Surface inspection using reflectCONTROL

$C:\Documents and Settings\11000487\Desktop\PR240-reflectCONTROL-35px$

In September 2007, Micro-Epsilon established collaboration with the BMW plant in Dingolfing, Germany, and the Institute for Software Systems in Technical Informatics Applications of the University of Passau (FORWISS Passau). This new joint research project was based on deflectometry software developed by Micro-Epsilon and Passau University and focused on developing a new optical measuring process for industrial quality control of reflecting surfaces. The Bavarian Research Foundation funded the entire two-year FORSO project.

Robot-guided Measurement Technology

$C:\Documents and Settings\11000487\Desktop\PR237_Robotergeführte Messtechnik-35px$

Micro-Epsilon Messtechnik offers a number of methods for robot measurement tasks. In particular, these are used for wide area, high-precision measurements and where there are increased flexibility requirements. Non-contact sensor data guides the tools or devices attached to the robot arms. For example, a laser sensor can be used for dynamic distance measurements when applying adhesive beads to car roof rails or windscreens.

Online Color Measuring System for Quality Control

MICRO-EPSILON Eltrotec introduces colorCONTROL ACS 7000, the first online color measuring system. The measuring principle is based on spectral imaging. First, the target is illuminated with white light, then the spectrum of the reflected light is compared to a white reference. The results are used to calculate CIE-xy color coordinates for wavelengths of 390-780 nm.

LED inspection with five channels

Micro-Epsilon offers the new colorCONTROL MFA-5 for the inspection of LEDs starting at a basic version that offers five measuring channels. This simplifies the inspection of LEDs for their function, contrast and luminosity. The new MFA-5 is extremely compact and can verify up to five LEDs simultaneously. The measuring system can be extended in a modular fashion by adding extra MFA-E modules in batches of 5 channels.

New generation of confocal measurement technology

ConfocalDT 2451 and 2471 are the latest high performance controllers in Micro-Epsilon’s confocal measurement range. Due to excellent signal-to-noise ratio, measurement rates of 10kHz are achieved using an LED and 70kHz using a xenon light source. For the first time, a high performance CCD array is installed as the sensor element in the controller, developed by Micro-Epsilon in a robust industrial housing. The unique active exposure regulation of a laser line enables rapid, precise surface compensation in dynamic measuring processes on a range of different target surfaces. ConfocalDT is the first controller that offers Ethernet, EtherCAT, RS422 and analog output interfaces. The sensors are therefore extremely flexible and can be easily integrated to existing systems.

Draw-wire sensors with a plastic line

The use of a "wire" of synthetic material in draw-wire sensors is ensuring additional application areas for the wireSENSOR P85 sensors from Micro-Epsilon. Thanks to its high tensile strength, its low expansion and extremely long service life, it is technically equal in every way to conventional steel wire while its lower weight is a further bonus

Capacitive gap sensor

The new capacitive sensors from Micro-Epsilon capaNCDT CSG are specially developed to measure gap width. Sensor electrodes are applied to the top front and back on a circuit board that has a width of 20cm. Using the sensor electrodes and the differential method, the gap width can be determined very precisely while moving the sensor into the gap.
