Product overviewCCS series controllers enable non-contact chromatic confocal distance and thickness measurement with sub-micron accuracy on a wide range of surfaces and materials, including reflective substrates and transparent films. A single CCS controller with a STIL high-precision sensor head can measure glass or film thickness by two-peak processing. Measurement rates range from 100 Hz up to 10 kHz depending on model, supporting both industrial line integration and laboratory setups.
Benefits- Chromatic confocal measurement on materials that reflect white light (metals, glass, plastics, coatings, liquids).
- Non-contact operation to avoid damage or contamination of the target.
- Sub-micron measurement accuracy suitable for precision metrology.
- Interchangeable STIL optical heads: CL-MG, OP, ENDO, EVEREST series.
- Controller stores up to 20 calibration tables to manage different probes and setups.
- SDK and protocol commands available for integration into automation and inspection systems.
- Encoder-synchronized acquisition for dynamic measurements.
- Multiple communication interfaces: analog outputs, USB, RS232/422.
Applications- Automotive glass inspection and quality control.
- Glass containers and packaging production monitoring.
- Electric vehicle components and battery cover thickness measurement.
- Roll-to-roll and web process thickness control for transparent and opaque films (flexible electronics, battery films).
- Electronics and PCB metrology.
- Semiconductor wafer inspection (silicon metrology).
- Precision fields: medical devices, micromechanics, aerospace, watchmaking, robotics, and CCC industry applications.
Versions and integrationCCS controllers are available as CCS PRIMA series and CCS OPTIMA+. CCS PRIMA is offered in single-, dual- (multiplexed) and four-channel (multiplexed) versions. CCS PRIMA+ provides increased light output for demanding glass thickness applications. For OEM integration, CCS PRIMA is also offered in a BOXLESS version for direct embedding into custom enclosures.
