Market Overview

Advanced optical measurement devices known as chromatic confocal sensors are utilized for non-contact surface measurement, inspection, and profilometry. They employ confocal microscopy and chromatic aberration principles to accurately determine the surface distance and capture detailed surface profiles with high resolution. Industry 4.0 highlights the significance of being flexible and adaptable in manufacturing procedures to fulfill evolving market needs and customer desires. The chromatic confocal method, a mature optical measurement technology for measuring distance and thickness, has become well-established in both industry and research. White light is passed through a chromatic lens to produce a range of monochromatic light along the z-axis, in turn assigning colors to the optical axis. Chromatic confocal sensors are used for precise and accurate surface profile measurements in industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical devices, and semiconductors. Many industries are experiencing an increasing need for accurate surface roughness, shape, and thickness measurement for quality control purposes, leading to a strong market demand. The growing need for industrial automation and artificial intelligence is driving market growth, providing accurate measurements, improving product quality, and reducing defects in various industries.
