Micro-Epsilon news

Conditions for Formula Student – an annual event where students design their own racing cars – are not all that different from the Pro league. And improving even the smallest parameter is important. Therefore, the brake disc temperature is measured during test drives to help optimize the vehicle's braking system

On 15th January 2015, the management board of Micro-Epsilon changed. After Karl Wisspeintner passed management into the hands of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Martin Sellen in 2012, now his sons Dr. Alexander Wisspeintner and Dr. Thomas Wisspeintner succeed Johann Salzberger.

After successfully launching the optoCONTROL 2520 laser micrometer in April 2014, its ease of use has now been further improved. The web interface now runs on HTML5 instead of Java. For users, this means improved stability and reliability.

The highly dynamic optoNCDT 1610 and 1630 series of laser sensors have been updated. From now on, the standard version only offers an analog output and provides an Ethernet interface as an option. The optoNCDT 16x0 models measure high speed processes reliably at a sampling rate of up to 100kHz.

The new thermoIMAGER TIM G7 thermal imaging camera is tailored to the special requirements of glass production, providing optimized spectral sensitivity for measurements in flat glass manufacturing.

A new capacitive controller provides a combination of technical advantages and low cost. 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 automation and machine building.

In the production of kitchen fronts, the colorSENSOR OT-3-MA color sensor ensures that the kitchen display units leaving the production plant have the correct color. Even the smallest color deviations imperceptible to the human eye can be detected on a matt surface.

Equipped with a scanCONTROL laser scanner from Micro-Epsilon, a special vehicle inspects the inside of a pipeline for deformations and cracks. This mobile device is used in harsh environmental conditions and high ambient temperatures in the middle of the desert and is ideally suited to automatic inspection and recording of measured data.

Capacitive sensors are designed for non-contact measurement of displacement, providing stable measurement results and resolutions in the nanometre range. The new capaNCDT brochure features the whole range of capacitive sensors from Micro-Epsilon and provides information about their different fields of application.

Swedish company Sensotest AB is now part of the Micro-Epsilon group and will now trade under the name of Micro-Epsilon Sensotest AB. The company’s proven product range and existing contact persons will remain the same. Customers will also benefit from the additional measuring principles that are now available from the group of companies.

The highly dynamic series of optoNCDT 2300BL laser displacement sensors that use Blue Laser technology has been extended with new models. From now on, measuring ranges of 2mm, 5mm and 50mm are also available.

Co-developed by Micro-Epsilon, the University of Passau and BMW, the reflectCONTROL automatic inspection system for painted surfaces in vehicle production, has been honoured with the Bavarian Innovation Prize.
