The TestDIC – Simply point, shoot, and measure

The TestDIC is Dantec Dynamic’s new “fixed-setup” DIC system, whereby the cameras are permanently mounted within the system unit and the (std.) lenses are supplied pre-adjusted (in both focus and aperture).

For industrial users of DIC, the TestDIC requires no adjustment of the cameras and/or lenses is required for a given test.  Additionally, the calibration of the projection does not need to be performed each time, before a new test setup is used – since the DIC test setup remains unchanged.  Users save time, effort and ensure reliable measurement results.

The TestDIC is designed for measuring a Field-of-View (FoV) (H x V) of 25 x 20 cm with the standard supplied lenses of f= 16 mm. Two laser pointers are incorporated in the TestDIC that aid the user in adjusting the correct distance-to-object (DtO), for which is set at 50 cms. At the point of intersection (cross-over) between the two laser pointers, the correct distance and point-of-focus has been set.
