The CCS Initial Confocal Sensors

The CCS Initial Confocal Sensors are extremely precise point sensors for measuring displacement and thickness. Each system includes a controller unit, a fibre optic cable, an optical measuring probe and all necessary cables & software. These sensors measure distance and topography of varied targets, including silicon, polished metals, glass, contoured lenses, polymers, semiconductor masks and natural materials. The technology in these confocal sensors support nanometer-scale measurement resolutions.

The CCS Initial Confocal sensors are chosen for the most challenging displacement or thickness measuring applications. The sensor system automatically adjusts the brightness of the light source (LED lamp) for optimal signals on highly reflective targets.

Features

  • Five different measurement models that range from 0.4 to 12.0 mm and one miniaturised probe with a 90° beam path for measuring inside of narrow tubes.
  • Distance data is transmitted by the controller unit via USB or RS232 interfaces to PLC’s, PC computers or other system controllers.
  • Data may be synchronised with encoders or triggered with hardware signals through the controller’s TTL I/O.
  • A special thickness mode enables the sensor to measure the thickness of transparent glasses, crystals and polymers using a single probe.
