Sensor Module | Double
The sensor module allows for two sensors to be used in a fully automated way simultaneously. Two linear air
bearing axes position the sensors into the measurement range or retract into the garage. A classical sensor
combination especially for alignment turning is the chromatic confocal together with the 3DOF tactile sensor.
Alternative sensors can be installed and aligned. A control system integrated hood protects the sensors and
axes during machining and opens up for measurement only. The mechanical and electrical integration of the unit
is identical to the Sensor Module | Single.
Sensor Module | Single
The module allows for a fully automated sensor integration into IL series ultra-precision machine tools. An
ultra-precise linear air bearing axis drives the sensor into the measurement range or into the protective
position inside the garage. A control system integrated hood protects the sensor during machining and opens up
for measurement only. The module holds for the chromatic confocal, the tactile or the LVDT probe
alternatively. With a NanoGrip interface, the unit can be installed inside the machine within minutes at
highest geometrical repeatability. Electrical and signal connectivity is integrated into the machine slide for
best protection and compact set-up.
Sensor Module | Basic
The module holds and vertically positions a single sensor without automation. A protective cover can be
positioned to secure the sensor during machining but still to leave it perfectly aligned inside the machining
room. As standard configuration, the module comes with the chromatic confocal sensor for non-contact surface
scanning. Alternatively, a 3DOF tactile sensor or an inductive LVDT can be mounted to the platform. A
microscope camera for edge detection or dimensional metrology can be mounted. With a NanoGrip interface, the
unit can be installed inside the machine within minutes at highest geometrical repeatability.
