Optics measurement of distance and thickness - CHRocodile M4
Project description:
System CHRocodile M4
The principle of non-contact measurement of distance and thickness using the system CHRocodile M4
Record of the distance measurement
The chromatic coded principle utilises the chromatic length aberation of specialised lens to measure distance and transparent layer thickness. Due to the independente of surface properties merely all materials can be measured by the sensor. The measurement range of the sensor stretches from some micrometers up to millimeters with corresponding resolution. The passive sensor probe is connected via an optical fiber to ensure the operation in problematic or hazardous environment like strong electromagnetic fields, vacuum or explosive areas.
Hardware and software have been adapted for our needs.
