Capacitive measurement system offers nanometre resolution

The capaNCDT 6200 from Micro-Epsilon can be expanded by simply adding a DL6220 demodulator, which provides an Ethernet interface, supporting fast and easy configuration through a web browser. No additional software has to be installed.

With easy integration into the existing network, the Ethernet interface also maximises the accuracy of the measurement readings, as there is no signal ‘noise’ or loss in the signal compared to analogue outputs, resulting in true nanometre resolution.

Based on the same modular design principle, the new DL6230 demodulator can now also be added to the capaNCDT 6200 controller and/or DL 6220 demodulator as an expansion module.

As well as an Ethernet interface, the DL6230 also provides an EtherCAT interface and as well as synchronizing the four measurement channels, it can now also synchronise multiple banks of controllers/demodulators.

As a multi-channel device with nanometre accuracy, the capaNCDT 6200 and DL6220/DL6230 demodulators can be used in a variety of non-contact displacement, position and distance measurement applications, including the measurement of thickness, tilt angle and vibration.
