Enhanced capabilities for OGP's SmartScope Flash 200 benchtop dimensional measurement system have been added. As a multisensor metrology system, it can be outfitted with a touch probe, laser and/or micro-probes for complete part characterization in one setup. Tactile probing measures difficult-to-image features and a through-the-lens (TTL) laser adds non-contact surface contouring. Feather Probe and Rainbow Probe offer micro-probing capability for miniature, delicate and sensitive components. SmartScope Flash 200 can be configured with the right sensors for almost any application and can measure a range of parts of virtually any material, malleability, opacity or color.
This compact system has a 200-mm × 200-mm × 150-mm XYZ measurement volume to accommodate a range of parts and fixtures. All stage motion and magnification changes are motor-driven and programmable for fully automatic measurement.
SmartScope Flash 200 excels at video measurement with features such as illumination sources--a LED backlight that tracks the optics wit no moving parts; SmartRing surface light with multiple sectors/rings of white LEDs that allow control of light intensity, angle and direction; a TTL coaxial surface illuminator; and an LED grid projector for accurate video focus on polished, highly reflective parts. Its motorized 12 × AccuCentric auto-calibrating zoom lens provides high-resolution optical imaging.
