COMPANY HEADER
The confocalDT 2471 HS controllers are used for fast distance and thickness measurements of highly reflecting surfaces. The controllers are equipped with enhanced optical components enabling measuring rates up to 70kHz without having to use an external light source. The confocalDT HS controllers are considered one of the fastest confocal measurement systems in the world. The active exposure regulation feature in the CCD array enables accurate, fast surface compensation on difficult changing surfaces during dynamic measurement processes.
