3.6.1 Chromatic confocal distance measurement
Explanation of the measurement principle
1Light source
2Optical fiber
3Fiber coupler
4Measuring head
5Surface of the measuring object
6Analysis by spectrometer
The light source emits light. The emitted light is guided through the optical fiber and
a fiber coupler to the measuring head. The measuring head focuses light with a wide
spectral range onto the surface of the measuring object. The light reflected from the
measuring object is received by the measuring head on the reverse path and then
analyzed by the spectrometer. The wavelength for which the surface is in focus is
reflected to the maximum. The spectrum of the reflected light shows a distinct peak,
from whose spectral position the distance to the surface is determined.
Example applications
•Topography, profile and roughness measurement (e.g. for tool surfaces)
•Position and dimension determination (e.g. for microelectronic components)
•Topography measurement on injection molded parts
•Non-contact 3D measurement technology for endoprostheses

3Fiber coupler
4Measuring head
5Transparent material
6Analysis by spectrometer
The light source emits light. The emitted light is guided through the optical fiber and
a fiber coupler to the measuring head. The measuring head focuses light with a wide
spectral range onto the surface of the measuring object. The light reflected from the
measuring object is received by the measuring head on the reverse path and then
analyzed by the spectrometer. If a transparent material is within the measuring range,
two peaks appear in the spectrum of the reflected light. Each peak is due to reflection
from one of the interfaces of the coating. The spectral distance and the refraction index
of the coating material can be used to determine the coating thickness.
The coating thickness measurement of single coatings and the simultaneous measure‐
ment of different coatings in a coating system are possible.
Prerequisites for measurement
•The measured coating is transparent in the wavelength range used.
•In order for the two peaks to be distinguished in the spectrum, a minimum coating
thickness is required. The minimum coating thickness depends on the measuring
head used.
•Single coat: The two interfaces have a different refraction index.
•Coating system: The measured coatings have a different refraction index.

Example applications
•Coating thickness measurement of glass
•Coating thickness measurement of plastic coatings
•Coating thickness measurement of packaging films
•Measurement of transparent liquid coatings and liquid levels
3.7 Output of measured values
3.7.1 Free-running output of measured values
The device measures at regular intervals (free-running mode).
3.7.2 Triggered output of measured values
Trigger mode
In trigger mode, the measuring cycle is controlled externally. The device measures in
response to external events (triggers). For example, a scan system and the device can
be synchronized.
The external triggering is possible per measurement up to the measuring rate of 4000
Hz. Each of the trigger modes can be exited by a trigger command (CTN).
Trigger modes
•Trigger Once
•Trigger Each
•Window Trigger
Example
Triggers 1 to 6 are triggered externally. The result is returned after the exposure time.

exposure.
After trigger 2 is processed, trigger 3 is stored
and executed.
Trigger 5 is already stored, while trigger 6 is
triggered.
Trigger 6 is recorded. The results of trigger 5
and 6 are output in the correct order (PLC =
programmable logic controller).
3.8 Data transmission
During operation, the device continuously sends data packets via the data interfaces.
Interfaces for data transmission
•Ethernet interface
•RS422/RS232 (interface A)
