 Measuring principle and fields of application
confocalDT

The confocal chromatic measuring principle

Polychromatic white light is focused onto the target surface by a
multilens optical system. The special lens arrangeent splits the
white light into monochromatic wavelengths by controlled chromatic
aberration. To each wavelength, a specific distance is assigned by
factory calibration. Only the wavelength which is exactly focused on the
target is used for the measurement. An optical arrangement images
the light reflected onto a light sensitive sensor element. This sensor
element detects the corresponding spectral color and evaluates it.
In the case of multi-peak measurements, several distance points are
evaluated accordingly.

High measuring rate for dynamic measurement tasks
The confocalDT systems offer high measuring rates for measurement
tasks with high dynamics. The controller dynamically regulates the
exposure of the CCD line. This exposure control compensates for
color and reflectivity changes of the measuring object in order to
increase the measurement accuracy at high measuring rates.

Video signal display Measurement chart Presets for fast setting

Ease of use via web interface

Set up and configuration of controller and sensors is handled in a user-friendly web interface
via Ethernet connection. No additional software is required. For thickness measurements,
materials are stored in an editable materials database.

 Absolute distance measurement
confocalDT

High-precision displacement and distance measurements

on almost all types of surface
The confocal sensor systems from Micro-Epsilon are used for high-
resolution displacement and distance measurements. Due to the
innovative technology, measurements can be performed on both
diffuse and specular surfaces with high stability. The high measuring
rate also allows for high speed processes to be monitored reliably.

Distance measurement on transparent objects

High-precision distance measurement is required for
contour measurement or positioning of glass lenses. The
confocalDT sensors detect curved surfaces with a resolution
of up to 18 nm. Thanks to their high measuring rate, the
transparent targets can be measured at high speed.

High precision distance control

In 3D printing of complex components as well as in PCB printing,
precise positioning with submicrometer accuracy is essential. Here,
confocal sensors are used. These detect the distance with the highest
precision and at the same time a high measuring rate in order to be
able to monitor even dynamic processes.

Mounting adapter for fine adjustment

To achieve orthogonal alignment of the sensor for high-precision
distance measurements, a mounting adapter is available for fine
adjustment.

The adjustable JMA mounting adapter simplifies the alignment and

fine adjustment of confocal sensors. The sensors are integrated and
aligned directly in the machine together with the adapter. This corrects,
e.g, minor deviations caused by mounting and compensates for tilted
measuring objects. With two-sided thickness measurements, the
JMA-Thickness mounting adapter supports the fine alignment of the
two measuring points.

IF2001/USB converter RS422 to USB

The RS422/USB converter converts the digital signals of a confocal controller into a USB
data packet. The sensor and the converter are connected via the RS422 interface of the
converter. Data output is done via USB interface. The converter loops through further
signals and functions such as laser on/off, switch signals and function output. The
connected controllers and the converter can be programmed through software.

Special features
ƒ Robust aluminum housing
ƒ Easy sensor connection via screw terminals (plug and play)
ƒ Conversion from RS422 to USB
ƒ Supports baud rates from 9.6 kBaud to 12 MBaud RS422 USB

IF2004/USB: 4-channel converter from RS422 to USB

The RS422/USB converter is used for transforming digital signals of up to four confocal
controllers into USB data signals. The converter has four trigger inputs and a trigger output
for connecting additional converters. Data is output via an USB interface. The connected
controllers and the converter can be programmed through software. The COM interfaces
can be used individually and can be switched.

IF2008/ETH
IF2008/ETH Interface module for Ethernet connection
with up to 8 sensors
The IF2008/ETH integrates up to eight sensors and/or encoders with an RS422 interface
into an Ethernet network. Four programmable switching in-/outputs (TTL and HTL logic)
are available.

10 indicator LEDs directly on the module show both the channel and the device status.
In addition, acquisition and output of data via Ethernet is in addition performed at high
speeds up to 200 kHz. Parameter setting of the interface module can be easily done via
the web interface. 8 x RS422 1 x EtherNet

IF2008PCIe / IF2008E
Interface card for synchronous data acquisition
Absolute synchronous data acquisition is a decisive factor for the deflection or straightness
measurement using several controllers. The IF2008PCIe interface card is designed for
installation in PCs and enables the synchronous acquisition of four digital sensor signals
and two encoders. The data is stored in a FIFO memory in order to enable resource-saving
processing in blocks in the PC. The IF2008E expansion board enables to detect in addition
two digital controller signals, two analog controller signals and eight I/O signals.

Special features
ƒ IF2008PCIe - Basic printed circuit board: 4 digital signals and 2 encoders
ƒ IF2008E - Expansion board: 2x digital signals, 2x analog signals and 8x I/O signals Interface card

IF2035
Interface module for Industrial Ethernet connection
The IF2035 interface modules are designed for easy connection of Micro-Epsilon sensors
to Ethernet-based fieldbuses. The IF2035 is compatible with sensors that output data via
an RS422 or RS485 interface and supports the common Industrial Ethernet protocols
EtherCAT, PROFINET and EtherNet/IP.

These modules operate on the sensor side with up to 4 MBd and have two network
connections for different network topologies. In addition, the IF2035-EtherCAT offers a
4-fold oversampling function, which enables faster measurements than the bus cycle PROFINET
allows, if required. Installation in control cabinets is via a DIN rail.
