Micro-Epsilon News

A new configurator is now available for eddy current based inductive sensors. This makes it easier for you to put together the right combination of sensor and the appropriate controller for your application. The eddy current sensors from Micro-Epsilon are characterized by high precision, speed and temperature stability, coupled with the greatest possible ease of use and optimum cost-effectiveness. The strengths of the system are particularly evident when measuring in harsh industrial environments.

The new firmware V53 for scanCONTROL 30xx laser profile scanners is available. In the new version, the exposure time has been optimized. With this change, profile measurements can be performed at up to 5x speed, as the exposure time has been reduced by up to 80%. Thus, highly accurate 2D and 3D measurements with high dynamics can be performed.

The innovative optoNCDT 1900 laser sensor impresses with its high speed, compact design and accuracy. The latest sensor generation is now even smarter - thanks to the integrated EtherCAT interface, you integrate the full sensor performance directly into your PLC. You benefit from real-time data without time delay and with reduced installation effort.

Sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used in numerous production steps in battery manufacturing. A decisive measurement parameter here is the thickness measurement of strip material and coated battery films. High-precision distance sensors, 3D laser scanners and sensor systems are used.

The surfaceCONTROL 2500 3D snapshot sensor is used for geometry, shape and surface inspection of large objects. The sensor can be used in automated in-line and at-line inspections as well as in the metrology room. In addition to its large measuring field, the sensor is characterized by its high measuring range depth of up to 300 mm. The captured images are transferred to the external controller, where they are processed into 3D data. Integration with third-party software is possible via GigE Vision.

The confocalDT IFS2402 miniature confocal displacement sensors are used for measurements in very small installation spaces. The sensor series has now been extended by a model with 0.5 mm measuring range. The IFS2402-0.5 sensor has an extremely compact design with nanometer resolution and a large measuring angle. This enables precise distance measurements in confined spaces, even on curved surfaces.

Profile measurements of metallic long products made of steel, aluminum and non-ferrous metals are now possible with even greater precision. This is due to the new dimensionCONTROL metal profile gauge (MGP), ...

The new colorCONTROL MFA-7 LED analyzer performs color, intensity and function tests of LEDs. Among other things, it performs quality control during in-circuit testing of PCBs in the electronics industry. Compared to previous models, this sensor operates with significantly greater data rates and repeatability, as well as a higher dynamic range. The MFA-7 monitors and tests up to 28 measuring points simultaneously.

scanCONTROL 3D laser scanners from Micro-Epsilon enable reliable 3D measurements within the production line. They operate extremely precisely on different surfaces. With measuring rates up to 10,000 Hz, ...

The high-precision thicknessGAUGE measuring systems can be integrated in the production line in the form of a C-frame and now even as an O-frame. Depending on the respective purpose and application, these thickness gauges are equipped with either laser scanners, laser triangulation sensors, confocal sensors and electromagnetic combi sensors. This is how best results can be achieved with every type of application. Not only is there a choice of sensors, but even the measuring width, measuring range and working range can be adapted to suit OEM applications.

The powerful optoNCDT ILR2250-100-H laser distance sensor is the ideal choice for outdoor measurements over long distances. The sensor is now available with integrated heating and cooling element. The optoNCDT ILR2250-100-H provides stable results and high accuracy at measuring ranges up to 100 m or up to 150 m with an additional reflector film.
