Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about our products and services
It measures a line-height profile using the confocal chromatic principle, with up to 2624 points per profile in the cited specification. A point head measures one location.
Successive profiles are combined during relative sensor/target motion. Motion/profile coordination is part of the system; this is not one snapshot image.
The manufacturer describes multiple interfaces in transparent and semitransparent materials, including thickness tasks. Match material, interface separation and measurement configuration.
The manufacturer describes onboard SMART analysis for measurement tasks. Other tasks require an appropriate data and software path.
The cited specification describes measurement data through GigE Vision and results through fieldbus/Ethernet. Match interface version and required data type.
No. In the CLI8500-7 table, 7 mm refers to the X axis along the measuring line. The Z-axis span is 2.1 mm, with a 14.85 mm start and 16.95 mm end. Keep line length, height range and working distance separate when selecting the series.
The manufacturer distinguishes PCR8500-x/OE-RJ45 multifunction cables, SCR8500X-x Ethernet cables and the ECR8500-5 power cable. Select them for the required signals, communication and routing length, adding mounting accessories as needed. The accessory list is not a mandatory list for every application.
