The multi-sensor SmartScope Flash 500 is an automatic dimensional measurement system with ample X/Y stage travel to accommodate measurement of a single large part, or groups of smaller parts.
SmartScope Flash 500 is a smallfootprint floor-stand system that features 500mm x 450mm x 200mm, X/Y/Z measurement volume, with the added flexibility of a 300mm or 400mm extended Z-axis option and/ or 610mm extended Y-axis option.
Measurement accuracy is assured through designed-in features. For example, its optical assembly moves in the X-axis across a steel crossbeam so it is evenly supported throughout the extent of its travel, and there is no stage travel beyond the width of the unit. The part moves only in the Yaxis.
All axes are DC servo driven and use high-resolution scales for positional feedback. A metrologically stable granite platform ensures proper damping and structural integrity. And, integral system electronics minimize the total system footprint while maximizing stage travel.
The Flash 500 is equipped with the AccuCentric 12x motorized zoom lens that auto-calibrates at every magnification change. There are multiple system illumination sources, including the white LED SmartRing light, coaxial (TTL) white surface illuminator, and green LED back light.
SmartScope Flash 500 is also configurable with optional touch trigger probes for tactile measurement of hard-to-image part features, laser for non-contact surface contouring, or micro-probe sensors.
