Additional Information

N/A Absolute distance measurement with nanometer resolution
The IMS5400-DS white light interferometer opens up new perspectives in industrial distance measurement. The controller has an intelligent evaluation feature and enables absolute measurements with nanometer accuracy at a relatively large offset distance. Compared to other absolute measuring optical systems, the IMS5400-DS offers an unsurpassed combination of accuracy, measuring range and offset distance.

Small light spot for the smallest of details and structures
The sensors generate a constantly small light spot over the entire measuring range. The light spot diameter is only 10 µm and allows the detection of small details such as structures on semiconductors and miniaturized electronic components.

Various interfaces for advanced automation
Integrated interfaces such as Ethernet, EtherCAT and RS422 as well as encoder connections, analog outputs, synchronization inputs and digital I/Os enable the connection to modern control systems and production programs.

Absolute measurement of step profiles
Unlike conventional interferometers, the IMS5400-DS also enables the measurement of step profiles. Thanks to the absolute measurement, the scanning is performed with high signal stability and precision. When measuring on moving objects, the differences in height of heels, steps and depressions can thus be reliably detected.

Integration in industrial environments
Robust sensors and a controller in a metal housing make the IMS5400-DS ideally suitable for integration into production lines. These compact sensors are extremely space saving and can also be integrated in confined spaces. The controller is installed in the control cabinet via DIN rail mounting and provides very stable measurement results due to active temperature compensation and passive cooling. Highly flexible fiber optic cables are available in lengths up to 20 m and allow a spatial separation of sensor and controller. Unlike other conventional interferometers, initial operations and parameter set up are easy and user-friendly via a web interface. No software installation is required.
