Metrology Resource Co. and Siemens Optical Solutions recently introduced a single-point confocal displacement sensor that combines confocal microscopy with high-speed scanning. The Seimens SISCAN Model SC has applications in a wide variety of industries. It provides high-speed distance measurement with 8,000 scans per second at a resolution of 0.1 to 0.4 microns, regardless of surface conditions, and at ultra-high accuracy. The device also has a flexible measurement range of up to 1.6 mm and a large numerical aperture.

Metrology Resource Co. will market the new device in the United States and Canada. It has an existing agreement with Siemens Optical Solutions to market Siemens’ SISCAN Model 64.

“We are pleased to be able to work with Metrology Resource to introduce these products into the U.S. and Canadian markets,” says Erik Oliver Eyb, Siemens’ business development manager. “Both products have unique features not found in other sensors of this type.”
