The Smart ConoProbe (Smart) is the high end version of Optimet's non-contact measurement point sensors. The Smart features high precision and smart capabilities in a small, low-weight sensor. Interchangeable objective lenses enable measurements of <1µm precision and objects of >180mm height with one sensor.

Specifications
The Smart has a "system on chip platform, where all data processing, including pre-programmed functions, are performed in the sensor head itself.
The exceptional features of the Smart include:
Measurement speed up to 3000Hz.
Light weight - 350g
Compact size - 62mmX85mmX94mm
Modular setup with interchangeable objective lenses enabling various standoffs and working ranges in one sensor.
Sub-micron precision with short focal length objectives.
Simultaneous measurement on highly reflective and diffusive surfaces.
Extensive angular coverage of over 170° width.
Measurement of hard to measure geometries, steep grooves and angles.
Co-linear technology, sharp angulated surface measurement capabilities (±85° from incidence), small laser spot size and fast scanning speed make the Smart an ideal replacement of standard contact mechanical probes for various industries.
The Smart withstands the most stringent electromagnetic and safety regulations imposed by the CE.
Modes of Operation and Communication
The Smart can be operated with both external or internal trigger modes.
The integration of the Smart software with the application software is fast and simple using ActiveX in GUI or GUI-less mode. It is possible to have multiple sensors integrated in a system, and work in parallel, using standard Ethernet LAN communication. The Smart also offers an optional analog output.
Profile and 3-D measurement with the Smart mounted on a scanning system in XY axes:
3-D measurement of machine tool holder
2-D profile of machine tool holder
3-D measurement of orthopedic screw
2-D profile of orthopedic screw
Gear Inspection
The high precision and angle coverage by the Smart permits the use of laser sensors in analytical gear measurement systems for measured index, helix, and involutes profiles.
Perpendicularity and concentricity relationships of gear bores to stamped sheet metal components, which need to be held to tight tolerances, can be done now much faster.
Burr Inspection
Plastic deformation during metal cutting, blanking or drilling, influence the accuracy of the part.
In the case of micro burr formed in micro drilling or in fine blanking, other methods can not be used for measurement due to the very thin and sharp edge of the burr, with less than 30µm height.
When the geometry of burr is measured properly, as can be done with the Smart, the proper deburring method or processes can be implemented.
Coins and medals
Accuracy and fidelity requirements measured on different materials are met by precise replication of shapes, angles and small features provided by the Smart .
Optimet offers a variety of objective
lenses, cables lengths and optical accessories enabling adaptation of its
sensors to a wide range of applications.
