Fast. Smart. Durable. The new confocal sensor system.
ConfocalDT 2461 systems are used for complex distance and thickness measurements. The IFC2461 controller is equipped with enhanced, optimized optical components enabling measuring rates up to 25 kHz without having to use an external light source. The high light intensity enables reliable measurements on difficult surfaces, e.g. on matt black objects or for multi-layer thickness measurement of glass. The controller can be operated with any IFS sensor and is available as a standard version for distance measurements or as a multi- peak version for thickness measurements.

The active exposure regulation feature in the CCD array enables accurate, fast surface compensation on difficult changing surfaces during dynamic measurement processes. Thanks to a user-friendly web interface, the entire configuration can be carried out without using any additional software. Data output is via Ethernet, EtherCAT, RS422 or analog output.
