humiditylaboratoryfor medical devices

Overview
LightMaster is a modular chromatic confocal multi-channel controller for STIL sensor heads. Available in two versions (LIGHTMASTER-S and LIGHTMASTER-F), it supports from 12 to 48 simultaneous measurement channels via Lightslot modules. The unit is a 19-inch 3U rack with Ethernet (GigE) digital I/O for PC or PLC integration.

Key benefits

• Chromatic confocal measurement of reflective materials (metal, glass, plastics, coatings, liquids)
• Non-contact sensing for applications requiring no physical contact with the target
• Universal compatibility with interchangeable STIL optical heads (CL-MG, OP, ENDO, EVEREST, etc.)
• Simultaneous synchronization of up to 48 channels for parallel inspection
• SDK and protocol commands provided for system integration
• Encoder-synchronized acquisition for dynamic measurements
• Ethernet (GigE) digital output for high-speed data transfer
