Automatic fibre inspection system

24 July 2013 Test & Measurement

Fujikura Europe introduced the FOCIS PRO family of automatic fibre inspection solutions. Providing network personnel with an automated solution for analysis and documentation of fibre connector cleanliness and integrity, the FOCIS PRO completely eliminates the subjective aspect of fibre inspection.

Designed for all inspection tasks, FOCIS PRO’s optical resolution and detection specifications exceed current international standards, and software-based applications are upgradeable, making the system future-proof.

The system consists of the DFD1 touch screen tablet, DFS1 Digital FibreScope, and the new SimpleView PRO software. The system is capable of centring a fibre image, identifying critical core, cladding, adhesive and contact zones, while detecting and categorising the types of defects found.

The software analyses a typical fibre in less than five seconds. Its ‘Zoom/Pan’ feature combined with a large, clear and robust display enables users to identify the smallest particles, scratches and imperfections.

Unique to FOCIS and FOCIS PRO products is the patent-pending paired image feature which allows users to make immediate fibre cleanliness comparisons. Users can capture and save up to 1000 fibre images, review images on-site, and share images via USB memory sticks or SD Flash cards. All basic FOCIS units can be upgraded to the functionality of FOCIS PRO.
