Micro-Epsilon news

To ensure the high production quality of longitudinally welded pipes, the scanCONTROL laser profile scanners check the edge positions and the alignment of the edges to each other.

Micro-Epsilon presents the new thermoMETER CTVideo and CSVideo pyrometers for temperature measurement of metals. The combination of crosshair laser sighting and video signal offers precise thermometer adjustment.

The company Aumat (Germany) develops and manufactures complex production systems for security keys and locks. When manufacturing locking cylinders, the operator must feed the correct blank into the production programme of the control system. A combination of two optoNCDT 1302 laser displacement sensor and a colorSENSOR LT color sensor protect the customer from incorrect use.

In the Daimler "Synchronic Plant" in Mannheim (Germany), innovative scanning technology automates the coating process for vehicle engines. Based on 3D models, individual cleaning and painting programmes for around 10,000 engine variants are generated and transmitted to eight robots on request.

A new version of the scanCONTROL software CD is now available as a download. This comprehensive version 8.0 of the software offers the user a diverse range of features for set up and configuration, data collection and data output.

Micro-Epsilon presents four new laser sensors from its optoNCDT 2300 high-end series, which are designed for a variety of applications, from electronics production to steel processing, offering larger offset distances from 25mm to 550mm.

Micro-Epsilon is one of the product sponsors for the Bloodhound SSC Project. The organizers want to set a new land speed record with a 135,000 HP rocket car. Non-contact sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used in the test cell, road tests and in engine development.

Intelligence, integration and miniaturization are current trends in displacement measurement technology. Furthermore, an increasing number of measurement tasks that were traditionally carried out using tactile displacement and position sensors are now performed using non-contact alternatives. Due to their compact dimensions, very small eddy current sensors are now being used in completely new applications, proving that this trend is making its way into the sub-miniature world.

Two new sensors extend the fields of application for the colorCONTROL ACS7000 spectral inline color measurement system. This circular sensor offers color measurement of structured and shiny metallic surfaces. The 45°/0° standard sensor enables line color measurement according to DIN 5033.

The world's smallest VGA infrared camera, the thermoIMAGER TIM 640, extends the Micro-Epsilon range of industrial infrared cameras. The thermoIMAGER TIM 640 performs radiometric imaging and video recording at a resolution of 640x480 pixels, detecting even the smallest of thermal defects reliably.

The new capacitive controller provides a combination of technical advantages in displacement measurement and excellent price/performance ratio. A compact sensor and ease of use make the capaNCDT 6110 sensor suitable for measuring displacement, distance, and position in a diverse range of applications, from test cells to machine monitoring and OEMs.

The capacitive principle is one of the traditional methods used for industrial distance, displacement and position measurement. Capacitive sensors capaNCDT operate on a non-contact, wear-free basis to nanometre accuracy, and are used in various industries.
