Non-contact ≠ High Precision?
In recent years, non-contact measurement has been increasingly accepted and adopted by manufacturers due to its efficiency and speed, but the difficulty in achieving high measurement accuracy has always been a pain point in the industry.
Non-contact ≠ High Precision? No!
This laser scanning probe with a scanning error of only 1.8μm—SurfaceMeasure201FS (hereinafter referred to as 201FS)—can!
What is special about this 201FS? Let's quickly understand it through 3 questions!
Q: What is the accuracy of the 201FS probe?
The scanning error is only 1.8μm, achieving industry-leading high precision.
Q: What is the biggest difference between the 201FS and other laser probes?
Unlike linear laser scanning probes, the 201FS uses a flying spot laser irradiation method. The flying spot function makes measurement more convenient. Before measurement, no surface treatment of the workpiece is required, eliminating the time-consuming and labor-intensive task of spraying matte paint. During operation, it continuously detects the amount of light reflected from the laser through a photodiode in the receiver, adjusting the laser intensity in real time to reduce the impact of multiple reflections to a low level. Even in complex reflective environments, it achieves low-noise measurement, ensuring the accuracy of measurement results.
Q: Which industries' workpieces is the 201FS suitable for measuring?
The 201FS is suitable for measuring small-sized components with strict tolerance control requirements, such as stator coils, precision stamped parts, injection molds, and other precision components.
