Use of Transit for machine tools and the difference
What is different between a Astrolabe , Clinometers , Sextant, Bubble Sextant and Transit/Theodolite. 1) Astrolabe , Clinometers is basically a plumb and a protractor apx ?¡ã some are deviations ?¡ã and you slip to ?¡ã [15 minutes] readings. This the lowest cost a protractor from dollar store and strar with string and old rusty nut for plumb bob Other low cost Clinometer More common type use primary on trees The is call a Clinometer but also could be a Astrolabe or Sextant Low accrucy High end Clinometers with range finder 2) Sextant measures angles between two objects typically the horizon and Sun or Stars 6 minutes to 20 seconds Use veneer or a worm gear. Very costly use on Large Ships Small size for lifeboats and practise 3) Bubble Sextant Use a bubble level because the horizon is not a option 6 minutes to 20 seconds. Use veneer or a worm gear. 4) Transit/Theodolite use a bubble level but can measure the angle between two objects 30 seconds for Transit and Theodolite is 20 seconds to 5 seconds only uses a veneer for greater accuracy , except for electronic type. This is a Transit and also call a Theodolite A Theodolite has to be accurate to 20 minutes and the telescope rotat 360¡ã This photo shows the 360 has all spec for a Theodolite too. This the one use for testing machine tool accrucy like rotary tables and deciding heads. This sitting on my work bench last month. The veneer graduate to 20 seconds The sextant and Transit/Theodolite. has a lot uses beyond the building or navigation. Just one is in machine tools for testing and settup.
