Confocal sensors are increasingly used for fast distance and thickness measurements. Different sensor and controller models open versatile fields of application, e.g. in the semiconductor industry, glass industry, medical engineering and plastics production. 

As multi-sensor machines grow in popularity, so does their flexibility and the variety of optional sensors. One of the newest solutions of choice is confocal white light sensors for non-contact measurement.

High accuracy machine vision applications are dependent on the production of reproducible, high quality images, whether for inspection or measurement purposes.
