NEW SmartScope Flash 250 with Feather Probe



FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ROCHESTER, NY, June 2003 - Optical Gaging Products (OGP®) announces its latest automatic multi-sensor metrology solution - SmartScope® Flash(TM) 250 with optional Feather Probe(TM). This multisensor-capable machine integrates video and micro-probing technology to automatically measure dimensions of manufactured parts that are too small or fragile for traditional touch probes. Feather Probe measures surfaces with micro-probes that exert as little as a milligram of force per measurement. SmartScope Flash 250 is a stable, small footprint, benchtop machine with 12 inches (300 mm) of X travel to accommodate long parts and wide fixtures. Its proven stage design, large stage travel, and multi-sensing capability make it an ideal choice for almost any dimensional measurement application.

The large imaging range of the AccuCentric(TM) 12x zoom lens is automatically calibrated at every magnification, making the SmartScope Flash 250 ideal for non-contact measurement of subtle features regardless of material. The system can also be configured with a traditional touch probe and several types of laser scanners. Powered by either of OGP's exclusive measurement software packages, Measure-X(TM) or MeasureMind® 3D MultiSensor, SmartScope Flash 250 uses point-and-click tools to simplify the creation of automatic measurement routines. Written from the ground up to optimize measurement versatility and minimize setup time, Measure-X and MeasureMind 3D MultiSensor work seamlessly with software options that include form fitting, SPC, CAD translation, and custom report writing. Measure-X provides a versatile measurement package for general use, and MeasureMind 3D MultiSensor provides a complete 3D package to take full advantage of the multi-sensing environment for complex parts.

SmartScope Flash with Feather Probe was developed to provide the advantages and precision of multi-sensor metrology to price-sensitive customers. It joins the family of OGP precision measuring systems that are used by manufacturers worldwide. SmartScope Flash is priced to justify its use at multiple locations within a facility, and in smaller shops that need to upgrade their capabilities. SmartScope Flash with Feather Probe is a "personal multi-sensor metrology system."

SmartScope Flash 250 will be featured at MD&M East in OGP's booth # 2545.
