Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about our products and services
It is a universal confocal-head family for distance and one-sided transparent thickness, with short and long spans and radial-beam versions.
No. It depends on model and span, and accuracy decreases towards the angle limit. Select for the actual target slope.
The table includes IFS2405-28/VAC(001) with a specific housing, environment suitability and IP40. Vacuum suitability must not be assigned to every head in the family.
Not as specified. Static resolution uses 2048-value averaging at 1 kHz at mid-range. Dynamic resolution is specified separately as RMS noise.
Add a compatible fiber for its FC socket and a suitable confocalDT controller. Thickness selection also requires minimum thickness, refractive index and working range.
