SmartScope Apex 200

SmartScope Apex high accuracy non-contact co-ordinate measuring machine

 

SmartScope® Apex is the measurement solution for high magnification video and multi-sensor applications. Versatile auto-sensing quick mount lenses offer on-screen magnifications from 84x to 2100x.


Sturdy granite support columns maintain the physical stability needed for such high magnifications while 0.04_m XYZ scales provide the necessary resolution.

Fitted with optional DRS™ Laser, Rainbow™ or Feather™ probing this stable, robust metrology platform will characterise the most intricate of components to the highest of accuracies.

SmartScope® Apex comes with the powerful MeasureMind® 3D multi-sensor metrology software with full three dimensional functionality. Easily control lighting, magnification and edge detection to measure and reports of features. Select and store images in digital format for visual defect analysis.
