With Continuous Confocal, the company has developed a confocal technique that utilizes a continuous z-axis scan. The acquisition speed is comparable to Focus Variation and is roughly three times faster than Sensofar's existing Confocal approach while maintaining a comparable repeatability and accuracy. According to the exhibitors, the solution is ideal for QC tasks where speed is a key factor and is essential for reducing acquisition times for large-area and extensive z-axis scans. Confocal Fusion is another new measurement technique from the developers. It is claimed to combine the best from Sensofar's Confocal and Focus Variation techniques by using a unique smart algorithm that yields the most reliable data from a single scan. Where neither Confocal nor Focus Variation can provide ideal results, Confocal Fusion reportedly surpasses the limitations of both techniques to provide high-quality measurements over spatially highly varying surfaces. It is seen as excellent for highly complex or technical surfaces exhibiting both steep rough and steep smooth areas, and where a traditional confocal approach alone would fail to capture the surface adequately. Both measurement technologies are said to conform to ISO 25178 requirements.
