Micro-Epsilon news

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.

With the MDS-40-MK series, Micro-Epsilon has created a new platform for magneto-inductive distance sensors. Based on the proven measuring principle, these sensors measure distances up to 55mm to magnetic targets. The new series has been specially optimized for cost-intensive high volume applications.

The Micro-Epsilon gapCONTROL Setup Software 2.0 is a new tool for simplifying the set up, configuration and measurement analyzes of the gapCONTROL laser profile scanner, a sensor developed specifically for gap measurement tasks.

The colorCONTROL ACS7000 color measurement system is, for example, used in pharmaceutical production. Color measurement of tablets checks that the ingredients have been added in the correct quantity and concentration.

The range of accessories for capacitive displacement sensors has been extended with a new long length CCg cable. The new triaxial cable enables cable lengths of up to eight metres and is designed for industrial environments where long cable lengths are required.

Eddy current sensors from Micro-Epsilon are designed for non-contact measurement of displacement, distance, position, oscillation and vibrations. They are particularly suitable when high precision is required in harsh industrial environments (pressure, dirt, temperature). Non-contact eddy current sensors from Micro-Epsilon offer extremely precise measurements where sub-micron accuracy is required. The recently updated website for the eddyNCDT product group informs users about their advantages, measuring principles and applications of eddy current displacement sensors from Micro-Epsilon.

Micro-Epsilon is one of the product sponsors for the Bloodhound SSC Project. The organizers want to set a new land speed record of 1,600 kilometres per hour (1,000mph) 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. In the test rig, the optical sensors are faced with even higher speeds.
