CHRocodile 2 DPS – Dual-channel sensor for precise multilayer measurement
Two independently configurable measuring channels for precise, non-contact measurement of challenging tasks.
Whether measuring wafer thicknesses, step heights, or multilayer systems—challenging measurement tasks often require different measuring ranges, resolutions, or measurement positions. Single-channel systems quickly reach their limits in such cases, while multiple sensors increase the integration effort and system complexity.
The CHRocodile 2 DPS combines two independently configurable measuring channels in a single controller and offers maximum flexibility for non-contact thickness, step height, and multilayer measurement. Different optical probes can be freely combined and optimally tailored to the material, geometry, and measurement task.
The flexible sensor architecture reduces hardware and integration costs and offers machine builders and system integrators a powerful OEM solution for a wide variety of measurement tasks.
The 2-in-1 solution for thickness measurement, step height measurement, and multilayer measurements
Cost-effective
For step height and multilayer thickness measurement, as well as layer thickness measurement of non-transparent materials, the CHRocodile 2 DPS optical sensor combines two separate channels into a single device. This offers the advantages of a smaller footprint, easier integration into the production environment, and, of course, greater cost efficiency.
Direct output of measurement results
The built-in processor processes the data from both measuring channels, synchronizes and calculates it, and directly outputs the results for material thickness and step height. The measurement results are available without the need for additional external data processing. This makes the CHRocodile 2 DPS the ideal solution for measuring thickness and step height on both sides of non-transparent materials or multilayers where the material thickness exceeds the measuring range of a single optical probe.
Flexible choice of probe heads for a wide range of measurement tasks
The CHRocodile 2 DPS is compatible with Precitec’s broad portfolio of chromatic confocal optical probes. The measuring range, working distance, and resolution can be specifically tailored to the respective measurement task. Depending on the optical probe, measuring ranges from 100 µm to 38.5 mm, as well as high axial and lateral resolutions, are available.
Modular sensor architecture for easy integration
The CHRocodile 2 DPS consists of a controller, optical fibers, and optical probes. Its modular architecture allows for flexible integration into machines and systems. From a broad portfolio of chromatic confocal optical probes, the measuring range, working distance, resolution, and design can be specifically tailored to the respective measurement task.
