The universal measurement solution for non-contacting profilometry on technical surfaces with difficult topography. The sensors are ideally suited for sensitive, soft or liquid surfaces. The small footprint simplifies integration into existing systems. Easy operation and extraordinary dynamic range in combination with high measurement speed perfectly matches the requirements of automated measurement tasks. Reliable results even with untrained personnel. Robust, long-lived construction, no moving parts outside the closed compartment. Determination of flatness, altitude or position. Calculation of properties like area, thickness or volume. The NLS12 sensor with the extraordinary standoff simplifies measurements in industrial or inaccessible environments.

The ZNX Sensor is a non-contact position measuring system based on the principle of capacitance’ micrometry. Two sensor plates (a Target and a Probe) form a parallel plate capacitor. The spacing of these two plates can be measured, using the appropriate electronic controller, to better than 0.1 nm, with a range up to 1.25 mm, a frequency response up to 5 kHz and linear to 0.02%. Because the ZNX Sensor is a noncontact method, it is free of hysteresis. No power is dissipated at the point of measurement.

· Precision measurement to picometres
· Stability of measurement
· Tuneable to meet application requirements
· Options for a wide range of applications

ZLDS11X sensors are optical displacement measuring devices for non contact precision measurement of distance or thickness, width and difference .

The series includes seven lines of models:
ZLDS112 - small size sensors
ZLDS113 - Small Measurement Ranges sensors
ZLDS114 - Offering 10 Different Measuring Ranges
ZLDS115 - Longer Measurement Ranges sensors

The ZLDS11X is a compact unit in which optics, sensor, and signal processing electronics are all integrated. The distance to an object is detected by means of the triangulation principle. A focused laser beam forms a spot on the measuring object. The image of the spot is reflected onto a position detector, a CCD camera, and the ZLDS11X converts this position into the distance to the object by advanced mathematical procedures.

The output signal is provided in 3 different manners. One digital output, an RS232 or RS422 serial output, provides the distance to the object with a frequency of 1000, 2000, 5000 or 10000 Hz acording to Model. At the same time two analog outputs deliver the measured distance, one as a 1 - 9 V DC signal and the other as a 4 - 20 mA current loop.
