Chromatic confocal sensor sometimes referred to as confocal displacement sensor or confocal distance sensor, is a type of optical sensor that uses confocal chromatic imaging to measure distances, thicknesses, or surface profiles with very high precision and non-contact operation. A confocal distance sensor operates based on the principle of chromatic confocal technology, where a white light source is passed through a multi-lens optical system (often a chromatically aberrated lens), which splits the light into different wavelengths, each focused at a different distance along the optical axis.
1. Demand for High-Precision Measurement
Industries like semiconductors, electronics, and medical devices require nanometer-level accuracy for quality control.
Example: Measuring wafer thickness in chip manufacturing or corneal thickness in ophthalmology.
2. Growth in Automation and Industry 4.0
Integration into automated production lines and robotics for real-time process monitoring. Critical for smart factories to reduce human intervention and ensure consistent output.
3. Stringent Quality Standards
Regulations in sectors like aerospace (e.g., FAA, EASA) and healthcare (e.g., FDA) mandate precise tolerances, driving adoption of reliable measurement tools.
4. Non-Contact Measurement Needs
Avoids surface damage on delicate materials (e.g., soft polymers, optical lenses) and enables measurement of transparent/reflective surfaces (e.g., glass, liquids).
5. Expansion into Emerging Applications
Additive manufacturing (3D printing layer inspection), electric vehicle battery production, and renewable energy (solar cell coating measurements).
6. Miniaturization of Components
Microelectronics and MEMS devices demand sensors capable of measuring tiny, complex geometries.
