FAQs

The OptiLux SD sensor is compatible with almost all optical materials and coatings.

CHECK YOUR PARTS ARE COMPATIBLE

The typical inspection time for a 25 mm (1 “) diameter surface is less than 30 seconds, providing an improvement over manual inspection and evaluation. Further to this, OptiLux SD operators have the opportunity to complete additional tasks in parallel with fully-automated routines.

TEST INSPECTION/CYCLE TIME ON YOUR PARTS

The OptiLux SD can inspect any surface within the standard 300 x 300 mm inspection area. Customisation is available for larger parts.
