WIZシリーズ

光コネクタの安定した正しい接続を実現するには、接触する端面同士が適切な形状になっている必要があるため、端面形状の精密測定は必須となっています。
光コネクタ端面三次元形状測定システム MAX/WIZシリーズは、単心・多心コネクタの端面形状を自動測定する、IEC国際規格に準拠した非接触の干渉型顕微鏡です。
測定精度の高さや扱いやすさはもとより、コンパクトな筐体とスピーディな測定で、光コネクタ製造現場における作業品質の向上を可能にします。

* 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.

MAX/WIZシリーズ

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

Measurement image
By adopting a high-performance image sensor that boasts a wide viewing angle and high resolution, high-precision image measurement without missing pixels is realized.

4. Abundant mounting jigs

Product image Optical connector end face 3D shape measurement system Mount jig
マウント治具が交換式のため、SC・LC・FCといった標準的な光コネクタはもちろん、E2000やMIL-STなどの特殊な光コネクタも測定可能です。また、MAX/WIZシリーズはコネクタがワンタッチで装着できるため、セッティングもよりスムーズになりました。

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

MAXおよびWIZシリーズはAF機能が内蔵されており、測定毎に手動で焦点を合わせる必要がないため、作業が効率的です。

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.

※1: The measurement time depends on the end face condition of the object to be measured and the performance of the PC.
※2: 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.
