How to Reach Unrivaled Precision in Distance and Thickness Measurements with Confocal Sensors
Confocal chromatic measuring systems are increasingly used for fast distance and thickness measurements. Different sensor and controller models open versatile fields of application, e.g. in the semiconductor industry, glass industry, medical engineering and plastics production.
The unique optical confocalDT measurement system from
Micro-Epsilon is based on the optical measuring principle, which specifically
takes advantage of the so-called chromatic aberration of light. This refers to
the different refraction of light in relation to its wavelengths. It measures
distances by means of wavelength (spectrometry).
