Two new confocal chromatic controllers for high-precision distance and thickness measurement expand the Micro-Epsilon product portfolio. The confocalDT IFC2411 is the world's smallest and most powerful controller with an adjustable measuring rate and the confocalDT IFC2416 is the fastest in its class, with a high measuring rate of up to 25 kHz and the ability to measure up to five layers with extreme precision.

The world's smallest controller: confocalDT IFC2411

The Micro-Epsilon confocalDT IFC2411 is a very compact and powerful controller, which is characterized by an adjustable measuring rate of up to 8 kHz and high precision. Due to its excellent price-performance ratio, the IFC2411 is ideal for numerous industrial measurement tasks and for use in OEM applications. A new feature is an Ethernet interface.

The controller is also equipped with a modern Industrial Ethernet interface, allowing settings to be automatically transferred to a PLC environment. Parameterization is carried out via a user-friendly web interface, eliminating the need for time-consuming settings in the programming environment. Users benefit from real-time data without time delay and can also reduce the installation effort.

The outstanding confocalDT IFC2416

The confocalDT IFC2416 controller is new to the portfolio and sets new standards as the fastest in its class. It combines an extremely high resolution of up to 2 nm with a high speed of up to 25 kHz. The measuring rate can be adapted to the respective requirements and can be selected in the range from 100 Hz to 25 kHz. The IFC2416 also enables thickness measurements of up to five layers, which makes it particularly suitable for applications with transparent materials. The active exposure time control of the CCD line allows fast and stable measurement on varying surfaces, even in dynamic processes.

Both controllers offer a powerful solution for modern automation applications. They can be combined with the entire portfolio of Micro-Epsilon confocal chromatic sensors. For use in industrial environments, the controllers are protected by a robust aluminum housing in accordance with IP40. The ambient light resistance is 30,000 lux. quick and easy installation in the control cabinet is possible via top-hat rail mounting.
