Starrett
Founded in 1880, Starrett is one of the world’s most established precision measurement manufacturers. The company’s Metrology Systems Division produces optical comparators and CNC vision systems built for non-contact dimensional inspection. These systems deliver micron-level resolution, Video Edge Detection (VED), and CAD-based overlay capabilities across benchtop and floor-standing platforms.
Across sub-Saharan Africa, B&R 3D Solutions supplies, installs, and supports the full Starrett optical comparator and vision system range, bringing high-accuracy non-contact inspection to quality control teams and metrology laboratories.
Non-Contact Inspection at Micron-Level Accuracy
Starrett optical comparators and vision systems measure part geometry without physical contact, eliminating surface deformation risk while achieving resolution down to 0.5 µm. Systems range from benchtop units for lab environments to floor-standing platforms for larger components, all running on MetLogix metrology software with Video Edge Detection and DXF/CAD overlay as standard.
- Optical comparators deliver profile and contour inspection with interchangeable lens magnifications from 10× to 100×
- CNC vision systems combine automated stage positioning with high-resolution imaging for repeatable, operator-independent measurement
