Midwest Manufacturing News • March 2026 • OGP Announces Large Capacity SmartScope M130 M-Series

Optical Gaging Products (OGP) offers the newest addition to the next evolution of SmartScope 3D Multisensor Metrology systems: SmartScope M130.

“For leading manufacturers crafting large, heavy parts, SmartScope M130 ushers in the next generation of enhancements in image accuracy, optics, and throughput in a new large format 3D multisensor video measurement platform,” said a company spokesperson.

Tim Fantauzzo, VP North American Sales, remarked, “The SmartScope MSeries family has quickly been adopted by manufacturers seeking unrivaled confidence in repeatability and reliability. Larger parts obviously can contain many more detailed features. The M130 optical system is truly telecentric with no distortion, so manufacturers making large, heavy parts can achieve more accurate measurements particularly at low magnification with far more part features in the field of view.”

At the core of SmartScope M130 is the patented IntelliCentric-M Optical System, featuring fixed optics with a 20- megapixel camera and proprietary VIRTUAL ZOOM technology. Built from the ground up at OGP headquarters in Rochester, NY, the streamlined Intelli- Centric-M optics employ a variety of exclusive technologies allowing for instant magnification changes throughout the same zoom range as a traditional mechanical zoom system, resulting in faster runtime while requiring less downtime for maintenance.

SmartScope M130 is suited for manufacturers making large parts that require advanced throughput solutions. The IntelliCentric-M optical system, combined with advanced sensors, illumination, and accessories, offers class-leading optical measurement speeds, the company reported.

With a robust standard XYZ travel of 790 mm x 815 mm x 200 mm, optional 300 mm or 400 mm Z-axis, and payload capacity of 75 kg (165 lbs.), SmartScope M130 offers next-generation M-Series benefits to manufacturers producing large parts. A new innovative base design results in a lower stage height, allowing users to load and unload heavy parts or oversized fixtures with ease.

OGP President Steve Flynn said, “Since 1992, OGP SmartScope systems have helped thousands of manufacturers around the world achieve confidence in their quality programs. With SmartScope M130, we have applied the latest evolutions in optics and software in a larger format, creating the next generation of leading metrology solutions for manufacturers making large and heavy parts.

Flynn added, “M-Series systems take full advantage of the advanced edge detection algorithms, parallel processing, and routine optimization found in ZONE3 Metrology Software to deliver advanced throughput and enhanced accuracy for manufacturers in any industry.

We are excited for our customers producing large parts that have realized these benefits on their compact format M-Series systems, as well as new OGP users alike, to discover how SmartScope M130 will vastly improve their inspection operations.”
