Jerusalem, Israel, October 2005 - Optimet introduces a flexible integration utilizing multiple Smart ConoProbe sensors in one system by way of a fast Ethernet link. By using a standard, off-the-shelf Ethernet hub, multiple SMART ConoProbe sensors can be configured to acquire data simultaneously at rates of up to 3000 HZ each. Using the active-x software interface of the Smart Conoprobe allows the user to control each sensor separately with the possibility of a different configuration for each sensor, thereby providing a simple, powerful solution for measuring complex surfaces, thicknesses, lengths, angles and radiuses.

The Smart ConoProbe is the newest generation of single point, non-contact sensors manufactured by Optimet. The Smart ConoProbe measures at a rate of 3000Hz with up to sub-micron precision on a variety of surfaces, such as machined metals and other relatively shiny objects regardless of the reflectivity of the surface. The Smart Conoprobe is capable of measuring angles close to grazing incidence with the "Forbidden Zone" extending only 5 degrees from normal incidence in all directions. The co-linearity of the Smart ConoProbe enables blind corner measurements possible by using bending optics.
