 Projector PJ/PV/PH Series
Each Mitutoyo profile projector measuring machine efficiently performs measurements, inspections and observations by
projecting an image of a test workpiece on the stage onto a viewing screen under accurate magnification.
The inherently non-contact measurement method of profile projectors makes this type of instrument highly suitable for
measuring small parts that are unmeasurable with general-purpose contact instruments or plastic parts that are easily deformed.
A profile projector can also be used to observe the surface profiles of workpieces or inspect minute assemblies with surface
illumination. Additionally, a wide selection of accessories allows advanced measurement and inspection of various types of
workpieces. These machines can be installed and used in a wide range of environments from inspection rooms to manufacturing
and processing sites.

Provides reliable measurements in manufacturing site environments.

 PJ-PLUS This profile projector can be operated intuitively, even by inexperienced users, and has excellent
durability and energy saving performance thanks to the adoption of an LED illumination source
and fan-less cooling system.
This provides stable dimension and angle measurements in harsher environments that conventional
PJ-PLUS
models can’t handle, such as manufacturing and processing lines.

Features (high durability and energy savings)

Thanks to the LED light source, lamp burnout is greatly reduced.

Stepless illumination adjustment LED Circular Illuminator for PJ-PLUS Optional

PJ-PLUS

The conventional 2-step illumination adjustment has been changed to

stepless control so the level of illumination can be precisely set to suit the
surface texture and color of the workpiece.

Example of attaching the LED circular illuminator on PJ-PLUS

LED illumination can increase contrast and provide sharper images of the
workpiece.
Projected image can be observed at high color reproducibility, Low power
consumption: 17.4 W, and long operating life: 30,000 hours.

High visibility digital display

PJ-PLUS

Since the digital counter (XY axes and angle) built into all models as
standard uses a high-intensity LED and a large character display, it secures
high visibility unaffected by the environment. In addition to zero-setting
and direction change, the data output of each counter value adopts the
highly versatile RS-232C.

The profile projector must maintain a high level of performance, not only
in terms of optical performance, but also comprehensive measurement
accuracy. The PJ-H30 Series, which performs not only contour observation
and comparative inspection but also two-dimensional measurement with
high accuracy, has achieved the above measurement accuracy in all stage
sizes.*

Having a halogen lamp burn out during use causes issues and down time.
Immediately after a lamp burns out, it is too hot to be replaced. The PJ-H30
Series has a slide change mechanism, which allows you to change lamps
from outside of the machine. Even if the lamp burns out suddenly, you can
continue inspection and measurement without issues (for transmitted
illumination only). The housing can be pulled out just by loosening the
High color reproducibility
screw, making it very easy to replace the lamp. Furthermore, it is safe to pull
out the housing because no electricity is flowing.

 Features (Operability)

All models equipped with turrets as standard Projection Lens 10X with C mount Optional

PJ-H30

The turret of the PJ-H30 Series uses low-friction bearings for

smooth and rapid rotary motion and to bring different projection lenses
into the light path to change magnification. The turret body uses bayonet
mounts to aid quick attachment and detachment of lenses. Example of attaching the Projection Lens 10X with C mount on PJ-H30
The projection lens is equipped with a
C mount, therefore a compatible digital
camera can be attached.
Focusing with high operability A workpiece can be observed on
the large-size projection screen, and
simultaneously the color image can be
saved on the camera and observed on the
monitor.

Note: PJ-H30D (with motor-driven focusing) does not come with a manual focusing handle.

Stepless illumination adjustment

LED illumination can increase the contrast of the projected image and
provide sharp on-screen images. The projected image will have higher
color reproducibility when compared to halogen illumination. Low power
consumption: 17.4 W and longer operating life: 30,000 hours.

Twist roller system Quick-release handle

A quick-release mechanism inside the X / Y handle allows you to switch

stage feed between extremely coarse and fine traverse movement. Since
PH-3515F
the stage is completely free floating, it is very convenient when the distance
PH-A14
to the next measuring position is large or when you need to return to the
(Picture right is PH-3515F)
reference position swiftly. Since this mechanism has adopted the twist roller
system, there is almost no shock in switching, and the feed is smooth.

Note: Except for PJ-PLUS Series and PH Series.

● An edge detecting device for improving the measuring efficiency and reliability of a
profile projector by removing the need to position the cross hairs on an edge manually.
This has the effect of eliminating the operator variability factor from data entry and
shortening the measurement time.
● The detector uses an optical fiber that can be easily fixed on the screen with chart clips.

● The device is provided with an error detection function that works if the screen light

intensity changes.
● This device can be retrofitted onto the QM-Data200 and does not need an AC adapter
Detecting sensor: Built into center of screen, non-directional

■ Erect Image and Inverted Image
Basic knowledge■ Telecentric Optical System
An image of an object projected onto a screen is erect if it is orientated the This is an optical system where the principal ray is aligned parallel to the
same way as the object on the stage. If the image is reversed top to bottom, optical axis by placing a lens stop on the focal point on the image side. Its
left to right and by movement with respect to the object on the stage functional feature is that the image will not vary in size though the image
(as shown in the figure below) it is referred to as an inverted image blurs as the object is shifted along the optical axis.
(also known as a reversed image. For measuring projectors and measuring microscopes, an identical effect is
obtained by placing a lamp filament at the focal point of a condenser lens
instead of a lens stop so the object is illuminated with parallel beams.
