A manufacturer of a clear polymer used to make food wrapping material is using white light confocal probing to measure the thickness of the material as it’s being made.
Continue readingOne of Acuity’s existing customers wanted to be able to measure the thickness of a clear and semi-transparent film online. By using the white light confocal chromatic CL4 MG35 probe on a CCS Prima controller, the customer was able to hold +/- 0.6 microns of thickness accuracy.
Continue readingIn the production of silicon wafers, manufacturers are particularly concerned with bow, warp and overall flatness of the substrates. Wafer manufacturers use confocal sensors in their custom inspection systems to precisely measure the 2D flatness profile of each wafer.
