Titan Tool Supply introduces the Model FX-3, an industrial stereo microscope designed for a range of remote visual inspections in manufacturing and quality assurance. With precise optics and a variety of magnification options, the microscope aims to cater to diverse tasks such as PCB analysis and gemstone evaluation.

Global supplier of optical instruments and precision micro-machining tools, Titan Tool Supply, has announced the launch of the Model FX-3, a high quality industrial stereo wide field microscope designed to facilitate a variety of remote visual inspection tasks in manufacturing and quality assurance.

The Model FX-3 produces both upright and optically correct images. It offers exceptional measurement performance, an unusually long focal length and extended depth of field at lower magnifications. These combined features increase the end-user's efficiency when observing test items and provide clearer viewing during micro-manufacturing, assembly and other remote visual inspection tasks. The microscope excels at distortion-free viewing and effectively collects natural light for sharp images in most applications.

The standard model FX-3 has a built-in 1X objective and an extra wide field 10X eyepiece. All lenses are hard coated and include built-in colour correction for improved image quality. Optional objectives such as 0.5X, 1.5X and 2X can be purchased separately for different magnifications, as well as an optional 20X eyepiece and both 10X and 20X crosshair eyepieces. Together these provide up to six unique additional magnification options.

In addition, the lightweight (3.5 lb.) standard Model FX-3 microscope stand with aluminium base plate and vertical post provides added stability, durability, portability and ease of use. The rack and pinion focusing arrangement of the stand body allows adjustments up to 9.5 inches above the base plate for more precise focusing. The Model FX-3's binocular tube has a 45-degree inclination and is equipped with both diopter and variable interpupillary adjustments for more comfortable and customisable viewing.

This enhanced adaptability allows the Model FX-3 to adapt flexibly to a variety of work situations and manufacturing cell setups. The tripod can also be modified to mount special tripods on machine tools using 0.800" diameter tubing or drill rods.

The Model FX-3 is also offered with several optional lighting systems, including a 150 watt halogen fibre-optic illuminator, fibre-optic ring light, bifurcated fibre-optic light guide, fluorescent ring light and LED ring light.

The Model FX-3 Industrial Widefield Stereo Microscope supports a variety of quality control and remote visual inspection tasks in industrial, electronics, semiconductor, sensor and instrumentation, and photonics component manufacturing.

Specifically, the microscope can be used to support precision assembly and soldering of smaller or more delicate components, as well as micro-welding, micro-drilling and PCB analysis, helping end users to identify defects, soldering problems and component failures.

The FX-3 can also be used to support material surface inspection by helping to detect imperfections, scratches, cracks and other irregularities. It is also often specified for visual gemology and jewellery inspections, as well as gemstone grading, authenticity determinations, and flaw or inclusion identification.
