OGP (Optical Gaging Products), a pioneer in optical dimensional measurement, will showcase its latest innovations at IMTS 2026, held from September 14-19, 2026, at McCormick Place in Chicago. With the theme "Optically Based. Measuring More with Precision.", OGP will highlight its industry-leading optical expertise, technology, and innovation, which have spanned over eight decades.
✨ Optical Technology at the Heart of OGP Systems ✨
At the core of every OGP system lies advanced optical technology. From compact video measurement systems to sophisticated multi-sensor platforms, optics form the foundation of the OGP measurement experience. This provides manufacturers with the speed, repeatability, resolution, and measurement capability needed to confidently inspect more parts and features.
💡 Introducing the Next-Generation SmartScope E18 💡
Making its worldwide debut at IMTS, the SmartScope E18 is a high-capacity, fully automatic 3-axis video measurement system designed to maximize XY measurement range where space is at a premium. Its fixed-lens IntelliCentric-E optical system and VIRTUAL ZOOM™ technology provide high-resolution imaging for automated inspection, while offering the measurement capacity manufacturers need in a compact benchtop platform. With a 300 x 300 mm stage, the SmartScope E18 brings the capabilities demanded for automated video measurement into a compact and cost-effective platform. As with all E-Series systems, the SmartScope E18 comes standard with the easy-to-use Measure-X software. For applications requiring full 3D capability and other advanced software functions, OGP’s flagship ZONE3 software is now also available on all SmartScope E-Series systems.
🔬 More Optical Innovation, More Measurement Capability 🔬
OGP will also exhibit the StarLite™ S1, a semi-automatic 3-axis video measurement system featuring the new IntelliCentric-S optical system, VIRTUAL ZOOM technology, and advanced LED illumination. The SmartScope® M130, the newest member of the evolutionary SmartScope M-Series family, showcases OGP’s multi-sensor approach to dimensional measurement. It combines advanced optical technology with additional sensor capabilities, offering manufacturers the flexibility to inspect more features on a single system.
Visitors can also experience the best performance and highest accuracy offered on any SmartScope system: the SmartScope Quest. OGP’s SmartScope Quest™ 300 will demonstrate the most advanced multi-sensor measurement, ideal for complex 3D inspection applications.
For manufacturers requiring robust shop floor inspection, OGP will showcase its c-vision™ series, which combines advanced video measurement with the robust form factor of an optical comparator. For those demanding extreme throughput for feature-rich parts, OGP will demonstrate its Fusion large field-of-view multi-sensor systems, which offer high-speed multi-sensor measurements. Across the portfolio, the message remains consistent: the best optics available are at the heart of every OGP system.
📊 Measurement and Productivity Software 📊
OGP will also exhibit its software portfolio, including ZONE3® Metrology Software and EVOLVE™ Productivity Software. These software solutions will demonstrate how advanced measurement software can help manufacturers increase inspection throughput and transform measurement data into actionable information.
ZONE3 provides the programming and measurement environment behind OGP’s SmartScope systems, supporting automated multi-sensor inspection and efficient, repeatable measurement processes.
OGP’s EVOLVE productivity software portfolio extends the value of measurement beyond the inspection system. EVOLVE Design helps users work with CAD models and PMI, supporting GD&T proofing to ASME Y14.5 and ISO 1101 requirements. EVOLVE SPC offers statistical process control capabilities that help manufacturers monitor processes, identify trends, and make informed decisions.
Together, OGP hardware and software help manufacturers measure more, increase throughput, and achieve greater precision in their quality processes.
🎓 Inspiring Future Generations 🎓
OGP will also participate in the Smartforce Student Summit at IMTS, connecting with students and educators to demonstrate the critical role of precision measurement and metrology in advanced manufacturing.
By engaging with the next generation of manufacturing professionals, OGP helps illustrate how optics, automation, multi-sensor measurement, and software are shaping the future of quality.
📍 Experience OGP at IMTS 2026 📍
IMTS attendees are invited to visit the OGP booth, #134700 in the East Hall, to experience the latest innovations, see measurement systems in action, and speak with OGP experts about how to improve inspection capability and throughput.
From best-in-class SmartScope systems to the shop-floor-ready c-vision series, and ZONE3 and EVOLVE productivity software, OGP will demonstrate why it continues to be a leader in optical dimensional metrology.
