FAQs

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

CHECK YOUR PARTS ARE COMPATIBLE

This will depend on the choice of magnification. For the standard sensor configuration, the typical inspection time for a 25 mm (1 “) diameter surface is less than 30 seconds, providing an improvement over manual inspection and evaluation.

TEST INSPECTION/CYCLE TIME ON YOUR PARTS

Yes, in this case the ‘high speed’ sensor configuration offers a significant improvement in inspection cycle times and is usually the preferred choice. For support in finding the best sensor configuration for your application please contact our technical sales team.

Following best practice, the environment where optical surfaces are inspected should to take into consideration the extent to which surface contamination can be tolerated. For this reason, OptiLux SD offers a unique workflow that provides inspection teams with the ability to monitor the rate of surface contamination and suitability of the local operating environment.
