Product description
ZENITH is a chromatic confocal controller designed for industrial non-contact distance and thickness measurement. Based on standard Ethernet communication (GigE), it delivers high-resolution metrology when combined with STIL interchangeable optical heads and is engineered for continuous operation in production and laboratory environments. ZENITH supports surfaces of varying reflectivity (transparent to opaque) and provides acquisition rates up to 5000 Hz.

Benefits

• High dynamic range (15-bit) for improved measurement fidelity
• Industrial Ethernet (GigE) connectivity and RS422 digital output
• Up to five encoder inputs for CMM and motion integration
• Master/Slave synchronization and encoder trigger for multi-sensor setups
• Configuration via dedicated software or embedded web configurator
• Compatible with STIL optical heads (CL-MG / OP / ENDO / EVEREST series)
• Stores up to 20 calibration maps to match the selected probe
• Non-contact measurement across metals, glass, plastics, coatings and liquids

Applications

• Automotive glass inspection
• Glass containers and packaging industry
• Electric vehicle battery and component metrology
• Roll-to-roll thickness control for transparent and opaque films
• Electronics and PCB inspection
• Semiconductor wafer measurement
• Medical devices and microfluidics
• Micromechanics, watchmaking and precision engineering
• Aerospace and aviation components
• Robotics and automated production lines
