Overview

Compared with common optical sensors, confocal chromatic sensors offer numerous advantages in terms of speed, accuracy and target variance. These advantages become evident where increased measurement performance is required to ensure high level production efficiency. Especially when measuring on reflecting and shiny targets, confocal chromatic sensors provide high accuracy at maximum measuring rates.

These sensors can be used for displacement and thickness measurements in industrial environments as well as in vacuum environments when submicron accuracy is required.

During this 30-minute webinar you will learn everything about our confocal-chromatic sensors, from how they work, what they do to where they are used. A Q&A will follow after the main webinar, giving you a chance to ask any questions around the subject.

Animations and graphics will show detailed application examples and offer important tips. Additional resources such as whitepaper and slideshows with further details are provided by Micro-Epsilon.
