SD Optics’ Confocal AF Module is the world’s first breakthrough solution,
seamlessly integrating ultra-high-speed variable focus technology with a
Through-the-Lens (TTL) confocal optical system.
By aligning inspection and height measurement on a single optical axis,
it delivers real-time Z-axis displacement (ΔZ) measurement with fast, precise autofocus.
With support for Extended Depth of Focus (EDoF) imaging,
it unlocks powerful image-based 3D measurement capabilities.
Engineered for performance and precision, the Confocal AF Module sets a new standard for
high-precision inspection and metrology applications.
