Video-based measurement is non-contact, and provides more

detailed data about your parts than single point contact systems.

The integration of precision optics, advanced electronics, powerful

software, and precise mechanics into our SmartScope and Avant

systems provides accurate three-dimensional coordinate

metrology of virtually any part. Highly accurate translation stages

and through-the-lens autofocus allow the coordinates of virtually

any feature on the part that can be seen to be quantified with

precision. And it’s fast!

OGP makes the world’s most popular video measurement systems. Today there’s an entire family of systems from

the high-speed SmartScope ZIP, to the large travel Smartscope ATS, to the extremely precise Smartscope Apex, to the latest

SmartScope Flash and SmartScope Flare personal metrology systems. The 10,000+ OGP systems in use worldwide help

companies like yours improve their quality. And reduce their costs.

features a massive granite substructure for

rigidity and low center of mass needed for

high speed use. Independent granite beams

provide guidance and support for the

measuring axes, ensuring negligible yaw, pitch,

and roll movements. Standard Avant ATS

systems offer X-stage travel of more than 0.75

meter (30"), with larger travel available.

Smartscope ATS

For the highest accuracy and resolution in a compact

video measuring system, look at the

the pinnacle of performance. Every aspect of Apex design

is optimized for the highest accuracy possible. Granite

is used extensively to take advantage of its thermal and

dimensional stability. A grayscale automation camera

provides superb sensitivity and high resolution. High

magnification objective lenses offer diffraction limited,

flat field imaging. New technology scales yield 0.1

micron (0.000004") resolution. Put it all together and

you have a system with uncompromising accuracy for

your most critical applications.

SmartScope Flare and Flash are

available in larger-travel floor

models, too.

OGP’s suite of metrology software makes it easy to get detailed coordinate measurements of your

parts. It’s simple to set up one part and then use the versatile step-and-repeat and copy functions to

make productive use of palletized fixtures — reducing time. And cost.

OGP’s video systems can measure virtually any part. The part can be any color, even transparent. OGP image

processing actually adjusts itself to each image. All pixel data is analyzed to determine the unique characteristics of

the edge, then image processing automatically sets critical processing parameters. It filters out noise, smooths the

edge, removes the influence of dirt, burrs and flash, and enhances even the weakest of edges. Accuracy is assured in

real world applications.

A wide range of part sizes can be measured. Whether the sample fits in the field of view or covers the entire stage, you

can zoom in to the smallest features and translate to other features, all the while maintaining the total dimensional

relationships. The addition of rotary tables and touch probes allows accurate measurement of features that are

orthogonal to one another. True multi-dimensional measurement is possible with an OGP system.

The power of an OGP video system is its ability to combine its full range of capabilities into a measurement routine to

fully characterize each of your parts. So any of your people can get accurate, repeatable results by simply running a

saved routine.

All our systems use metrology software designed and developed by OGP to provide powerful geometric analysis capabilities—while still being

easy to use. Depending on the model, MeasureMind® or Measure-X 32 bit metrology software is the control, analysis, and display interface for you r

automatically toggles between live video of the field-of-view in the ‘image’ window and the measurement results in the ‘model’ window. Select tools

from the ‘icon toolbox.’ Save setup routines for every part you measure and simply call them up when needed. Seamlessly output measurement data to

other programs in the metrology suite of analysis and reporting options. OGP’s metrology software makes it a pleasure to do precision measurements.

OGP products. CAD models of

SmartScope Flash and Flare

are shown here.

Many surfaces (such as glass, clear plastic, and

mirror-like finishes) create surface images of

extremely low contrast, making autofocus

difficult. The projects a confocal

pattern onto the surface of the part that is only in

focus when the surface is exactly coincident with

the focal plane of the optics. The autofocus

routine then uses the contrast contained in the

grid image just as if it were present in the surface

of the part. And since the autofocus algorithm is

finely tuned to the characteristics of the grid

image, repeatability is significantly improved.
