Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about our products and services
The table includes 2.5, 3 and 10 mm spans, axial/radial beam paths and particular VAC variants. Availability is configuration-specific, not identical at every span.
No. VAC versions specify IP40 and vacuum compatibility; certain standard versions specify front IP65. Retain those separate model-specific definitions.
No. Distance and thickness have separate linearity rows. Minimum target thickness also depends on span and is specified for n=1.5 glass.
It has an FC socket for a detachable fiber. Match fiber, controller and accessories to the head configuration, particularly vacuum conditions for VAC versions.
The table footnote references the radial version’s sensor axis. Use its configuration drawing instead of transferring the axial-head dimension.
