Small LD Interferometer KIF-10A-UW is a low-cost, compact LD interferometer. This type has achieved compactness in a palm size and ease of operation. Just only putting a lens on the stage enables an easy and quick inspection.
Extra small size and ease of operation
Ultra-small type with a height of 185 mm (main unit). With this model located next to a processing machine on the shop floor, fix an appropriate adapter to a test lens on the stage, then just place the lens to perform inspection.
Smooth introduction to existing inline processes through the use of 635nm laser wavelength
Since the laser wavelength is close to that of the conventional Fizeau interferometer (632.8nm), equivalent interference fringe sensitivity can be obtained. This allows smooth introduction of this model to an existing inline inspection process.
Olympus' rich reference lens lineup
One-inch and compact-type specifications are used for reference lenses, with a wide choice of options similar to the KIF-202L series.

Interference fringe digitization kit KIF-FS10A is a system for displaying digitized aberrations from interference fringes of the interferometer inspection system KIF-10A series. |
Simple OK/NG judgment
The system can easily perform OK/NG judgment on the production line with the OK/NG judgment function in accordance with an arbitrary-set standard value.
Quick processing
Since processing is significantly quicker than that of the fringe analysis software using the scanning method, the system can perform interference fringe analysis almost in real time.
Low-cost system
This system can be configured at lower cost, compared with the fringe scanning type interferometer system.
Controllable in the manufacturing process
OK/NG judgment can easily be controlled in the manufacturing process thanks to the capability to save numerical data and print image data.
