Fiber Optic Inspection Tools

New feature of MaxInspect software for Polarization-Maintaining fiber

Oceanside, CA, March 5, 2024. Sumix offers advanced support for Polarization-Maintaining fiber inspection, including automatic angle measurement and custom Pass/Fail parameters to match connector specifications. The new feature in MaxInspect software allows setting custom orientation of individual fiber stress rods for precise control of the polarization direction. This provides full support for all possible configurations of PM fibers, enabling geometry and anomalies inspection according to international standards, thus opening opportunities for manufacturers.

Features

• Custom fiber configuration
• Adjustable stress rods angle for each individual fiber
• Changeable PM rods diameter
• Set custom distance between PM rods
• Pass/Fail result for rods angle

2023 Year in Review: Solutions Developed

Oceanside, CA, January 30, 2024. Let’s revisit the highlights and pivotal moments that have made this past year unique. Here is an overview of some of the solutions that have been incorporated into the Sumix product range.

Inspection solutions for anomalies detection for:

• IP-SOLID SC connectors and connectors inside enclosures
• Senko IP MPO connectors in adapters, that can be also used for some other MPO patchcords in patch panels
• Pushlok™ cassettes
• MTCOMPACT Slim & Short ferrules
• MMC patch cords and patch panels
• TMT ferrules (12/24 and 16/32 fiber types)
• Amphenol's SIMTac 08 connectors
• Smiths' Light-Conex transceivers.

We have been actively improving solutions for integration in autonomous systems and robotic manufacturing, for which Manta HML microscope modification was introduced. Manta HM fiber inspection microscope can now be used with a Sumix 4.3" smart display for autonomous inspection in the field environment.

Solutions for end-face geometry inspection and anomalies detection for:

• 8- and 16-fiber SN-MT connectors and ferrules
• 16 and 24 fibers MMC patch cords
• TMT ferrules (16-fiber and 12/24-fiber configurations)
• LightABLE Series LGA 28G transceivers.

OCTOPUS 2 robotic interferometric system with multiple adapter types has been introduced for maintenance inspection of multi-termini fiber optic connectors (MIL-DTL-38999 style and similar).

We’re grateful to our clients whose inquiries have sparked the creation of innovative solutions, shaping our journey forward. Thank you for being part of our story!
