Confocal Thickness Measurement
The Confocal Thickness Measurement Series offers ultra-precise thickness inspection
Benefits and Features
Dual-Opposing Confocal Thickness Measurements
Dual-opposing sensors are used for high-precision thickness measurements of films, foils, thin glass, filters, and fabrics.
Versatile Designs Accommodate Small Parts to Large Sheets
Capable of handling materials up to 1 M x 500 mm and executing rapid scans across multiple positions, the systems are suitable for various industries, including electronics, medical devices, and filtration products.
Dual Keyence Sensor Technology
Bold Laser Automation has extensive experience in integrating dual-opposing laser sensors to ensure precise thickness measurements, including non-contact measurements.
System Highlight: 3DS1430 Series
The 3DS1430 Confocal Thickness Measurement System is a modular scanning and inspection system, delivering unmatched closed-loop accuracy and real-time data insights.
Handles materials of 1M x 500 mm, executing rapid scans across multiple positions, and designed for ±1 µm measurement accuracy depending on CL sensor selection.
Housed in a safety enclosure with seismic mounts, the system is designed to minimize vibration and ensure stability.
