Features:
· Measures single fiber connectors and fiber cleaves.
· Patent Pending RFID interface allows instant apex offset calibration in a single measurement.
· Very small footprint – supplied by default with a laptop computer. Desktop and Tablet PC's available upon request.
· Modular design allows the system to grow with your needs and budget.
· Automatic reference mirror calibration – NO manual adjustments!!
· Automatic connector centering – NO manual adjustments!!
· Automatic focus, manual focus or BOTH!!
· Hermetically sealed optical module – a dusty production environment is no longer a problem.
· High resolution camera and optics – results in improved repeatability and reproducibility.
· Simple interface – just a single power cord and USB 2.0 or 3.0 port on the rear.
· No anti-vibration table required. Fan-less design removes any system induced vibration.
· Patented inspection mode and scratch analysis.
· Fast measurement – <3 seconds (depending on model, excluding focus).
· “Auto Sense” technology, initiates a measurement automatically as soon as the connector is inserted.
· Simple operation – centering, focus and initiating the scan itself can all be completely automatic.
· Calibration is held on the instrument itself, eliminating the need to keep the interferometer and PC as a matched pair.
· Software backup, calibration and an image of the PC itself (if supplied), are all stored on the instrument itself, in non-volatile memory – making lost disks, viruses, deleted files, corrupted Windows and PC failures easy to fix.
· System design lends itself to integration in automated production lines.
· Manufactured by a vendor that has sold more automated connector measuring interferometers than all other vendors combined.
· Complete system ships in a single 16”x16”x20” box when configured with a laptop or tablet PC.
· 1 Year Warranty included.
