DAISI

DAISI, DAISI-v2  (Digital Automated Interferometer for Surface Inspection) is the ultimate production interferometer with automatic focus, for all types of one-fiber connectors with PC and APC polish (LC, MU, SC, FC, ST, E2000, etc.), and also the connectors MT-RJ and bare fibers. The interferometer DAISI has automatic focus, a servomechanism for automatic calibration of offset, change of holders in case of change of measurements ferrule with PC polish on APC, and also the strong automatic mechanism of fixing of a tip in the instrument (it is possible to hold a cable a hand during measurements) isn't required.

Key features of Data-Pixel DAISI:

  • Single unit for measurement of PC and APC ferrules, connectors and bare fibers.
  • Non-contact measurement.
  • Fast autofocus.
  • One-button easy operation.
  • Servo-controlled reference mirror for automatic Apex calibration.
  • Strongest ferrule holder in the industry with automated open/close feature. Can perform measurements while handling the cable.
  • No exterior moving parts or adjustment screws.
  • No apex decalibration.
  • Vibration insensitive. Measurements can be made when holding the system by hand.
  • Easy and fast switching from PC to APC, no change of ferrule holder required.
  • Connector key adaptors for most connector types. Special design provides easy loading feature.
  • Interfaceable to laptop computers, only one USB2 link required.
  • White-Light scanning option for extended fiber height range.
