The superior non-contacting measurement solution for profilometry, resulting in superior fidelity and dependable results, suitable for a wide range of applications including soft or sensitive surfaces. The uncompromising construction unites unequalled resolution, precision and measurement speed within a single appliance. Robust, free of maintenance, long-lived. Determination of flatness, altitude or position. Calculation of properties like roughness, area or volume. Vibration analysis.

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.
