings for comparison, and reduction in human error during inspection.
To identify verified profile projector manufacturers, look for certifications like ISO standards, check customer reviews and ratings, verify their industry experience and reputation, and ensure they provide warranties and after-sales support.
The profile projector price ranges from βΉ90,000 to βΉ35,00,000 in India. The equipment cost depends on the brand, model, and specifications.
To buy profile projector from a genuine manufacturer there are many suppliers and traders in the industry which provide cheap low- quality products. But we always recommend the customer purchase profile projector which can adhere to ISO, JIs standards etc. These instruments must be purchased only from a genuine manufacturer which provides prompt service and has a dedicated service team.
