Easy Integration

The FOCUS PX bumpers can be easily removed to access four screw holes for mounting the unit directly onto a scanner or inspection system.

Simple Cabling

Multiple FOCUS PX units can be synchronized with each other through a simple cable configuration. This allows all I/O signals to be received by one unit, reducing cabling and greatly simplifying the overall integration.

Easy Mounting

Easy and quick installation allows the FOCUS PX to be positioned much closer to the probes, reducing cabling and optimizing signal quality.

Four screw holes are available for mounting the unit directly onto any inspection scanner.
