The induSENSOR MSC7401 controller is used for displacement and distance measurements in automation technologies and machine building. The controller is compatible with the inductive LVDT and LDR measuring gauges and displacement sensors from Micro-Epsilon. Housed in robust aluminum, it is ideally suited to industrial applications. As well as ease-of-use, this miniature sensor controller also offers a favorable price/performance ratio.

Inductive eddyNCDT displacement sensors (eddy current) are used to monitor gaps in aluminum die-casting processes. Precision sensors from Micro-Epsilon increase the service life of the tools involved and product quality, while rejects and expenses are reduced. The robust sensor design enables gap measurements in harsh ambient conditions.

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 ...

The capaNCDT 61x0/IP capacitive measuring system is suitable for inline quality assurance of production processes, and for control of plant and machinery. It accurately determines displacement, distance, deflection and expansion, while being insensitive to temperature fluctuations and magnetic fields. Protected to IP68, this measuring system is therefore suitable for many industrial measurement tasks.

The new IF2030/PNET interface module easily connects Micro-Epsilon sensors to PROFINET controllers. It is compatible with Micro-Epsilon sensors that output data via an RS422 or RS485 interface and operates at up to 4 MBaud.

Fully or semi-automatic assembly of cockpit modules during automotive production processes requires the gripper tool to precisely position the assembly parts. Offering integrated profile calculation and due to their compact design, laser scanners from Micro-Epsilon are used for this task. They can be easily installed on a robot or manipulator.

Condition monitoring of wind turbines increases their performance and the service life of components and machines. Modern sensor technologies can help to prevent repairs and to optimize maintenance cycles, not only during the construction and manufacturing of wind turbine components, but also in test benches and in the wind turbine itself.

The latest Configuration Tools 6.0 software combines uniformity with increased functionality and improved ease of use. The software is now available for scanCONTROL sensors and gapCONTROL sensors and therefore arrives as a joint software solution for both sensor types, which now also supports measurements and evaluations of different gap types.

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.
