Comparison Chart
SMX-QD10 is a blue-green light interferometer for inspection of single fiber connectors of ST, FC, SC, LC, MU, APC types, small format multi fiber connectors of MT-RJ and SMA types.
SMX-QD10 interferometer provides white light mode for scanning connector surfaces with discontinuities from 125 nm (half fringe) up to several microns. The interferometer provides a practical resolution of 1 micron for inspection of small features like fiber buffer and for detection of connector defects.
The interferometer combines solid performance, compact size and reduced vibration sensitivity providing enough stability for normal work in a busy workshop.
The SMX-QD10 interferometer is supplied with the ISI (Interferometric Surface Inspection) analytical software. Read more about software
Features
- Precision and rugged design using custom engineered optics, cameras, electronics, piezo phase shift and stepper motor systems providing repeatability among different devices and different operators
- Precision holders eliminating the need for tedious positioning and focusing of connectors
- Precision and high resolution optics in addition to 6.6 megapixel digital camera allowing inspection of fiber buffer zone and detection of defects
- The field of view with diameter of 1.2mm provides capability of testing MT-RJ connectors in one scan, eliminating errors due to stitching of several scans
- Compact design, USB 2.0 interface, and built-in battery providing portability of the device
