2. Laser Class
The following apply to the interferoMETER IMS5x00-xx measuring systems:
The measuring system works with a
-pilot laser of a wavelength of 635 nm (visible red) offering max. power of <0.01 mW and a
-measuring laser of a wavelength of 840 nm with a max. power of <0.2 mW.

3. Functional Principle, Technical Data
3.1 Short Description
The interferoMETER measuring system includes:
-IMP-DSxx or IMP-THxx sensor
-IMC5x00 controller
The sensor is completely passive as it contains no heat sources or moving parts. This prevents any heat-related expansion,
and ensures high precision of the measuring system.
The controller uses a spectrometer to convert any light signals that it receives from the sensor. It then calculates distance
values using the integrated signal processor (CPU) and transfers the data via its interfaces or the analog output.

3.2 Measuring Principle
Polychromatic white light is generated by an SLED. The light is coupled into an optical fiber. With a sensor for distance
measurement, the light of the fiber is separated by a beam splitter. Part of it radiates a firmly installed reference object.
The other part radiates the measurement object. The light reflected by both the reference and measurement object is
received by the sensor and conducted into the controller.
This is followed by the spectral decomposition and radiation of the detector. The light reflected by both the reference
object and the measurement object overlaps. The interferometric measuring principle (superposition of waves) is used.
Detection of distances and thicknesses is possible with amplification and elimination.
With a sensor for thickness measurement, the reference is omitted. This is why no distance measurement is possible.
iSensor and controller are one unit, as the sensor’s linearization table is stored in the controller.
This unique measuring system allows for highly precise measurement of targets. It is possible to measure both diffuse
and reflecting surfaces. For transparent layer materials, thickness measurements can be conducted in addition to dis-
tance measurements. Shadowing is avoided because sender and receiver are aligned along one axis.
The excellent resolution and the small beam spot diameter make it possible to measure surface structures. However,
measurement deviations may occur if the structure is of a similar size to the beam spot diameter or if the maximum tilt
angle is exceeded (e.g., with groove edges).

3.4 Operating Modes
The interferoMETER measuring system provides highly accurate measurements of
-distances against visually dense materials with light-diffusing or reflective surfaces
-thicknesses for transparent layer materials.
By selecting the sensor, the distance or thickness measurement operating mode is selected. Accordingly, the result of
the measurement is a distance or thickness value.
Distance measurements Thickness measurements
Measuring range 2.1 mm 35 µm 1 ... 1.4 mm
Fig. 4 Measuring ranges for distance and thickness measurements
The possible resolution here is in the nanometer range.
To get started quickly, it is recommended to use saved configurations (presets) for various target surfaces and applica-
tions, see Chap. 6.7.
1) Measuring range with n=1.5; for air gap measurement between two glass plates (n~1) the measuring range is
0.05 ... 2.1 mm. The measurement object must be within the working distance.
3.5 Sensors
The controller can be operated with up to 20 different sensors.
The required calibration tables are stored within the controller.
