OGP (Optical Gaging Products), a division of Quality Vision International (QVI), will demonstrate improved measuring sensors on its advanced dimensional measuring machines. On platforms ranging from cost-effective general-purpose measuring systems to high-accuracy, high-performance metrology systems, OGP offers a variety of measuring sensors for a variety of measurement applications.
TeleStar Probe is a self-contained off-axis partial coherence interferometric range sensor for surface contour measurement. TeleStar Probe offers measured point resolution in the sub-micron (< 0.1 micron) range, providing enhanced performance on both specular and light-scattering diffuse surfaces. The probe scans up to 500 data points per second with 1.0 micron accuracy and 0.1 micron repeatability. TeleStar Probe features a 25 mm constant working distance, and its shallow return angle allows measurement deep inside bores and blind holes. Mounted in a mechanical deployment mechanism, the probe retracts out of the way when not in use. TeleStar Probe uses the same advanced interferometric technology available previously in through-the-lens form on OGP SmartScope Quest, and makes it now available in a more cost-effective off-axis form on SmartScope ZIP Advance.
Feather Probe is a micro-metrology sensor that uses resonance as its trigger mode. Its minimally sized probe tips, as small as 100 microns in diameter, can exhibit trigger forces well below 1 milligram, making it useful for measuring extremely small, fragile or easily deformed features. With Feather Probe's new Dynamic Resonance Mode, a controller constantly monitors probe resonance to detect potential environmental effects such as temperature, air motion and vibration. When a resonance-altering effect is detected, the controller dynamically adjusts Feather Probe resonance to eliminate external influences that could have an adverse effect on measurement accuracy.
Rainbow Probe provides high-resolution non-contact measurement by analyzing the optical spectrum of reflected light to measure surface height changes. Rainbow Probe is designed to measure where other sensors cannot, easily characterizing transparent, translucent, fragile, liquid or easily deformable surfaces. A range of probes is available, each with its unique measuring range, working distance, axial resolution, accuracy and spot size. OGP's newest probe, the RP1500, offers a 32 mm working distance and an axial resolution of 40 nanometers, making it a versatile probe. The RP1500 probe barrel is relatively small and is retractable under program control, moving it out of the way and making it easy to combine with other measurement sensors on a single metrology system.
"QVI Sonic Controller enables high performance SP25 scanning using QVI hardware and advanced ZONE3 metrology software at a reduced cost compared to standard controllers," said a company spokesperson. "With QVI Sonic, SP25 scanning probe capabilities can now be added to most SmartScope Flash, ZIP and Quest models. Sonic streamlines and simplifies scanning probe operation set-up, offering more than twice the processing speed of a standard SP25 controller while eliminating an external control unit and several cables."
