Measuring equipment plays a major role in production processes to ensure product quality. It allows manufacturers to measure multiple machined workpieces with the same standards to check if they have been machined according to the drawings. However, a general CMM takes more than 15 minutes to measure one small shaft; that is, it takes considerable time to measure all pieces.Moreover, a general CMM is unable to measure an area which a contact probe cannot physically reach. The Optoflash from Marposs is the perfect solution for such issues. The Optoflash is a high-precision measuring unit designed for small shafts and can conduct 100 static measurements in as fast as two seconds.
Sensing technology for overwhelming measuring speed and significant reduction in measuring time
The Optoflash is a non-contact coordinate measuring machine developed to measure small shafts. The biggest feature is the overwhelming measuring speed that enables 100 static measurements to be completed in two seconds and dynamic measurements in about 15 to 30 seconds.
This impressive measuring speed is made possible by fixed-type multiple 2D sensors used for image processing. Multiple images acquired by the image sensors mounted on different positions are combined together to generate a single seamless image, allowing instantaneous measurements at multiple locations.In this way, the Optoflash instantaneously measures multiple workpieces up to 300 mm in length* without moving the sensors or workpieces in the vertical direction, thereby achieving significant reduction in measuring time.
The Optoflash is available in three types: S100, S200 and S300, according to the size of the workpiece.

Space saving with fixed-type sensors
Specializing in small workpieces to realize unit introduction at low cost
The Optoflash comes with fixed image sensors, so there is little wear on the moving parts, and a higher maintainability can be achieved compared with conventional CMMs that require sensors to move in the Z-axis direction.
Additionally, the fixed type requires no motion control, making the measuring equipment compact and affordable.
In general, a contact-type CMM is unable to measure an area which a contact probe cannot physically reach. On the other hand, the non-contact Optoflash can easily measure rounded corners, taper angles and narrow grooves of complex-shaped workpieces like a compressor shaft without damage.
Another feature of the Optoflash is that it requires no setup change for each measurement position; once programs are input, you can do measurements just by switching programs according to the workpiece. A robot arm is available as an option to allow for automatic measurements.
Easily specify measurement points with touch panel
Automatic data storage also possible
The Optoflash offers intuitive operation with a touch panel. You can complete programming just by specifying measurement details and points to be measured on the touch panel screen.
The measurement data is automatically stored in a built-in computer. This eliminates conventional manual tasks of writing down measurement results and input them into a PC. Moreover, the stored data can be shared with other devises via a file server, memory stick, etc., facilitating data sharing within your company.
With sales and service bases in more than 20 major industrial cities around the world, Marposs delivers smooth and reliable support for customers worldwide.
The Optflash has proven results in many industries, including automotive; consumer electronics; hydraulic device; medical, and parts machining, all of which involve shaft machining.
Offering quick and easy shaft measurement with high efficiency, the Optoflash is ideal for not only spot checking, but also 100% inspection. So, the use of the measuring unit consequently leads to reduction of overall production costs. We recommend the Optoflash as an innovative measuring solution that helps minimize measuring time and cost in any industry.
