Chromatic Sensor CWL HR - High-Resolution Chromatic Sensor
The FRT CWL HR, just like the other sensors of the CWL family, uses the principle of chromatic distance measurement. Depending on the wavelength, the light is focused in different distances in front of the measuring head.

The light that is reflected from the object is captured and evaluated with regard to its wavelength. As the illustration shows, a characteristic peak can be observed in the spectrum, which allows to determine the height at the current measurement position. Due to its modified optical setup and its super-luminescent diode, the CWL HR provides the highest lateral resolution in the CWL family. It works on highly reflective as well as light absorbing and rough surfaces.
It may even be used to measure the thicknesses of thin transparent films.
