Optical microscope:Using a high magnification optical microscope, the EasyCheck end face detector series of products can inspect the condition of the ferrule end face in detail. By observing the image of the device's end face, one can observe the quality, defects, scratches, or other issues of the end face. This is the simplest and most intuitive method, but it has certain limitations and is influenced by the operator's sense of responsibility and experience.

Automatic optical inspection :SmartCheck and FastCheck Pro fully automatic end face detectors use automated algorithms for image processing and analysis, which can efficiently detect issues such as scratches or defects on device end faces. It can provide more accurate detection results, which is conducive to analyzing and controlling quality, unaffected by personnel operation factors, and saves time and cost of manual inspection.

The main advantages of FastCheck Pro

Mainly aimed at single core fully automatic measurement
• Network transmission of data
• Clear image quality
A PC can simultaneously connect and run 4 FastCheck v2 end testers
• Collaborate with Offshore Mark IV to form a fully automated production line
