NOVA Profile Inspection Module

Product information "NOVA Profile Inspection Module"

Profile Inspection Microscope Module for NOVA™ Polishing System

As an option for its NOVA™ automated polishing system, KrellTech offers video inspection systems to monitor the polishing process and inspect the polished surface directly in NOVA™.

KrellTech’s NOVA™ profile videoscope allows the real-time monitoring of component polishing. This videoscope aids with bare fiber/component positioning and confirms process completion. Teamed with measurement software, this system verifies the endface geometry of a broad range of photonics components, from optical fibers, waveguides and arrays all the way to inspecting the results of PIC (Photonic Integrated Circuits) post production processing

Applications: Inspecting and verifying the polishing process and the endface geometry of optical fibers, waveguides, arrays and PICs
