When high speed meets nano-resolution !

With their high dynamic range, all CHRocodile sensors are optimized for performance and precision in production and laboratory settings.

Operating with both the chromatic confocal and interferometric principles, in the visible and infrared spectral range, they have been tried and tested throughout numerous industried. CHRocodile sensors are currently implemented for various types of quality control in measuring systems and inspection machines worldwide.

Based on the measurement procedures in use, the optical sensor provides the following advantages :

• Sampling rate: up to 70 kHz.

• Excellent signal to noise ration and a wide dynamic range. That means on surfaces with rapidly changing reflectance properties can be reliably measured with the same sampling rate.

• The object being measured can reflect either dispersively or secularly, absorb or even be transparent. The color of the surface is irrelevant.

• Low maintenance due to long-lasting LED light source.

• Automatic lighting control.

• The sensor can process up to 5 encoders signals.

• The sensor offers multiple trigger options.

• It has 2 analog outputs with 16 bits resolution.

• Data output via serial interface, Ethernet, and analog port.

• The robe is completely passive. It contains no electronic or moving parts. This guarantees a high measurement rate for this optical sensor. The probe is very robust and can even be used in difficult environmental conditions.

• The only connection between the probe and the sensor unit consists of an optical fiber which can be 20m long or more. The probe and sensor unit can thus be operated at a distance from each other.

• Due to the high Numerical Aperture of the probes the sensor accepts high surface tilt angle.

• Cap rail mount.
