Measurement and inspection systems

The thicknessGAUGE sensor systems are used for precise thickness measurement of strip and sheet material up to 50 mm. Several models with different sensor types, measuring ranges and measuring widths enable inline thickness measurement of different materials and surfaces with an unmatched price-performance ratio.

The fully assembled system consists of a sturdy frame to which two optical distance sensors are attached. These detect the thickness of the measuring object using the differential principle. The sensors are mechanically aligned with each other during installation. Furthermore, thickness calibration at the factory enables high precision thickness measurements.

3D measuring systems from Micro-Epsilon measure strips, sheets, profiles and semi-finished products without contact in full 3D – inline during the ongoing production process. Instead of individual measuring points, they provide complete 3D data sets and thus enable the reliable evaluation of shape, geometry and dimensional accuracy. The turnkey sensor systems combine high-resolution sensor technology, powerful evaluation software and a robust system architecture. This allows geometry deviations to be detected at an early stage, quality to be documented and processes to be controlled reliably.

Depending on the measurement task, different systems are available from combined thickness and 3D profile measurement to 360° geometry inspection of tubes and profiles.

For the steel and aluminum industry, Micro-Epsilon offers innovative measuring and inspection systems for thickness, profile and surface measurements. Performance and quality, as well as reliability of products and services have made Micro-Epsilon one of the leading suppliers of inspection systems for optical thickness measurement used in the metals industry.

Our non-contact thickness measuring systems are used wherever high-precision thickness monitoring is required for control and quality assurance. Both in hot rolling mills, in continuous casting plants and in cold rolling mills and service centers, the Micro-Epsilon measuring systems operate reliably and with maximum precision. Numerous, successful installations in 13 countries around the world in milling lines and processing lines speak for themselves.

Micro-Epsilon is your reliable partner for measuring and inspection systems that are used equally by vehicle manufacturers and supplier companies. The measuring systems enable process stability, production reliability as well as quality. In addition, Micro-Epsilon's worldwide network enables efficient project handling on site.

The quality of electrode film is crucial for increasing the performance of future battery generations. In order to generate higher energy densities, coating and calendering processes must be performed with the highest precision. Micro-Epsilon offers high-precision measuring systems for the thickness measurement of coated and uncoated battery film. These systems are equipped with high-resolution sensors and increase process stability, production speed and quality in modern coating lines.
