Autofocus sensor

Contrast evaluation for measurement of geometrical characteristics

Benefits

Distance measurement by focus variation with the hardware of the image processing sensor

By moving the lenses in the orientation of the optical axis, the sharpness (contrast) of the image is continuously evaluated for a section of the image. The contrast has its maximum where the object plane coincides with the focal plane. The sensor is then positioned accordingly to this calculated position. The accuracy of the procedure is primarily dependent on the depth of field of the lens.

Other benefits

Other benefits

  • By combining the non-contact measuring methods of image processing and autofocus sensor, many three-dimensional measuring tasks can be solved

Sensor principle

Optical-axial (focus variation)

Accuracy

Permissible probing error up to 0.25 µm

Functionality

With the hardware of the image processing sensor (a) camera, b) imaging optics, c) measuring object and d) transmitted light illumination), images are taken in different positions on the optical axis. Based on the contrast gradient, the position of the workpiece surface is determined.
