Optoncdt 2300

The optoNCDT LL laser sensors produce an oval-shaped light spot of just a few millimeters in width which reminds of a short "laser line" (LL). This oval light spot compensates for inhomogeneous surface structures and the so-called "speckling" effect which particularly occurs with metallic surfaces. Combined with special software algorithms, interferences caused by surface roughness, defects, indentations or holes are filtered out. This enables stable and precise measurement results.

The confocalDT 2421 and 2422 controllers are used for distance and thickness measurements of diffuse reflecting and specular surfaces. Available as either a single- or a dual-channel version, these confocal chromatic measuring systems offer a low cost solution especially for series applications. The active exposure regulation feature in the CCD array enables accurate, fast surface compensation on changing surfaces. This controller is compatible with all sensor types of the IFS series covering numerous measurement tasks. The controller is optionally available as a multi-peak version for multi-layer thickness measurements. Using a special calculation function, the confocalDT 2422 dual-channel version evaluates both channels. Measurement acquisition is synchronous and can be carried out while exploiting the full measuring rate for both channels.

TIM thermal imaging cameras are designed for non-contact measurement of surface temperatures from -20 °C to 1900 °C. They enable efficient monitoring and control of temperature-critical processes both with low temperatures (e.g. in cooling chains) and with very high temperatures (e.g. in glass and metal processing). Their high thermal sensitivity makes these infrared cameras ideally suitable for precise and dynamic tasks. Different performance classes enable a suitable model to be selected for every application. The camera is connected via a USB interface, which also supplies the power.

The optoNCDT BL models are equipped with a blue laser diode and are used when standard sensors with a red laser diode are operating at their performance limits. Due to its shorter wavelength, the blue laser does not penetrate the target surface, projecting a small light spot on the surface and therefore providing stable and precise results. As Blue Laser sensors are equipped with a special filter, they are insensitive to highly emitting objects such as glowing metals. Blue Laser sensors are preferably used with measurements on organic and (semi-)transparent objects, as well as for red-hot glowing metals.
