OPTIV Reference

High accuracy
The OPTIV Reference has air bearings on all axes and an incremental, optoelectronic length measuring system with a resolution in the nanometre range. Active vibration dampers are available as an option.

Throughput enhancements
The OPTIV Reference features the OPTIV Dual Z design to reduce setup and inspection times by mounting tactile and optical sensors on two independent vertical axes.  

Full range of multisensor capabilities
The OPTIV Reference is compatible with a full range of sensors to deliver high-speed measurement, accuracy and versatility, including a vision sensor with a high-resolution digital CMOS colour camera and a programmable 10x motorised zoom lens. Variable illumination enables the high-contrast illumination of complex surfaces and edges through the use of a coaxial LED top light, a telecentric LED back light and a multi-segment LED ring light. Further sensor options include a fixed focal length dual camera optics (OPTIV Dual Camera) with monochrome cameras and changeable telecentric lenses, a chromatic white light sensor (OPTIV CWS), the scanning probe HP-S-X1 with a styli changer rack HR-X with up to six ports and the motorised indexing probe head HH-A-T5. An air bearing CNC rotary table and air bearing CNC stacked rotary tables (OPTIV Dual Rotary¹) are also available as options that simplify accessibility to all measuring positions via workpiece rotation, avoiding multiple setups and fixturing of the part. 

Ease of use
PC-DMIS metrology software provides intuitively easy workflows that drive higher throughput and smarter data capture. Features include full range of scanning methods, comprehensive CAD support including automatic measurement routine creation and extensive offline programming capabilities. Inspect meanwhile makes it simple to select and execute routines for anyone seeking to protect measurement routine integrity. Inspect Slideshow, which is available as an option, helps production-level CMM operators to immediately realise and resolve manufacturing defects with graphical real-time feedback on custom key dimensions. And  Inspect Pallet provides a simple interface for configuring a pallet or measuring a batch of parts.

Data analysis
Q-DAS software delivers powerful statistical analysis of product and process data, including SPC and real-time visualisation of measurement data, measurement system analysis and process capability analysis.

Real-time monitoring for metrology environments
PULSE uses a network of sensors to help ensure measurement data integrity by notifying users of changes in temperature, humidity, vibration, air pressure and luminosity that might affect measurement results. This makes PULSE ideal for automated inspection setups ensuring high-volume measurements are performed in optimal conditions. PULSE seamlessly integrates with Hexagon’s Metrology Asset Manager. 

Manufacturing asset management 
The OPTIV Reference comes bundled with a one-year Metrology Asset Manager Advanced subscription. Hexagon’s Metrology Asset Manager provides real-time reports on the CMM’s performance, status and use, remotely or on-site, all from a user-friendly dashboard. 

Choice of measuring ranges
Two measuring ranges are available:

• OPTIV Reference 5.4.3 Dual Z: 530 x 400 x 300 mm
• OPTIV Reference 7.6.3 Dual Z: 730 x 600 x 300 mm
