Performing chromatic confocal coating thickness measurement
Important information
NOTE
The described procedure refers to point measurements. To perform surface measure‐
ments, move the measuring head over the surface with appropriate measuring equip‐
ment. In this way, a surface is assembled from individual measurements.
Prerequisites
•
The device is configured correctly (e.g. measuring rate, lamp intensity).
•
The material settings are configured.
•
The correct number of peaks is set. The peak count can be set e.g. with the
command
NOP
.
•
The correct chromatic measuring head is used.
Approach
1.
Check whether the measuring head is positioned correctly.
2.
In the OD7000 Engineering Tool: Select the desired signal. Track the measure‐
ment.
3.
Adjust parameters if necessary.
Typical parameter adjustments for chromatic confocal coating thickness meas‐
urement:
°
Measuring rate
°
Lamp intensity
°
Detection threshold
°
Detection window
