Do you multisensor yet?

New to Multisensing?

It may not be obvious what a multisensor system is, how it is used, or what impact it can have on your manufacturing process. The benefits of multisensing are great and OGP's multisensor systems are the best, so you need to know. Let's learn more about how multisensing can work for you.

What is Multisensor Measurement?

Any measurement system uses at least one sensor technology. A sensor collects data points from a part to perform a measurement – it's the probe or detector that "senses" the part. Sensor technologies are contact or non-contact. A sensor that applies pressure to a part – like the familiar touch probe – is a contact sensor.

Non-contact sensors don't actually touch a part to measure it. For example, video measurement systems use cameras to image a part, and then measure the image. Laser scanners measure using optics and detectors to capture laser light reflected from a surface.

New micro-probing technologies, such as OGP Rainbow Probe™ and Feather Probe™, use innovative technologies to do new things. Combining any of these 3D measurement sensors on a single measurement machine – like most OGP SmartScope® systems – makes it a multisensor machine.
