uFrame
uFrame is the standalone version of the radar-equipped sensors found in uSkan product line. Most notably, uSkan is designed from a multitude of uFrame modules daisy-chained together. Therefore, while uCore cannot provide the same imaging resolution as a uSkan, it can take measurements at twelve distinct positions at the same speed of 3000 Hz at a fraction of the cost.
Like its single-sensor counterpart uCore, uFrame is designed for maximum versatility for OEM whose main concern is about compacity and integration of a diverse ecosystem of quality control equipment that are based on distinct technologies, 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.
