Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about our products and services
It is a high-precision confocal-head family with separate models spanning 0.1 to 6 mm. Light-spot diameter, linearity and measuring angle vary by model.
No. It is a footnoted value for IFS2407-1.5 on diffusely reflecting metallic surfaces. Its other specified angle is ±43°, and accuracy decreases towards the limits.
No. The 0.1 mm model columns have no thickness-linearity value. Do not substitute distance linearity or assign unsupported thickness performance.
Add a compatible fiber for the FC socket and a confocalDT controller. Evaluate rate and resolution for the combination and operating conditions, including any specified averaging.
No. The standard table specifies +5 to +70°C. A 200°C environment requires the dedicated HT/VAC family and its own specifications and accessories.
