High-performance confocal controllers for precise and fast measurement tasks Product Technology

The IFC2416 controllers impress with a high measuring rate of 25 kHz and exceptional light intensity. This enables precise and stable measurements at high speed - even on challenging materials and surfaces. Their compact design makes them the ideal solution for high-resolution distance and thickness measurements in almost all industrial sectors - from production lines to semiconductor machine construction. Thanks to the multi-peak option, even up to 5 layers of transparent objects can be measured. But the focus is on versatility: The IFC2416 controller is compatible with a numerous sensors so that the measuring range, offset distance and special properties such as vacuum suitability, measuring angle or beam path can be flexibly adapted.

Developed for industry, OEM & automation

Equipped with various interfaces, the controller offers maximum flexibility for integration into machines and systems. Its robust IP40 aluminum housing ensures maximum protection even under harsh conditions, so that highest precision and signal stability can be achieved. The excellent price-performance ratio enables economical solutions from small to large series.

Smallest controller in the world

Its extremely compact and worldwide unique design allows for the controller to be easily integrated into existing installations and systems. The housing is up to 300% smaller than comparable controllers and extremely lightweight at 460 grams. It can be quickly mounted on a DIN rail and fits into even the smallest control cabinets.

Ease of use via web interface

Due to a user-friendly web interface, the entire configuration process is carried out without using any additional software. The web interface can be accessed via Ethernet and provides set up and configuration options. Materials are stored in an expandable materials database.
