MAX-QM-B+ is a white-light and phase-shift interferometer for inspection of single and multi-fiber connectors of ST, FC, SC, LC, MU, MTP®/MPO, E2000™ (PC and APC) types as well as MT, MT-RJ (PC and APC) ferrules in a single scan. The interferometer features a wide field of view, portable design, autofocus, high testing speed and resolution of 1.4 micron.

The device connects to a laptop or desktop computer via USB 3.0 cable and 12V DC power adapter.

MAX-QM-B+ is supplied with the industry-leading MaxInspect™ software for interferometric inspection of fiber optic connectors.

Measurement

Measurement mode:
phase shift and white light
Scanning and calculation time*:

Measurement time may vary depending on computer performance and connector end face shape.
<1* sec (single fiber)
5** sec (MT12)
* 64 MHz, standard connector
** 64 MHz, MT12 connector with small X, Y angles
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.
Repeatability C.F.*:
* Values were calculated from 30 consecutive measurements without interaction on connector between measurements (connector fixed) and represent one sigma value.
ROC: 0.9 % (MT12); 0.04 % (SC/PC)
Fiber Height: 0.8 nm (MT12); 0.1 nm (SC/PC)
Angles: 0.005 deg (MT12); 0.0002 deg (SC/PC)
Apex Offset: 0.04 µm (SC/PC)
Repeatability C.R.*:
* Values were calculated from 30 consecutive measurements with removing and inserting connector between measurements (connector reloaded) and represent one sigma value.
ROC: 1.2 % (MT12); 0.05 % (SC/PC)
Fiber Height: 1.1 nm (MT12); 0.4 nm (SC/PC)
Angles: 0.01 deg (MT12); 0.006 deg (SC/PC)
Apex Offset: 1.0 µm (SC/PC)
