Highest precision in confocal chromatic displacement and thickness measurements
The confocalDT sensors product range stands for the highest precision and dynamics in confocal chromatic measurement technology. The sensors are used to solve a wide range of measurement tasks.
Largest sensor portfolio for precise measurements
The right sensor for every measurement task! Whether for confined installation spaces, for measurements on curved surfaces or for nanometre-precise measurements in the semiconductor industry: the confocalDT sensors are available in different series that impress in numerous applications.
Next-generation sensors
The confocalDT IFD2415 and IFD2410 are powerful confocal sensors with integrated controller. The space-saving IP65 housing enables quick integration as no optical fibre is required. The sensors are ideally suited for high-precision distance and thickness measurements. The IFD2415 can also be used for multi-layer thickness measurements of up to 5 layers. The active exposure time control allows stable measurements on varying surfaces, even with dynamic processes of up to 25 kHz.
High resolution and speed: distance and thickness measurements with more precision
The confocalDT sensors provide an excellent signal-to-noise ratio enabling fast measurements at high accuracy. Thanks to their fast surface compensation, these sensors achieve extraordinary signal stability with varying surfaces.
Use in a vacuum
The confocalDT sensors consist of passive components and do not emit any heat. Particularly for use in vacuum applications, Micro-Epsilon offers sensors, cables and accessories which are suitable for the respective specification (clean room, vacuum ultra-high vacuum UHV). Vacuum-compatible sensors are available with various measuring ranges and either axial or radial beam paths.
Powerful on all surfaces
Ease of use via web interface
Due to a user-friendly web interface, no additional software is necessary to configure the controller and the sensors. The web interface can be accessed via Ethernet and provides set up and configuration options. For thickness measurements, materials are stored in an expandable materials database.
