DORC interferometer

DORC is the world’s leading manufacturer of automated interferometers and inspection equipment for measuring the surface topography of fiberoptic connectors. The ZX-1 micro PMS+ is dedicated to the measurement of single fiber connectors, and the ZX-1 micro Array+ HD can measure both multifiber and single fiber connectors. The ZX-1 micro DUET+ system can include any two ZX-1 micro optical modules and be controlled by a single PC. Click on the images/links below for more information on each system.

ZX-1 Micro PMS

• Measures single fiber connectors and fiber cleaves.
• Patented RFID interface allows instant apex offset calibration in a single measurement.
• Very small footprint – supplied by default with a laptop computer. Desktop and Tablet PC’s available upon request.
• Modular design allows the system to grow with your needs and budget.
• Automatic reference mirror calibration – NO manual adjustments!!
• Automatic connector centering – NO manual adjustments!!
• Fast automatic focus, manual focus or BOTH!!
• Hermetically sealed optical module – a dusty production environment is no longer a problem.
• High resolution camera and optics – results in improved repeatability and reproducibility.
• Simple interface – just a single power cord and USB 3.0 port on the rear.
• No anti-vibration table required. Fan-less design removes any system induced vibration.
• Patented inspection mode and scratch analysis.
• Fast measurement – <1 second (depending on model, excluding focus).
• “Auto Sense” technology, initiates a measurement automatically as soon as the connector is inserted.
• Simple operation – centering, focus and initiating the scan itself can all be completely automatic.
• Calibration is held on the instrument itself, eliminating the need to keep the interferometer and PC as a matched pair.
• Software backup, calibration and an image of the PC itself (if supplied), are all stored on the instrument itself, in non-volatile memory – making lost disks, viruses, deleted files, corrupted Windows and PC failures easy to fix.
• System design lends itself to integration in automated production lines.
• Manufactured by a vendor that has sold more automated connector measuring interferometers than any other.
• Complete system ships in a single 16”x16”x20” box when configured with a laptop or tablet PC.
• 1 Year Warranty included.

ZX-1 Micro Array + HD

• Measures BOTH multi fiber and single fiber connectors.
• HD version supports F16/32 MT Connectors.
• Very small footprint – supplied by default with a laptop computer. Desktop or Tablet PC’s available upon request.
• Automatic reference mirror calibration – NO manual adjustments!!
• Automatic connector centering – NO manual adjustments!!
• Automatic focus – NO manual adjustments!!
• Hermetically sealed optical module – a dusty production environment is no longer a problem.
• High resolution camera and optics – results in improved repeatability and reproducibility.
• Simple connections – just a single power cord and USB 3.0 port on the rear.
• No anti-vibration table required. Fan-less design eliminates any system induced vibration.
• Patented reference guide pins are integrated into the chuck and made of ceramic, so they can never bend.
• Fast measurement – typically less than 30 seconds (including calibration verification).
• No calibration whatsoever required when changing chucks from single fiber to MT/MPO® or MT-RJ.
• Simple operation – insert the connector and right click to measure. Centering, focus and the scan are all automatic.
• Calibration is held on the instrument itself, eliminating the need to keep the interferometer and PC as a matched pair.
• Software backup, calibration and an image of the supplied PC are all stored on the instrument itself, in non-volatile memory – making lost disks, viruses, deleted files, corrupted Windows and PC failures a snap to recover from.
• Manufactured by a vendor that has sold more automated connector measuring interferometers than any other.
• Costs 30% less than the prior version and the complete system ships in a single 16”x16”x20” box when configured with a laptop.
• 1 Year Warranty included.
