The scanCONTROL BL is used for multi-dimensional measurement on red-hot glowing metals as well as on transparent and organic materials. While allowing higher stability, the blue laser light does not penetrate the measurement object due to the shorter wavelength of the blue-violet laser and offers more stability. Red-hot glowing and even organic objects are measured more reliably compared to the red laser.
The scanCONTROL BL models offer the same excellent features as the scanCONTROL series that use a red laser diode. The Blue Laser scanners are as well available in three classes: Compact (2900/BL, 2700/BL), High-Speed (2950/BL, 2750/BL) and Smart (2910/BL, 2710/BL).
World first: scanCONTROL 29xx-10/BL with 10mm laser line
The new scanCONTROL 29xx-10/BL laser profile scanner projects an only 10mm wide laser line. The profile resolution of 1280 points results in a point distance of just 7.8 µm. Due to this high resolution combined with the blue laser, the sensor is preferably used in highly precise measurement and inspection tasks, e.g. in precision mechanics or the electronics and medical engineering.
The analog display, DD241PC, has an analog input and is typically used for distance monitoring or for position control. If two analog signals have to be evaluated together, the DD245PC model is available. The DD245PC is ideal for applications such as static thickness measurement, where a new output signal must be calculated from two input signals. The process display DD214NE is used for digital incremental sensors and, like its analog counterpart, can evaluate both signals and output as one signal. The DD202TA is used for displaying revolutions or speed. The DD214NA is used for the position display with SSI output sensors.

boreCONTROL is designed for the inspection of small bore holes from ø4 mm. The measurement system consists of a sensor with integrated rotary drive, a motor controller, a sensor controller and an exchangeable sensor lance. boreCONTROL is based on confocal chromatic sensor technology. The rotating sensor lance enables a circular measurement. The system provides non-contact diameter measurements in bore holes and cavities.
Measuring Priciple
The confocal chromatic measuring principle offers the following advantages:
Non-contact measurement with small light spot
High resolution in radial & axial direction
High dynamics (sampling rate up to 25kHz)
Applicable on many materials
Applications
Measurement of precision parts for turning, milling, deep drawing, injection moulding etc.
First-off sample inspection or in-process diameter measurements
Surface assessment & defect detection
For numerous applications in the automotive industry, aircraft industry, medical engineering and in machine building
boreCONTROL LAB
boreCONTROL LAB is a device designed for laboratory use. This benchtop unit is ideally suited to applications in development and quality assurance, including for example first-off samples or production spot checks. boreCONTROL LAB is easy to set up and configure, providing high precision statements about the quality of bore holes or cavities in the diameter range from 4mm up to 16mm.
System design A granite table enables temperature-resistant and vibration-free measurements. The sensor consists of a quickly exchangeable sensor lance and a rotary drive. It is moved by a high precision linear stage in axial direction (z direction). Sensors for the diameters 4 to 10mm, 8 to 13mm and 10 to 16mm are available. Measurement objects can be easily fixed using a chuck and precisely positioned with a manual x-/y-table. Operation and evaluation are performed via an industrial tablet PC.
