Optical Gaging Products Inc. (OGP) demonstrates its commitment to medical device manufacturers by offering its new Specialist dimensional measurement/inspection systems—the SmartScope Specialist 300 multi-sensor dimensional measurement system and the Focus Specialist 16 in. Horizontal Contour Projector.
These systems are designed to verify critical dimensions of orthopedic implants such as intervertebral disc spacers and artificial discs; the stem, ball and cup of prosthetic ball joints; tibial and femoral knee implants; and tibial and talar ankle implants; as well as syringe components and fluid flow components.
SmartScope Specialist 300 is an optical-based benchtop metrology system offering micron-level measurements within a generous 300 x 300 x 250 mm (12 x 12 x10 in.) XYZ measurement volume. Specialist 300 verifies critical dimensions of a wide range of medical parts. A measurement routine for one part is easily repeated for a batch of fixtured parts, providing throughput to support production requirements. It employs many technological innovations, such as its patented twin-Z elevating bridge for structural integrity. With its patented completely telecentric TeleStar motorized zoom optics, high-resolution grayscale camera, narrow-band green LED surface and profile illumination, and industry-leading image processing, SmartScope Specialist excels at non-contact, high speed video metrology.
Specialist 300 is also a versatile multi-sensor system. Measure prosthetic knees and hips mounted on the MTR rotary indexer to maneuver them into an optimal position for measurement with the SP25 continuous contact scanning probe—a rare capability for a benchtop metrology system, says OGP.
SmartScope Specialist 300 includes OGPs popular MeasureMind 3D MultiSensor metrology software that provides integrated multisensor control and functionality. MeasureMind software acquires and analyzes data from multiple sensors anywher within the systems measurement volume. Specialist 300 offers robust SmartFeature software that supports essential 21 CFR Part 11 regulatory requirements. Available SmartFit3D fitting software includes extensive tools for comparing measurements to CAD files. Optional software applications are also available to support 3D GD&T, and offline 3D CAD programming.
Focus Specialist is a premium benchtop optical comparator designed to meet the inspection and measurement needs of medical device manufacturers. Its completely telecentric optics yield upright and reversed images that are crystal-clear and undistorted. Its dedicated 5x lens allows 3.2 in. of a part to fill its evenly illuminated 16 in. (406 mm) diameter screen—more than could be seen on a 30 in. comparator using a 10x lens. With new eCAD, a CAD model presents a virtual chart on the Focus screen, essentially eliminating traditional overlay charts
The quality 5x lens and CAD-generated charts make Focus Specialist perfect for non-contact visual inspection/measurement of medical parts. The substantial mechanical structure features a sturdy mineral cast base for metrological stability and measurement integrity. The motorized nickel-plated worktable allows for automatic programmed operation, and provides 15 in. x 6 in. (380 x 150 mm) of XY travel, with 18 in. (450 mm) extended X travel available. Precision XY scale resolution is 1.0 µm (0.00004 in.), while OGP Projectron provides reliable internal automatic edge detection.
The included OGP Q-Check multifunction DRO offers high-contrast dual backlit 2-line LCD displays showing X and Y positions, and measurement results.
