The precise, non-contact measurement of medical devices can be made with a single probe by the optical sensors Chrocodile E, X or IT from Armstrong Optical, UK representatives of Precitec Optronik.
Most shapes can be measured because of the high numerical aperture of the probes and the sensor measures the shape as well as the thickness of the objects at up to 14,000 times a second.
The measurement spot diameter is only a few microns enabling the detection of small surface defects.
Subsequent calibrations are not necessary and the probes are unaffected by the measurement process, allowing for consistent and continual use.
The sensors can be integrated directly into the inline production process because of their high speed and the possibility to handle up to three encoder signals.
They are also readily incorporated into laboratory and offline-operation settings.
The Chrocodile provides safe, reliable and high-quality measurements.
Typical applications include product topgraphy, profile and thickness, multi-layer thickness and the measurement of fluid levels.
The Chrocodile sensors are used to measure biomedical sensors, stents, balloons, films, liquid layers and foils with accuracy and resolution.
