Hello everyone,



as part of the automatic process, we need to non-contact measure the distance between a black glossy plastic with a pattern (imagine a black-gray chessboard) and a transparent plastic part with an accuracy of one tenth of a millimeter


Their distance is about five millimeters.
The measuring sensor can be in the range of a millimeter from the transparent part up to several tens of centimeters.

Does anyone have experience with a similar application and a specific type of sensor (preferably Keyence or Sick)?



thank you for any advice
 
so for anyone intersted in the future, after some testing we decided to use confocal measurement from SICK
