Current news from the Micro-Epsilon group of companies.
The themoMETER product group provides a wide range of different models for non-contact temperature measurement. These are compiled in the revised thermoMETER catalogue, which now includes all new models. The catalogue provides a reference guide to the many potential applications of infrared temperature measurement.
There are now a wide variety of communications protocols available for use with different sensors. In order to simplify this growing diversity, Micro-Epsilon has created “MEDAQLib” at no charge to the user. MEDAQLib takes over the complex communication with the sensor and interfaces, enabling different sensor types to be addressed with identical commands.
Ethernet is now a widely used interface in measurement technology and industry as a whole and is now also available for the scanCONTROL 2700 sensor. Users benefit from the numerous advantages of this standard by integrating laser scanners into their existing networks. The scanner can be integrated directly to an existing data network using an IP configuration program.
There is now a new combination sensor system for fast thickness measurement of plastic layers or films. The measuring head combines a capacitive sensor with an eddy current sensor in a single housing. The KSS6380 measuring system measures the thickness of the target from one side without contact and is therefore ideal for monitoring production processes.
The well-known system for measuring the thickness and width of metal strip has been completely redesigned and improved. Measurements are now possible in a very large measuring gap of 190mm with linearity of 10µm. This and many other innovations make the system the most advanced metal strip inspection system from Micro-Epsilon.
The optoNCDT 1710-1000 is a new addition to the company’s already extensive laser sensor product range. The sensor provides a measuring range of 1,000mm at a distance of 1m. The sensor is ideally suited to moving objects, high target temperatures or if the object is in a vacuum. The product range comprises numerous model variants with measuring ranges of between 2mm and 1,000mm.
The new “optoNCDT Application Guide" brochure provides an overview of potential applications for laser sensors. Divided into various sectors, the brochure illustrates many previously installed applications and explains in detail how the sensors operate and their technical advantages.
