Optimal alignment of interferometers and confocal sensors

Optical sensors must be aligned as orthogonally as possible to achieve highly precise measurement results. In order to achieve the optimum alignment, several assembly cycles may well be necessary using conventional methods. A frequently necessary, subsequent position correction is not easily possible in this case, which means a high effort.

Correct sensor alignment is now much easier. The new adjustable JMA-xx mounting adapters from Micro-Epsilon offer a practical solution for mounting confocal sensors and interferometers from the confocalDT and interferoMETER series. The sensor position can be changed subsequently, allowing the sensors to be optimally positioned and achieving high measurement precision. This makes it much faster to mount and align the sensors with these adapters.

The adjustment mechanism for the screws is operated by a hexagon socket screw, which prevents accidental adjustment as is often the case with knurled screws. Due to the opposing arrangement of two adjustable mounting adapters, the sensors can be optimally aligned to each other even with two-sided thickness measurements.

The mounting adapter offers four essential advantages

Compensation of misalignment of the measured object
Correction of the mounting position of the sensor
Increase of the measuring accuracy
Only one mounting cycle necessary
