Brake Line Tip Inspection

Filed under: Confocal Displacement Sensor

Engineers use a precision scanning confocal displacement sensor to inspect the surface of a steel brake line tip for scratches and defects. They use a new white-light distance sensor from Acuity. The measurement pen aims down to the sample that is moved on a linear XY stage. The scanning station includes a turret of several confocal measurement pens, but users can order single-channel systems.
