Description
The CHRocodile S optical sensor is the all-rounder with an excellent price/performance ratio. It is perfectly suited for challenging measuring tasks, such as the non-contact measurement of topography and thickness. The sensor employs two different methods of measurement and thus is able to measure thicknesses of a wide measuring range.
The extraordinarily high dynamic response and the outstanding signal-to-noise ratio of the CHRocodile sensors ensure the best measuring results on surfaces with differing reflectivity and from different angles.
