CCS Main Features

These compact, light-weight controllers are particularly well adapted to industrial environment.

They feature :

  • A LED light-source whose brightness may be adjusted by command (0 - 100%),
  • Synchronized reading of digital encoders and measured data,
  • RS232/RS432 and USB2,
  • Auto adaptive modes.
  • The CCS controllers are compatible with all optical pens.

An innovative modular design achieves up to 30 different optical pen configurations for specific depth of field, spot size, working distance, object slope and photometric efficiency. Choose from a selection of five magnifiers, ranging from 20mm to 210mm focal lengths, and six different chromatic lenses, 100µm to 24mm depth of fields. Pens can achieve maximum axial resolution of 0.005µm, accuracy to 0.02µm and max slope to 87º for diffusive objects.

Based on white light chromatic aberration, pens achieve superior lateral resolution (1.1µm) and vertical resolution (5nm); making it a better choice than laser triangulation for applications where high resolution measurements are critical, sometimes found in vibrometry, in-line inspection and quality control applications. It's especially useful in challenging materials such as: textiles, polymers, black or dark blue materials, high aspect ratio surfaces, and materials of low reflectivity.

Pens can be used in OEM applications or integrated in a comprehensive profilometry system. Acquisition speed to 30,000Hz, multiple control configurations, (PCI card, control unit, computer interface) and a comprehensive software package satisfy specific vibrometry, in-line and off-line quality control requirements.

ADVANTAGES MATERIALS/ APPLICATIONS

  • Confocal chromatic setup

  • Coaxial, no shadowing

  • Modular design: choice of depth of field, local slope on glossy objects and spot size.

  • Maximum slope to 87º on diffusive objects

  • Passive operation - no moving parts means no heat dissipation

  • Suitable for a wide range of applications, materials

  • Rough or Polished Surfaces
  • Diffusing or Reflective Objects
  • Metal, Glass, Ceramics, Leather, Wood or Paper
  • Plastic Parts, Transparent or Opaque
  • Coatings, Paints and Varnishes
