Aerospace & Defense

Measurement tasks in Aerospace & Defense place the highest demands on precision and reliability. Sensors must therefore be extremely robust and function reliably in demanding environments. Our sensor solutions are designed to meet these requirements - uncompromisingly reliable, even under harsh conditions.

Whether on land, in the air, at sea or in space: our sensors are designed for demanding applications. They deliver precise measurement data despite strong temperature fluctuations, vibrations or extreme pressure. With decades of experience in sensor development, state-of-the-art production technologies and high quality standards, we offer a high-performance catalog portfolio and develop optimized sensor systems for OEM series applications.

Micro-Epsilon has stood for stability, quality and partnership-based cooperation for more than five decades. With our many years of industry expertise, we are a proven and future-proof partner for our business partners - today and in the future.
