The new colorSENSOR CFO200 takes the powerful True Color recognition sensors of the CFO series to a new performance level. The new model is distinguished by its increased precision, speed, light power, color memory and additional connections. With a measurement frequency of 20 kHz, 320 colors in 254 color groups can be detected to the highest color accuracy. The colorSENSOR CFO200 is used for color recognition, color comparison, contrast measurement and presence monitoring.

In wind turbines, the bearing gap is very important because the better the sliding properties, the higher the plant effectiveness and service life. The bearing gap between the bearing surface and the drive shaft is reliably monitored using inductive sensors from Micro-Epsilon based on eddy currents.

The new, confocal chromatic confocalDT IFS2404-2 sensor is used for high precision distance and thickness measurements of transparent materials. With a diameter of just 12 mm, the sensor can also be integrated into restricted installation space. The innovative lens enables high measurement accuracy and a small light spot diameter. Together with the confocalDT 2421/2422 controller, the new sensor offers an excellent price/performance ratio for OEM purposes.

Monitoring the clamping position in machine tools is an extremely important and critical measurement task. In order to avoid incorrect machining and the high resulting costs, the position of the tool must be detected. Here, the induSENSOR LVP displacement sensor is used. The compact and wear-free sensor supplies a continuous analog signal according to the stroke motion of the drawbar when clamping the tool.

In cooperation with Micro-Epsilon, KRP Mechatec has developed a measuring platform for high precision thermal deformation measurement of space components. This measurement is performed using capacitive displacement sensors from Micro-Epsilon which provide a statement about the deformation down to the microradian range.

With the capaNCDT DTV, Micro-Epsilon has developed a thickness measurement system for brake discs that is used for the detection of Disc Thickness Variation. Extremely robust multi-channel sensors and controllers with a comprehensive software package, as well as a carry case for mobile use, cater for various measurement tasks.

The powerful CFO200 True Color recognition sensor from Micro-Epsilon detects 320 colors in 254 color groups to the highest color accuracy with a measurement frequency up to 20 kHz. In addition, the innovative ...

Capacitive sensors are considered one of the most precise measuring systems for displacement, distance and position, achieving resolutions well below one nanometer. The modular-designed system allows up to four additional measurement channels to be added. It stands out due to its modular design and because it is one of the most modern controllers in the world. The capaNCDT 6222 is used for high speed measurements up to 20 kHz.

In the surface finishing of strip material, the color sensor system used must meet high requirements in terms of precision and speed. To detect color nuances with an accuracy of ΔE <0.1, the colorCONTROL ACS7000 color measuring system from Micro-Epsilon is used. It works with high precision and speed directly in the production line.

The new optoNCDT 1750LL laser sensor is used in high precision distance measurements of metallic and structured surfaces. Their oval-shaped light spot makes it possible to compensate for physical interferences and to output stable measurement values. Therefore, the optoNCDT 1750LL can be used where conventional laser point sensors are operating at their limits.

Based on the combination of two different sensor technologies in one sensor head, Micro-Epsilon has developed the thicknessCONTROL TCP 8303.ET, an innovative system for thickness measurements directly in the calender system. It enables fully automatic rubber thickness control during the production process.

In order to inspect the height of pressed-in contact pins on PCB immediately after the assembly process, scanCONTROL laser scanners from Micro-Epsilon are used. These create a 3D profile of each PCB. Faced with miniature targets, the sensors must fulfill high requirements in terms of precision and speed.
