Overview

NorthLab´s ProView is an highly advanced interferometer for precise measurement and inspection of fiber end faces with cladding diameters between 125 - 720µm. The interferometer is specifically designed for production lines where a simple, fast and very accurate end face inspection is required. But the ProView is also well suited for R&D environments and for fiber cleaver maintenance purposes.

In many cases an interferometric fringe pattern can be very complicated to analyse and understand. For ease of use and optimal inspection speed the ProView includes highly advanced and fully automatic functions for 2D and 3D topographic analyses of the end face surface. The software automatical-ly indicates the angle, flatness and slope direction of the end face.

To simplify the inspection process even further the ProView can be set to a “PASS/FAIL” mode. This function allows the operator to simply determine the end face quality via colour codes on the image. In addition to cleave angle inspection the ProView can also be used to measure several other properties such as fiber diameters and distance between defined points etc.

The ProView has a unique fiber clamping mechanism which can accommo-date standard fiber holders from Fitel or Fujikura but also allows the use of bare fibers. Custom made clamps or adapters can be offered on request. The ProView is delivered with a universal sized v-groove clamp assembly.

The ProView has a compact design which makes it ideal for a production bench and to be used side-by-side with fusion splicers, cleavers and other preparation tools. The ProView is connected and powered via an USB 3.0 cable and hosted by an external PC (not included).
