- Scratch detection
- High resolution
- Industry standards
- Connects to tablet or laptop
The Glide MT is a robotic 2D microscope for inspection of multiple MT and single-fibre termini end faces in MIL-DTL-38999 connectors for scratches, defects, and contamination. With its XYZ motion system, the microscope moves from ferrule to ferrule in a programmed sequence, ensuring a fully automated, non-contact inspection process. Ideal for production lines, receiving inspection, and field use, the Glide MT ensures reliable quality control and troubleshooting.
Features:
Large inspection field
Covers up to a 27.8 mm inspection field via automated XY movement.
Support of both plugs and receptacles
Inspect both plugs and receptacles during connector production and field maintenance.
Automated multi-ferrule inspection
Robotic XYZ motion system enables fully automated inspection of multiple MT and termini end faces in MIL-DTL-38999 connectors.
Contact-free inspection
The ferrules remain intact during inspection.
Compliance & Integration
Standards-based testing
Perform inspections per IEC, Telcordia or custom Pass/Fail criteria.
Database connectivity
Centralise data from multiple sites and easily integrate Sumix equipment with your existing manufacturing systems.
