Glossary: Measuring principle "Confocal chromatic" add to watchlist

confocalDT 2451/2471 are the latest high end controllers of the confocal chromatic measurement technology offered by Micro-Epsilon. The controller achieves measurement rates of 10kHz using a white light LED and 70kHz using a xenon light source due to a very good signal-to-noise ration. Due to a comfortably designed web interface the total sensor configuration can be effected avoiding any additional software. The data output is effected via Ethernet, EtherCAT, RS422 or analogue output. The confocalDT 2451/2471 are applied in challenging measurement tasks regarding the distance and thickness measurement.

Features

• One of the fastest confocal controllers worldwide

• Adjustable measuring rate up to 70kHz

• Very fast surface compensation due to exposure time regulation

• Configuration via Web-Interface

• Interface: Ethernet, EtherCAT, RS422, analogue

• Robust design with passive cooling

• Extremely small and constant spot size

• Nearly target independent - best accuracy against mirror and glass surface

• Nano-resolution

• One-sided thickness-measurement
