DAISI-MT (Digital Automated Interferometer for Surface Inspection of Multi-Fiber connectors) combines on the design and philosophy that made the DAISI a success, capable of measuring both single fiber and multi-fiber ferrules, designed for use in production and field applications.

Non-compressed, real time and high quality images are transferred from the hardware to the software via a USB2.0 high speed link at speeds up to 100 images per second in addition to the automation and control commands.
DAISI-MT is portable and can be interfaced to laptop or desktop computers.
All calibration steps are automated and embedded into a user-friendly software interface in order to yield error-free and reliable measurements.

Key features of Data-Pixel DAISI-MT:

  • Single unit for measurement of most types of Single-fiber and Multi-fiber ferrules (MT-X, MPO, Mini-MT (MT-RJ), etc.) PC and APC.
  • Measure up to 100 fibers in a single scan with DAISI-MT mega-pixel high resolution camera.
  • Combined White-Light and Red-Light phase-shifting interferometer.
  • Vibration insensitive. No specific isolation table required.
  • Closed-loop high precision 30 microns Z scanning range.
  • Non-contact measurement.
  • Rapid autofocus.
  • One button easy operation.
  • Servo-controlled reference mirror for automatic Apex calibration.
  • No exterior moving parts or adjustment screw -> No apex de-calibration.
  • Easy and fast switching from PC to APC, no change of ferrule holder required.
  • Connector key adapters for most connector types. Special design provides easy loading feature.
  • Fast and automated measurement of endface parameters as required by standards.
  • Accurate and repeatable measurements.
  • Interfaceable to laptop computers, only one USB2.0 link required.
  • Compliance with Industry Standards for Interferometer Measurements
  • High resolution 2D & 3D surface profiles
  • Measurement Report and History Report in Excel
