MAX-QM+ is an automated interferometer for inspection of single and multi-fibre connectors of MTP®/MPO, ST, FC, SC, LC, MU, E2000™, SMA types as well as MT, MT-RJ ferrules.
High measurement speed, portable design, autofocus and a large field of view with the ability to test 12 or 16 fibres per row have made MAX-QM+ an immensely popular solution for high-volume production lines.
MAX-QM+ is supplied with the industry-leading MaxInspect™ software for interferometric inspection of fiber optic connectors.
High resolution 2D and 3D surface profiles
Explore surface details as small as 2.2 μm.
Autofocus
Minimize operator’s actions to just one click.
Large field of view of up to 5700 μm
Measure connector from guide hole to guide hole.
Fast measurements
Measure multi-fibre connectors as quickly as 3 seconds.
Compatibility with innovative Side+Front View fixtures
Overcome cable tension and ferrule positioning uncertainties in MTP®/MPO measurement and control additional parameters - guide holes parallelism and angles.
MT16 and MT32 inspection
Stay on top of the latest market technologies.
Ergonomic fixture design
Save time with easy ferrule/connector insertion and fixture handling.
Data-base connectivity

Measurement Range:
|
ROC (mm): 1 to flat Apex offset (μm): 0 to 2000 Fiber height* (μm): more than 1000** Angles measurements - full range (degrees): 0 to 28*** * Difference from the highest and lowest points of the scanned object. **<100 µm available by default. >100 µm - for special connectors/tasks (software adjustment required). *** Regular fixtures - 0, 8, 9 degrees. Customized fixtures - 0 -28 degrees. |
