ACCUplace Position Grid
AP-P Series
The AP-P is a unique calibration target that is designed to test the position and/or recognition ability of a vision system. The matrix of small scales, precisely positioned in a grid matrix format, makes testing for subject recognition and system positioning simple.The overall target is comprised of a matrix consisting of 6.0mm x 6.0mm square individual components each having a 5.0mm x 5.0mm X & Y Scale with 0.100 divisions. The scale has pitch accuracy of 1μm. The AP-P is available on two standard materials; Chrome on Glass (CG) and Chrome on Opal (OP).

SINE M-19 Sinusoidal Array
The Sinusoidal Array SINE M-19 is a remarkable new test array that achieves 256 cycles per mm while maintaining a significant modulation. It is designed for testing high resolution optical systems such as microscopes. Because its maximum width is 7.5mm, the SINE M-19 is small enough to fit easily onto a standard microscope slide (the TM-G variation is mounted in glass).

SINE M-14 Sinusoidal Array
The Sinusoidal Array SINE M-14 was designed for various electro-optical applications, particularly where a small array is needed to fit into the frame. It can fit into an 18mm diameter circle or into a standard 35mm motion picture frame.The lines in the SINE M-14 lie perpendicular to the length of the film. In addition, the pattern is available on a wider film (without perforations) cemented between glass (TM-G options) both the .6 (-60) and .8 (-80) modulations.

ACCUplace Macro Calibration Standard
AP-M Series
With both X & Y axis metric scales, these dual axis targets are ideal for calibrating optical magnification in microscopes, linear distance, stage motion and squareness. In addition, with the larger area calibration scale, the calibration of low power optical systems over the longer distances can be easily carried out. The AP-M is offered on two standard materials; Glass (CG) and Opal (OP).

SINE M-15-60 Sinusoidal Array
The reflective Sinusoidal Array SINE M-15-60 is similar to the M-13-60 (1X version) except that the range of spatial frequencies begins with 0.25 cycles per mm and extends to 20 cycles per mm. To compensate for the additional frequencies, the 3/16 cycles per mm area has been eliminated. Both arrays are imaged on Photo Paper.

SINE M-6 Sinusoidal Array
The Sinusoidal Array SINE M-6 contains the same gray scales and sinusoidal areas as the M-5 but is arranged in a shorter and wider format, making it particularly useful when the complete array is to be imaged at one time.The overall size of the array is 70mm x 46mm; centered on an 8.5 inch (215mm) strip of 70mm film, which can also be mounted in glass (TM-G variations) at each modulation (-35, -60, -80).

Robotics and Machine Vision Standards
Accuracy in machine vision systems is critical to achieving strategic goals regarding quality, efficiency, and consistency. Use our ACCUplace product lines to calibrate vision systems’ distortion, placement/alignment, or other field parameters in systems used for guidance, identification, gauging, and inspection. Using our specialized ACCUedge® technology, our Robotic and Machine Vision Standards are manufactured with line-edge quality that is second to none in the industry, providing the precision needed to calibrate almost any system. Should you need to alter feature patterns, size, or substrate to fit your needs, fill out our Optical Components and Standards form to start the conversation.

ACCUplace Dot Patterns
AP-D Series
All machine vision lenses will show some type of distortion. Minimizing or correcting that distortion is crucial in most applications. The ACCUplace Dot Patterns target is designed to check, verify, or quantify barrel distortion in vision systems, alignment between multiple optical systems, and can calibrate instruments with both vision and motion systems. The indexed columns and rows of dot features provide reference points that make alignment and distortion detection simple and straightforward. The AP-D is offered on four standard materials; Glass (CG) Opal (OP) Photopaper (RM) and Film (TM).

SINE FBI Charts
There are two SINE Sinusoidal arrays designed for FBI applications: the SINE M-13-60-S-RM and the SINE M-13-60-FBI Kit.The SINE M-13-60-S-RM was designed jointly by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, of Washington DC, and MITRE, of Bedford MA. The primary function of this Target is for computing Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) evaluation in live scanner fingerprint systems for conformance to Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems (AFIS) image quality requirements. The array is on reflective material measuring 16mm x 16mm with sinusoidal arrays ranging in frequency from 1.0 to 10.0 cycles per mm; with nominal modulation of the sinusoidal areas at 60%. The top and bottom rows are density scales, from 0.20 to 1.20 densities.The SINE M-13-60-FBI Kit consist of two individual components, the SINE M-13-60-1X-RM and the RR1-N-RM Ronchi Ruling grating.
