SmartScope Flash 200

SmartScope® Flash™ 200 is an advanced multi-sensor measuring machine with the functionality to combine Video, Touch, Laser, White Light and Feather probes. Flash machines are ideal for shop floor or gauge lab applications where the need for flexibility is paramount and large batch samples need to be quickly and accurately measured and controlled.

SmartScope® Flash™ has been designed as a rugged workhorse, the bench top Flash™ 200 has a unique ‘elevating bridge’ feature which maximises the measurement volume but keeps the overall size of the machine compact. This design also facilitates a stiff metrology frame which can be protected from ingress and is critical for accurate repeatable measurement in hostile shop floor environments.

SmartScope Mode of Operation

Measurements can be made both manually and in fully automatic modes. Operation is sequenced via Measure-X™ which is intuitive, fully featured multi-sensor metrology software.

For measurement, operators simply select the features to be measured, optimise the video and the SmartScope® will automatically detect the feature’s size, position and form. Tolerance information can be added and used in conjunction with the measured data to produce an inspection report which can be printed or stored in digital format. In addition the collected data can be used for Statistical Process Control (SPC)

Inspection sequences are recorded ‘on the fly’ to create fully automatic routines that control inspection steps, magnification and lighting to ensure that subsequent components are measured accurately, repeatably and without subjectivity.

Optics, Lighting & Probes

SmartScope® Flash™ systems are also equipped with sophisticated AccuCentric™ auto-calibrating zoom optics. This patented technology allows measurements to be taken throughout the zoom range without any degradation in accuracy and is ideal for making highly accurate, non-contact, Z measurements.
Sophisticated, patented, illuminations sources such as the white light LED SmartRing™, capable of pinpointing light from a multitude of different angles, or the LED under-stage lighting, which automatically tracks the camera position, thus keeping the light coaxial to the optical centre line, can be controlled by a single mouse click.

Component images can easily be collected and stored at varying degrees of magnification and in a variety of formats for visual defect analysis.

Optional probes can be added to the Flash™ to provide fully integrated multi-sensor capability. Each sensor can be called as required and used in the same inspection routine without the need for manual intervention. This functionality delivers an amazing amount of flexibility, ensuring most inspection tasks can be easily performed in just one setup.
