Micro-Epsilon
Confocal chromatic precision sensor
The confocal chromatic sensor 'IFS2407-1.5' expands Micro-Epsilon's 'confocalDT' sensor portfolio and is used for high-precision displacement and thickness measurement. The sensor has a measuring range of 1.5 mm with a base distance of 17 mm.
The precision sensor from Micro-Epsilon is particularly suitable for curved and structured surfaces. With a numerical aperture of 0.70, it achieves a high measuring angle of ±70° on diffuse surfaces. It is suitable for precision parts such as gear wheels, whose steep and shiny flanks are reproduced reliably and with high accuracy. This is particularly true in conjunction with the high-intensity confocal controller 'IFC2465HP', which, according to the manufacturer, enables the sensor to achieve excellent results thanks to automatic adjustment of the exposure time, high light intensity and fast measuring rate. Another area of application for the sensor is the measurement of lenses, as large measuring angles are required here, particularly at the edges. The sensor's light spot is only 5.5 µm in size and delivers a lateral resolution of <3 µm. According to the manufacturer, this enables stable measurement of the finest structures.
