Products - Z5+
-
The Z5+ probe measures X, Y and Z heights for 5 separate laser spots simultaneously. While the center spot in the pattern is stationary, the other four can be manually positioned within the field of view.
- A process vision camera provides feedback to the user for easy positioning of the measurement locations and verifying them on the measured product.
