DORC ZX-1 mini PMS+ PRO package including, ZX -1 micro PMS+
Interferometer, ZXP C, ZXAF, ZXRFID, ZXFAST & ZXINSPECT options and
1.25-WT and REF1.25PMSRFID
• Fast measurement – <1.3 seconds (depending on
model, excluding focus).
• “Auto Sense” technology, initiates a
measurement automatically as soon as the
connector is inserted.
• Simple operation – centering, focus and initiating
the scan itself can all be completely automatic.
• Calibration is held on the instrument itself,
eliminating the need to keep the interferometer
and PC as a matched pair.
• Software backup, calibration and an image of the
PC itself (if supplied), are all stored on the
instrument itself, in non-volatile memory –
making lost disks, viruses, deleted files,
corrupted Windows and PC failures easy to fix.
• System design lends itself to integration in
automated production lines.
• Manufactured by a vendor that has sold more
automated connector measuring
interferometers than all other vendors
combined.
• Complete system ships in a single 16”x16”x20”
box when configured with a laptop or tablet PC.
• 1 Year Warranty included.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
The Z stage will back itself away from the front panel automatically when a “Connect ID” enabled chuck
removal tool approaches the system. This removes the possibility of damaging the interferometers primary
optical window when removing or installing chucks. This feature requires the autofocus option to work!!
Chucks that are “Connect ID” enabled transfer information about their capabilities to the ZX-1 micro PMS+
automatically, as soon as they are installed. This allows the system to become “context sensitive” to its
configuration. For example, if a single fiber chuck is installed on a ZX-1 micro Array+, it can automatically
change to single fiber mode and all software menus will become truncated to include features only
applicable to single fiber measurements.
A variety of standard and custom ferrule diameter chucks are available to support all types of single fiber
connector diameters and even bare fibers. Only one screw is used to secure a chuck to the interferometer
and changing chucks can be accomplished in just seconds - with less than 30 seconds required overall,
INCLUDING the apex offset calibration.
Once a connector is measured, all results are automatically saved in the industry standard Microsoft Excel®
format. The operator has a wide variety of display, printing and saving options for both measurement
“History” and “Quality Control “reports. The Patented design provides the ability to simultaneously provide
3D geometry, 2D microscope image and automated scratch analysis of the connector under test - removing
the requirement for separate instruments to provide this additional functionality.
The ZX-1 micro PMS+ stores all calibration, the PMS (Phase Measuring System) software and even a
complete image of the system controller’s hard drive (if supplied), on the instrument itself. This not only
makes the system PC independent, but also means that the system can recover itself from virus attacks,
Windows file corruption, deleted files, malicious employees and potential PC failures in just minutes. The
system also has a “factory restore” capability, returning the unit to its shipped state at the press of a
button. Add to this the fact that software updates can be downloaded directly from our web site and there
is NO scheduled maintenance whatsoever, and you end up with a maintenance technicians “dream
machine”.
It’s important to remember that DORC only manufactures interferometers for measuring the end face
geometry of fiber optic connectors. It is our focus and our passion, and we do not find ourselves distracted
by unrelated product lines. In many ways this fact is reflected by our success over the past 21 years –
DORC has sold more automated connector measuring interferometers than ALL other manufacturers
combined.
