5/15/01 - DORC’s latest addition to it’s fiberoptic test equipment line is the “ZX-1 Array PLUS” Zoom Interferometer. This unit has been specifically designed to measure the endface geometry of single ferrule, multi-fiber connectors, including but not limited to the MT, Mini-MT, MT-RJ, MPO, MPX and MTP®. Array connectors may be measured with or without their housings installed. The ZX-1 Array PLUS is unique in that it can also measure standard single-fiber, PC and APC connectors.

By using a Patented calibration technique and automated fringe "nulling", the ZX-1 Array PLUS can acquire and calculate the endface surface topography of both straight and angled array connectors relative to the axis of it’s guide pin holes. The ability to measure the endface in this absolute, rather than relative mode offers significant advantages over any other measurement technique.

The ZX-1 Array PLUS is a Zoom Interferometer based on a Patented variation of the Michelson design, and incorporating both broad and narrow band solid-state sources. This configuration coupled with fully automated XYZ motion allows the operator to look at any portion of the connector’s endface, over a wide range of magnifications in either inspection or interferometric modes. No other instrument can offer this much flexibility.
