Clickable Navigation Bar   Non-contact Measurement Experts

CyberOptics’ core expertise is the design, manufacture and marketing of high-speed, high-resolution optical and laser-based sensors for precision non-contact measurement. We also design, manufacture and market non-contact inspections systems for a variety of industrial and high-tech manufacturing applications.

Non-contact laser sensors are particularly well-suited for measuring soft, wet, pliable, fragile or highly contoured surfaces without deforming or damaging the object.

Laser TriangluationThe Principle of Laser Triangulation

A point of light is projected from the laser diode to the object being measured. The light scattered from the object is imaged onto a light-sensitive detector. As the distance from the sensor to the surface changes by z, the light reflected on the surface is imaged to a new position on the detector, as indicated by x. This position on the detector can then be correlated to an accurate z measurement. An animated version of the illustration provides better understanding (40K).
