Ultra-compact, Lightweight Sensor Measures Any Material
The ZW confocal fiber displacement sensor delivers stable, non-contact, in-line measurement of heights, thicknesses and other dimensions. It solves the problems of traditional laser triangulation sensors: deviation between different material and inclination tolerance. The compact sensing head has no electronic parts to eliminate problems of installation space and mutual interference, electrical/magnetic noise, temperature rise and mechanical positioning.
- Minimum resolution: 0.01 µm
- Ultra-compact sensing head: 24 x 24 mm; weighs only 105 g
- High flexibility robotic cable from sensor to controller, extends 32 m
- Mount sensing head one time: no need to re-tune for changing materials
- Separate amplifier provides white LED light source, spectroscope and processor to convert reflected color light to distance
- Smart Monitor ZW Software simplifies setup and data collection/analysis

*1. Capacity value when Omron standard mirror surface target is measured at the measurement center distance as the average of 4,096 times.
*2. Material setting for the Omron standard mirror surface target: Error from an ideal straight line when measuring on mirror surface.
The reference values for linearity when targets to measure other than the above are as in the table below
*3. Capacity value defined by 1/e² (13.5%) of the center optical intensity in the measured area.
*4. Temperature characteristic at the measurement center distance when the sensor head and the target are fastened with an aluminum jig and the sensor head and the controller are set in the same temperature environment.
Figures in parentheses are converted value obtained by subtracting the effect of expansion or contraction of the aluminum jig itself.
