Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about our products and services
It provides miniature 4 mm diameter heads with axial or radial beam paths for distance measurement in confined installation spaces.
The IFS2402 table explicitly excludes thickness measurement. Glass distance measurement requires glass thickness greater than the measuring range; metal measurement is also restricted.
No. Span is the net measuring travel; start of measuring range defines its initial distance. For /90 versions, the footnote measures that distance from the sensor axis.
The head includes a 2 m fiber with an E2000/APC connector and needs a compatible confocalDT controller. Minimum fiber bending radii are 30 mm static and 40 mm dynamic.
No. The table specifies front IP64 for certain axial versions and IP40 for /90 versions. Select by the complete model rather than one family-wide protection rating.
