uCore
uCore is the standalone version of the radarequipped sensors found in uSense and uSense LITE product lines. Designed for maximum versatility,
uCore is meant for OEM whose main concern are
integration of sensors alongside existing nondestructive testing solutions, quality control
equipment and analysis software all the while
keeping a low acquisition cost.

FAQ
What are the technical specifications of your equipment?
Optikan sells a variety of different products with different technical specifications depending on our customers’ needs. However, they typically share the same core technology which is based on FMCW radars operating at frequency ranging from 57 GHz to 328.5 GHz; The main characteristics of these products are:
- An average emitted optical power up to 5 dBm or ~3 mW per radar chip;
- A typical digital resolution of 1 mm;
- An acquisition rate between 60 Hz and 3000 Hz.
For more information, the complete technical datasheet for each of our products is available for free to download on their respective page.
Is calibration required before use?
As with any measurement device, calibration is necessary before use. However, depending on the device, the process may differ:
- On the uSense and uSkan, no calibration is necessary, as they are automatically performed on the reference plate prior to any scan;
- On the uSense LITE, calibration must be performed manually after turning it on.
-
Please note: due to thermal equilibrium delay, it is recommended to wait 15 minutes after turning the device on before doing the calibration and using it for measurements.
What hardware or software requirements are needed?
A computer or tactile tablet is required to monitor each of our devices, which may be provided by Optikan as an option. Depending on the device, either a USB-C port of Ethernet port with Gigabit Ethernet capability is required.
Our software is currently available for Windows 11 machines on all our devices, although certain Linux distributions may be supported on the uSkan.
For more information, please check out the technical datasheet of each product on their respective page.
