The new optoCONTROL CLS1000 optoelectronic fiber optic sensors reliably check the quality of rough, matt or glossy surfaces, for example, during surface grinding. This inspection of metallic workpieces brings significant advantages, as the workpieces can be inspected without contact and directly during the running process.

High-quality CFS sensors with fiber optics are used at the detection point. These are characterized by their small installation dimensions and robust designs. They are optimized for difficult surfaces, including shiny metallic surfaces, and with a measuring rate of up to 10 kHz they deliver fast and accurate results even in dynamic processes.
