In order to achieve a stable and correct connection of an optical connector, the contacting end faces must have an appropriate shape, so precision measurement of the end face shape is essential.
The MAX+/WIZ+ series optical connector end face 3D shape measurement system is a non-contact interference microscope that conforms to IEC international standards and automatically measures the end face shape of single-core and multi-core connectors.
In addition to its high measurement accuracy and ease of handling, its compact housing and speedy measurement make it possible to improve work quality at optical connector manufacturing sites.
* For measurement, a separate PC and a mounting jig according to the connector type are required. Please check the following operating environment for the operating environment of the PC.

feature
1.Compact and lightweight housing
The housing has a compact design that can be installed in a smaller space than a B4 notebook, and weighs less than 4kg *, making it easy to carry.
*MAX-Quantum only weighs 4.8kg
2. Can be measured with a general-purpose PC
Just install the measurement software and driver on a standard Windows PC and you can start measuring right away.
3. Speedy display of clear images
4. Abundant mounting jigs
5. No anti-vibration table required
Since the housing has been carefully vibration-isolated, there is no need for an anti-vibration table, and it can be installed anywhere.
6. No setting required
Due to the use of precision ground mounting jigs, there is almost no need for adjustment work such as troublesome calibration.
7.AF (autofocus) function
The MAX+ and WIZ+ series have a built-in AF function that eliminates the need to manually focus for each measurement, making work more efficient.
8. Achieves high reproducibility in multi-core measurement
Sumix's unique latest technology SideView (measures the angle of the guide pin from the side) enables even higher accuracy and reproducibility of measurement. In addition, since there is no need to hold down the connector and it is possible to fix the connector only by inserting the butt, it is easy to incorporate into an automated line.
Model selection points
You can choose the model according to the purpose of measuring the connector end face.

Repeatability CF is the numerical value at 1Σ when the reproducibility is measured 30 times without inserting/removing the optical connector. Repeatability CR is a numerical value at 1Σ when the optical connector is inserted and removed for each measurement and the reproducibility is measured 30 times. Only MAX-Quantum uses SC/APC for single fiber data. |
