Offering excellent measurement quality for a range of challenging surface contours and material types, the PRECITEC optical sensors are a versatile white light laser inspection solution for a huge number of industrial applications including roughness and layer thickness measurements.
 
Adding a non-contact sensor option to the tactile probing and scanning functionality of coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), PRECITEC optical sensors can be automatically exchanged with tactile probes as part of a multisensor setup for a more complete measurement solution.

The highly-accurate PRECITEC optical sensors use focused white light to take measurements on even the most complex surfaces, including matte, reflective and coated surfaces, plastics, glass and other transparent materials. 

When tactile measuring technology reaches its limits, optical sensors can take over. Optimised for use with the ultra-precision Leitz PMM-C or Leitz Infinity CMMs, the PRECITEC optical sensor is particularly accurate at the submicron level. With a large acceptance angle, this sensor is ideally suited to inspecting heavily-inclined surfaces and the non-contact measurement method is perfect for fragile parts.
  • Features & Benefits
    Effective on many surface types
    The PRECITEC optical sensor provide ultra-precision measurement results independent of the type of surface, enabling inspection of dispersive, reflective, oblique, curved and aspherical surfaces.

    High axial resolution 
    Excellent longitudinal resolution ensures good quality measurement of complex structures and freeform workpieces.

    Non-contact inspection method
    Touch-free measurement allows the inspection of sensitive and soft materials with no risk of scratching or damage to the workpiece surface.

    Supports full measurement range
    The measuring range of the PRECITEC optical sensor corresponds to the measuring range of the CMM, giving it the ability to measure even very large and heavy parts.

    Multisensor integration
    With no differences in handling compared to a tactile sensor and automatic switches between the two methods possible within a measuring process, the PRECITEC sensor integrates seamlessly into the measurement setup.
