Thrubeam Optical Micrometer
1D Optical Micrometer
- Principle
- Green LED light is emitted as a uniform collimated beam. When a target breaks this beam a shadow is formed on the light receiving element, measuring this shadow gives us an accurate representation of the target.
| (A) Monitor CMOS | The Monitor CMOS tracks workpiece inclination to automatically correct for tilt errors. |
|---|---|
| (B) High-speed exposure CMOS | Proprietary designed measurement CMOS features an integrated amplifier to maximize performance and speed. |
| (C) Target Position CMOS | The CMOS measures the position between the transmitter and receiver |
| (D) High-intensity Green-LED | High-intensity Green LED lasts longer than traditional LED light sources while providing high intensity and evenly-distributed lighting. |
| (E) High performance condenser | Lens unit efficiently focuses LED light |
High-Speed Optical Micrometer
LS-9000 Series
Automatically corrects for target misalignment and vibration
Laser Scan Micrometer
A laser is emitted onto a spinning polygon mirror which traverses the beam throughout the sensors measurement range at a constant speed. Measurements such as the outer diameter are determined by measuring the amount of time the light is blocked from the receiver.

Dual telecentric silhouette-based system
The transmitter emits collimated lighting with a green LED to project a shadow on the CMOS sensor in the receiver.
Measurement is then performed using this captured image. The TM-X5000 Series includes telecentric lenses in both the transmitter and the receiver, ensuring stable, high-accuracy measurement.
