Searching for special applications?

Micro-Epsilon applications are realised in many different sectors. All published applications in this area have already been selected according to the respective sector for an overview.

Aerospace, aviation and aeronautics

The applications in aviation and aeronautics range from the development of individual components to the use in the aircraft or rocket. The high reliability and high quality combined with many innovations in the sector make diverse uses of the sensors ... »

Conveying technology

Time and safety play a large part for the conveyance of persons and products. Every transport requires minimum time with maximum safety. It is practically self-evident that many movements must be monitored and controlled thereby. Position sensors fro ... »

Measurement and automation technology

Automatically running processes must also be controlled whether the required target movement has actually been achieved. Their monitoring is often more complex the faster and more precisely the production runs. Measurement technology is a crucial fac ... »

Automotive development

Vehicles must already prove their suitability for later use in the first stages of development. At the same time, not only functionalities but also stabilities, expansions, vibrations and many other things are tested. The extensive use of measurement ... »

Automotive production

Automotive production is automated to a high degree and therefore very closely connected with this field. Measurement technology is included in the machines and the production line in practically every production step. The requirements for high quali ... »

Automotive test bench

Prototypes of new models and finished makes are thoroughly tested in ongoing tests. Vehicles are examined in numerous tests on testers for complete vehicles or for individual components. Many different sensors play a supporting role for such types of ... »

Construction industry, building materials

This area means less the construction industry directly but rather the suppliers of the construction companies and also manufacturers of building materials. Modern buildings have high requirements which can only be achieved by means of high quality ... »

Chemical industry, process automation

Very many process steps must run precisely and in a defined way in the chemical and pharmaceuticals industries as otherwise batches could be rejected due to strict regulations. Therefore the diverse automatically running processes in this sector must ... »

Electrical engineering, electronics, semiconductors

Quality or function monitoring of the individual components plays a leading role for electrical engineering. This concept is particularly the case for inspection during the manufacture of semiconductors. Components are tested for function and quality ... »

Energy technology, power stations

Energy technology is currently a more and more important topic. The use of modern sensors makes constant new developments in this field possible. Sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used both during the development of new systems as well as for the proces ... »

Precision mechanics, optics

A high degree of precision is important for precision mechanics and optical components. Therefore, sensors from Micro-Epsilon are frequently used for this area. The positioning of components plays a leading role in this sector. Thereby, it is irrelev ... »

Glass, ceramics

Glass and ceramics must always be free of defects for delivery. Systems or sensors from Micro-Epsilon are therefore often used to check the quality of the end product. The thickness, surface, contour and dimensions are often important for this. As th ... »

Household appliances

Even household appliances require the use of displacement measurement technology. In this context, sensors are frequently used for increasing the ease of use with respect to the efficiency. Displacement and temperature measurement optimises various p ... »

Academic institutes, universities

A particular interest of Micro-Epsilon is the promotion of research in academic institutes and universities. High precision measuring devices are required for research in these institutions; new techniques for sensors or new measuring principles ofte ... »

Hydraulic systems, pneumatics

Valves are responsible in hydraulic systems and pneumatics that forces are routed where they are needed. Automatically functioning valves must also be checked for function which can best be achieved using displacement sensors. This also applies for m ... »

Plastic, rubber

The plastics area requires all kinds of measurements. Whether on final products such as motor vehicle tyres, during the production of different compounds in the extruder or already previously during the manufacture of different pellets and additives. ... »

Food and beverage

Temperature measurement for process monitoring is very frequently used in the foodstuffs industry. The non-contact thermoMETER sensors from Micro-Epsilon are particularly suitable for this. Displacement measurement is also widely used in production w ... »

Mechanical engineering

Mechanical engineering today is more automated than ever before. Displacement measurement for assurance of the functions is being used more and more. Displacement measurement also plays an important role for the achievable precision today of the vari ... »

Medical technology, health care

Sensors from Micro-Epsilon are also used in medical technology. Modern operating techniques are no longer processed only manually; rather operations are supported by robot assistants where measuring technology plays an important role. Sensors from Mi ... »

Metallurgy

High resistance to harsh ambient conditions is often the priority during the production of various metals. Many sensors can tolerate the high thermal loads with special protective cases and accessories. Displacement sensors are frequently also used a ... »

Metal processing

For the metal processing, sensors are used in order to control or to detect the product itself on the one hand, on the other hand to check the movement of the processing machine. In this process, precision is often less emphasized than huge resistanc ... »

Military

There are many applications in the military and armaments area. Current equipment and vehicles usually show a high degree of electronics, automation and thus also sensors. Sensors from Micro-Epsilon are seldom used thereby in series production, but r ... »

Paper and printing technology

An important requirement is that the production in paper and printing technology runs without errors. Small deviations from the specified dimensions quickly become apparent during the fast running processes. Precise displacement sensors from Micro-Ep ... »

Shipbuilding and railway technology

Sensors for displacement measurement are frequently used in both these areas. In doing so, the application area starts as early as the manufacture. For example, sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used for the quality inspection. In operation, they often ... »
