Controlled Conformal Coating Processes
Talking about purified assembled printed circuit boards (PCBs), e.g. in automotive industry for control of airbag or anti-lock braking systems (ABS), one of the main issues is the protection against environmental impact. The error-free functionality must be guaranteed even at the North Cape, the Rainforest or in the desert and this warranty has to be provided for even a decade.

PCB Separation: Controlling ultrashort pulse laser using chromatic-confocal sensors (Depanelling Systems)
When chips are disassembled, a process known as depaneling, precision down to the micrometer is required in both processing and positioning. The depanelling system, built by iC-automation,meets this challenge with a combination of confocal optical measuring sensors and and ultrashort pulse laser made by TRUMPF.

Optical Sensors conquer 3D Surface Measuring Machines Application story cyberTECHNOLOGIES
How does the 3D measurement of electronic components work? At first glance, the measuring machines used here look like their relatives from the mechanical world, the high-end coordinate measuring machines. Yet much is different and it starts with the name: We speak of 3D surface measurement systems for microelectronics or microsystems technology, for precision engineering or for the tool industry; and the all-rounders among these can offer several sensor systems. Optical sensors are taking over the lion’s share of the measuring tasks.
Up to four different measuring systems can be found on the sensor carriers of the cyberTECHNOLOGIES 3D surface measurement machines.

CHRocodile C – a new, non-contact and compact sensor system for distance and layer thickness measurements
The chromatic CHRocodile C sensor with its robust and integrated design the size of a cigarette pack offers high precision distance and thickness measurements. CHRocodile C is specially suited for industrial inline use and easily integrable into any kind of inspection machine.
Thanks to its compact dimensions and excellent performance/price ratio, CHRocodile C is the ideal alternative to classical laser triangulation sensors.

Contactless 3D measurement with multi-point sensors
Heye International’s Mark Ziegler and Gerd Schütz discuss the importance of wall thickness measurement in the high speed manufacture of lightweight glass containers and the use of CHRocodile chromatic confocal sensors from Precitec Optronik GmbH in Heye cold end inspection machines.

Medical Technology: Wall Thickness Measurement of Balloon Catheter
It is almost impossible for the wall thickness of balloons and thin-walled tubes (from which balloon catheters are manufactured) to be measured from the inside. The wall thicknesses can merely be estimated mechanically. But a simple solution exists in the form of optical noncontact measuring techniques which offer thickness measurements as a starting point, because these techniques offer so much more.

Wall thickness measurement for non-round ware
Heidi Olson describes an optical probe, designed by Precitec Optronik for the wall thickness measurement of non-round containers. Using a specialized optical design, the probe enables measurement at angles more than double that possible with other techniques. This is advantageous for both rotating measurement of non-rounds, as well wall thickness determination on highly decorated containers.
