- Inspection algorithms that compensate for material deformation and dynamic motion
- Optimized combinations of various line-scan system components for specific process needs -
Multi-Modal Thickness Measurement Technologies
UniEye selects the most suitable thickness measurement method based on product characteristics and process conditions to ensure precise and reliable thickness data. To support a wide variety of inspection targets—including transparent/opaque, single/multi-layer, and thin/thick materials—UniEye flexibly applies Interferometry, Confocal, and Laser Displacement sensor technologies.
✔ Interferometry-based Measurement (Interferometry, OCT)
- Measures transparent thin-film thickness at the nanometer scale using light interference
- Ideal for high-precision applications such as multi-layer films and coating layers
- Well-suited for environments with mechanical vibration
✔ Confocal Method
- Measures thickness using reflected light at a specific focal point
- Compatible with semi-transparent materials such as glass and silicon
- More robust to external noise and simpler in optical structure compared to interferometry
✔ Laser Displacement Sensor
- Practical measurement method for high-speed moving lines
- Effective for opaque materials, single-layer films, and adhesive layers in patches
- Compact sensor design fits well in limited space installationsKey Technical Features
- Flexible sensor selection based on material and process characteristics
- Wide measurement range from sub-micron to several hundred microns
- Supports multi-layer detection and interface-specific thickness differentiation
- Non-contact, high-speed scanning enables continuous inspection without disrupting the process -
