XYZ Travel (mm)
Standard: 450 x 600 x 200
SmartScope® M50 is the next evolution of the worldwide standard in 3D multisensor metrology.
The patented IntelliCentric™-M Optical System features fully telecentric fixed lens optics and VIRTUAL ZOOM™ technology, paired with a high-density 20 MP digital metrology camera and a built-in electronic aperture, delivering an ultra-high-resolution image with low distortion – perfect for high-speed edge detection metrology.
Ultra-High-Resolution Images – All LED coaxial, substage profile, and SmartRing™ light illumination comes standard
Sturdy, Stable Construction – Fixed granite bridge and base rest on a sturdy steel support structure to provide a rigid, orthogonal structure for measurement stability
Multisensor Versatility – Optional TP-20 and TP-200 touch probes, SP-25 Scanning Probe, Feather Probe™, Through-the-Lens (TTL) Laser, Rainbow Probe™, TeleStar® Probe

- Accuracy is evaluated with a QVI compensation and verification procedure where “L” is measured length in millimeters. Specifications apply within the rated environment. Standard optical specifications apply at the highest magnification of the
standard configuration. XY Accuracy applies with an evenly distributed load up to 10 kg in the standard measuring plane. The standard measuring plane is defined as a plane that is within 25 mm of the worktable surface. Depending on load
distribution, accuracy at maximum payload may be less than standard. Factory and on-site verification of volumetric and enhanced Z accuracy specifications are quoted on request.
1. US Patent No. 12 052 501. Lenses can be manually interchanged to change magnification and working distance.
2. Based on width measurement of USAF resolution test chart in best focus at the highest magnification with profile illumination. For reference only.
3. Touch Probe can be fixed mounted or on motorized deployment mechanism. TeleStar and Rainbow Probes can be fixed mounted or on mechanical deployment mechanism. TTL Laser and TeleStar Probe not available together.
