The optoNCDT 1420 is by now also available with a measuring range of 500mm. It is therefore the smallest laser sensor in the market that offers such a large measuring range combined with high measurement accuracy. This smart laser sensor is suitable for logistics, warehouse automation and robotics.

Instead of a red laser line, the Blue Laser diode generates a blue-violet laser beam with a wavelength of 405nm. The sharper focus enables a sharper projection of the laser beam and therefore increased accuracy. In numerous measurement tasks, the technology patented by Micro-Epsilon offers decisive advantages compared to red-diode laser sensors.

The new optoNCDT 2300-2DR uses blue laser light and is specially designed for displacement and distance measurements on directly reflecting surfaces. On reflective and shiny surfaces, the sensor operates at high speed and provides maximum precision in the nanometer range. Furthermore, the optoNCDT 2300-2DR laser sensor has a unique feature as it is the only laser sensor in its class for directly reflecting surfaces where the entire electronics are integrated in a compact housing.

Providing high precision measurement results, thermoIMAGER TIM infrared cameras are ideal for industrial temperature monitoring and outdoor applications. Special protective housings open up new application possibilities and protect high quality cameras from external influences in outdoor use or special cooling housings that enable operation in high temperature environments.

Micro-Epsilon manufactures approx. 5,000 inductive displacement measurement systems for the world’s largest, optical and near-infrared telescope. This record-breaking project is headed by the ...

An even larger field of applications is now opened up for the optoNCDT 2300 high performance laser sensor. The new C-Box/2A interface converter now enables fast D/A conversion of two optoNCDT 2300 laser sensor signals. Furthermore, individual measurement values can be calculated synchronously in order to directly output parameters such as thickness, diameter or tilt angle.

In glass bottle production based on the press and blow method, the weight of the glass drop is a crucial factor in ensuring a smooth production process. Harsh ambient conditions, particularly strong vibrations, present a huge challenge for the measurement technology involved. Therefore, Micro-Epsilon has developed a special EDS long-stroke sensor in cooperation with the German IS machine builder GPS.
