2680 Preform Analyzer
- Preform Fabrication
Overview
The 2680 Preform Analyzer represents the new state-of-the-art for preform measurement technology. The upgraded optical system along with the new hybrid preform alignment process is capable of precisely measuring complex, high NA preforms, core rods and tubes up to 65 mm in diameter - at high speed. The hybrid alignment system enables all of this flexibility without the need for any additional setup between measurements, further decreasing the total measurement time. Combined with the Photon Kinetics Scripting Language (PKSL) software, the 2680 is the most versatile preform measurement system and can serve both R&D laboratories and production environments with no compromises.
