Applications for sensors and measuring systems

Searching for special applications?

As Micro-Epsilon handles many different measurement tasks due to the comprehensive product range, published applications in this category are arranged according to the measuring task. Groups have been formed due to the overwhelming abundance of different measuring tasks.

Dimensions, tolerances, sorting, part recognition

Dimensions usually designate the significant linear dimensions of an object. Dimensions can be measured in different ways. Under certain circumstances, one sensor can measure the complete dimensions for small objects. Image processing systems, laser ... »

Thickness of plate, sheet, foil, rubber, insulation, layer, board

Thickness measurement using displacement sensors is a wide application area. Basically there are distinctions between non-destructive/destructive, non-contact/with contact and one-side/two-sided thickness measurement. The Micro-Epsilon measuring tech ... »

Compressor/turbine gap, revolutions

When parts are rotating, their speed can always be measured. Speed sensors which are directly attached to the shaft are usually suitable for this. If this is not possible, other measuring principles must be used where, e.g. the rotating part is measu ... »

Deflection, deformation, waviness

If objects are loaded with a weight or moved free-standing over a certain distance, a smaller or larger warping of the object always occurs. Measuring this deflection can be accomplished for larger objects using all possible distance sensors. On the ... »

Eccentricity, diameter, concentricity

The diameter of an object can be established in different ways. If the centre of the object is known, a single sensor is sufficient for the measurement whose result is evaluated with the position of the centre point or the axis. If the position of th ... »

Filling level

Filling levels can be measured directly or indirectly in many ways using displacement sensors. The confocal principle is usually applied for liquids in doing so. The filling level measurement for solids is comparable with a distance measurement. Micr ... »

Lifting height, lifting

Lifting height is a factor which must be measured very frequently. A lifting height measurement is necessary everywhere where automatic lifting processes should make the daily work easier.
The measurement system can be installed subsequently or a ... »

Centering, positioning, tilt, alignment

Different parts must often be positioned or products put in a specified place in production systems or for automatic movements. Thereby, sensors can only transmit the distance information to the controller or perform the complete system regulation w ... »

Profile, Contour, Surface

The surface or the surface profile is frequently a decisive factor in quality inspection. Laser scanners from Micro-Epsilon are frequently used for this. If traversing laser point sensors are used, these also measure a profile of the surface. The pro ... »

Width

The width of an object is often an important aspect for dimension control. The width can in some circumstances be interpreted as thickness and can therefore be resolved using thickness measurement. Different measuring principles come into considerati ... »

Gap, roller gap, roller convexity

If two object edges are joined together, a gap always remains. If the gap has to satisfy technical or visual requirements, the course with respect to the size must be checked. If the gap should be measured completely, laser scanners in the scanCONTRO ... »

Temperature measurement, surface temperature, intelligent pyrometer

Temperature is a critical factor in many processes and must often be measured. Non-contact infrared measurement is often the better alternative for this as compared with tactile methods. Temperature measurement without this method can no longer be im ... »

Distance

Measuring distance, often also called displacement describes measuring the distance between 2 points. This distance is defined in the measuring technique by the distance of the sensor from the target. Thus, the distance measurement can also be design ... »
