High Resolution Optical Measurement Sensor



Optical Gaging Products (OGP), a division of Quality Vision International (QVI), offers its RP1500 Rainbow Probe optical measurement sensor. Innovative OGP Rainbow Probe technology provides high resolution non-contact measurement by analyzing the optical spectrum of reflected light to measure surface height changes. "Rainbow Probe can measure where other sensors cannot, easily characterizing transparent, translucent, fragile, liquid or easily deformable surfaces," said a company spokesperson. A range of probes are available, each with a unique measuring range, working distance, axial resolution, accuracy and spot size.

The RP1500 features a generous 32 mm working distance combined with an axial resolution of 40 nanometers. The RP1500 probe barrel is relatively small and is deployable under program control, making it easy to combine with other measurement sensors on a single metrology system.

The RP1500 is compatible with QVI ZONE3, MeasureMind 3-D MultiSensor and VMS metrology software platforms. ZONE3, QVI's premium CAD-based 3-D metrology software, features a clear, simple user interface, and its kinematic model simulates the machine, part, fixtures and measuring sensor, updated in real time. Built-in productivity maximizing tools, integrated GD&T functionality and visual validation of measurement intent offer speed and power to the measurement process. Visual representation of the Rainbow Probe scan is provided by plots of color surface maps and deviation whiskers. ZONE3 supports simultaneous use of multiple sensors, making appropriate tools available for complex measurement tasks.
