Selecting a Measurement Sensor

Thickness / Width

When selecting sensors to measure thickness or width, the first step is to choose a method. The target's material, color, and location will all play factors in which option is the best fit for your application. You can browse through the most common setups below, or request a free consultation with a local measurement expert.

Thickness is measured by passing a target between two sensors. A newly designed optical system and dedicated jig allow for ultra-stable thickness measurement that is resistant to changes in the ambient temperature. Usage in high-temperature environments is also possible.

Confocal Displacement Sensor

CL-3000 series

Opposing 2D profilers can scan multiple points of thickness over a part. This allows for stable thickness measurement even on rough surfaces.

2D/3D Laser Profiler

LJ-X8000 series

With two thrubeam micrometers installed on either side of a film, we can get a width measurement and give film position, regardless of color or material.

High-speed optical micrometer

LS-9000 series

2D thrubeam sensors can measure the step height between a roller and a sheet to get a thickness measurement. Additionally, A second sensor can be added to get a width measurement.

Telecentric Measurement System

TM-X5000 series

Measure transparent films and coatings with a single displacement sensor. Confocal sensors give an accurate thickness measurement from one side of transparent targets.

Confocal Displacement Sensor

CL-3000 series

Inspection is performed according to the height information obtained from scanning the surface profile of the target. Details such as the application thickness, height, width, and volume can be inspected at the same time. The first of its kind in the world, this product’s sensor head has a built-in scan mechanism, enabling inspection immediately after installation.

3D Laser Snapshot Sensor

LJ-S8000 series

Conventionally, a vision sensor was used for OK/NG judgment based on the area. Since the LJ-X8000 Series can measure the volume and position of paste application, it can reduce material costs and support higher component densities.

2D/3D Laser Profiler

LJ-X8000 series

The total film thickness is measured immediately after coating before the drying step and in similar situations. The CL Series lineup of sensor heads can be used in explosion-proof environments. The dedicated feedthrough (OP-88859) allows for installation with no need for large-scale housings.
