Surface Measure Noncontact Line-Laser Sensor



Mitutoyo America Corporation offers its SM1008S, the first noncontact line-laser sensor in the Mitutoyo Surface Measure product line.

"The Surface Measure 1008S aims to disrupt the surface measurement processes across a wide range of industries, offering unprecedented precision and accuracy, even with in-line and near-line shop floor applications," said a company spokesperson. "The SM1008S leverages a propriety Mitutoyo optical system alongside our traditional sensor technology to deliver versatile performance that includes 2D profile measurements and comprehensive 3D dimensional inspections."

Key features and benefits:

  • The SM1008S features an accuracy of 20 µm and a Z repeatability of 0.5 µm. This precision allows for stable inspection and measurement of intricate details and complex surfaces.
  • The sensor's on-board software includes a wide array of measurement tools, such as height, width, volume, flatness, pattern matching, gap & flush, optical character recognition (OCR), barcode reading and various defect detection tools. These features eliminate the need for additional controllers or complex programming, simplifying set-up and operation.
  • Designed to withstand demanding environments, the SM1008S achieves an IP67 protection level. It supports automated measurements with high-speed profile acquisition (up to 10 kHz) and features a parts matching function for consistent application regardless of part orientation.
  • Suitable for industries including electrical, electronics, semiconductor, automotive, food, medical device and pharmaceuticals, the SM1008S facilitates 100% in-line inspection, enhancing quality control and productivity.
