PAGE 6 FPS Sensors plug&play sensing for R&D-setups The global trend towards miniaturization causes major challenges for advanced metrology: quality standards are increasing, requirements on accuracy and reliability are constantly rising, and failure tolerances in production processes are steadily reduced. Especially in applications such as quality assurance and research & development, instruments need to provide highest precision, while offering versatile implementation options and the immediate availability of data post-processing, analysis, and storage. Accurate Accurate Radiation hard The built-in DFB laser of the FPS is locked to a molecular absorp- tion frequency reference, making the detected displacement traceable to international length standards. All measurements are therefore truly accurate in a metrological sense. (see page 199) Optional radiation-hard sensor heads and fiber packages are available for the operation in radiation harsh environments. All radiation-hard (/RAD) components are qualified for radiation doses of up to 10 MGy. Ultra fast Multi axis operation up to 2 m All FPS sensors measure the position of the target with a band- width of 10 MHz and a resolution of 1 pm. At the same time, the sensor is compatible with displacement velocities of up to 1 m/s. Software With its advanced software automation, the FPS displacement and analy- sis system is the perfect solution for contactless, ultra-high precision and non-invasive displacement measurement tasks requiring immediate data inspection. Its plug-and-play architecture enables direct integration and versatile operation in a variety of applications within only few minutes. The FPS provides three measurement axes, allowing parallel Z Y displacement measurements of three targets in real-time. This X enables economic measurements in a nanometer range. Multi Axis Dedicated software Daisy Environmental compensation FPS sensors are delivered with a dedicated PC-based software, allowing synchronous data visualization, analysis, and storage. FPS sensors can be equipped with an optional environmental compensation unit (ECU). The ECU enables the operation of FPS sensors at ambient conditions, while maintaining an accuracy of better ± 1 ppm under a wide range of pressure, temperature, and humidity conditions. bar PC & real-time interfaces Built in USB 2.0 and Ethernet (optional) interfaces enable plug-and-play communication with any personal computer. High-speed real-time interfaces further broaden the application spectrum of the FPS. Contactless & miniature XXS Miniature Using small-sized sensor heads, the FPS suits space-limited ap- plications. The technology is based on the Fabry-Pérot interfer- ometer that enables contactless measurements and is resistant to outside influences.
