Our 545-190 tilting level combines precision with rugged reliability to
execute the most demanding leveling jobs. The telescope has adjustments to
maintain the line of sight
straight throughout a focusing range of two inches to
infinity, allowing the instrument to be located in the
tightest of setups. This straightness is maintained at
±0.001" (0.025mm) from two inches to 17 feet (50.8mm to
5.2m) and one arcsecond
from 17 feet to infinity. The main telescope tube has a
removable section to facilitate conversion for
autocollimation, autoprojection, or installation of a right
angle eyepiece. The optical micrometer produces
repeatable readings with a resolution of 0.001" (0.025mm). This provides a
means of easily leveling all types of machinery and
equipment, or evaluating the orientation of tables, ways,
shafts, etc., to accuracies that are difficult to achieve
by conventional mechanical methods.

 Precision leveling. The 545-190 gives you the ability to
establish a line of sight which is extremely
level. The two-speed telescope tilting
screw has a coarse thread to get you in the ballpark
quickly, and a fine thread for those precise adjustments which
bring you into perfect level. In
addition, a coincidence-type level
with 2½ times magnification optically "folds" both
ends of the precision
level vial's bubble together, enabling you to detect the tiniest deviation
from level. One arcsecond of tilt is discernible using
this "coincidence" vial methodology.
The horizontal axis pivots directly over the vertical axis,
making the change in plane height less than 0.0001" for tilts
up to 5 arc minutes either above or below horizontal. This important
feature eliminates the need to perform the time-consuming precision
plumbing procedure for leveling projects.
The model 545-190 uses high quality base components and leveling
vials similar in design to our model 76-RH transit, allowing this
instrument to sweep precise planes. For rough
leveling, the unit has a circular level vial mounted on the base.
 Multiple capabilties. The eyepiece of the 545-190 may be
interchanged with accessories (listed below) to
provide autocollimation, autoreflection, and reticle
projection capabilities, just like our transits. The reticle's
filar/bifilar pattern makes
for easy use with our optical tooling scales, or during
collimation or autocollimation procedures.
 Tilting level comes with or without a micrometer. Measurements
from the optical reference line are taken by using an optical micrometer
mounted on the telescope.
The 545-190 comes standard with a 190 optical micrometer. To
order this instrument without the micrometer, use model number
545-1 (pictured at left). You may wish to do this, for example, in
order to substitute a metric micrometer or to use a 190
micrometer that you may already have. Have a look at our
other micrometers.
