Micro-Epsilon News

Capacitive sensors from Micro-Epsilon are robust and achieve submicron resolution in industrial applications. Therefore, they are often used for applications that require the highest precision and stability. Based on an innovative sensor design, accessories and powerful multi-channel controllers, they perform extremely well in precise thickness measurements of battery films.

The optoNCDT ILR2250 laser distance sensor from Micro-Epsilon offers flexibility and ease of use. The IO-Link allows the sensor to be integrated in all common fieldbus and automation systems while enabling dynamic adaption of sensor parameters. These laser distance sensors with IO-Link save time and money.

Micro-Epsilon offers a powerful product range of confocal chromatic sensors. Now three new models expand the application versatility in distance and thickness measurements. It’s a 90° model for flexible integration in machines and systems, a vacuum sensor for demanding ambient conditions and a high precision sensor for measurement tasks with submicrometer accuracy.

The optoNCDT 1220 laser sensors are now also available with digital RS422 interface as standard. With their integrated controller, these compact sensors offer increased performance for OEM and serial applications. They are used, among other things, in automation, 3D printing, machine building, robotics and the automotive industry.

The IMS5400 white light interferometer has been extended with the IMP-TH70 sensor. At 70 mm, the sensor enables a working distance of almost twice as much as before while at the same time offering an increased tilt angle. With a resolution < 1 nm, the sensor is used for high precision thickness measurements of very thin glasses and films. Thanks to active temperature compensation and passive cooling, very stable measurement results are achieved in industrial environments.

The new thermoMETER CTM-4 infrared pyrometer measures temperatures in the range from 0 °C to 500 °C with extremely high speed. While previous models work in the millisecond range, a signal of just 90 µs is sufficient for temperature measurements using the CTM-4. Due to its external controller, this non-contact sensor offers a very compact design and can be installed even in restricted spaces.

The new wireSENSOR WPS-K100 draw-wire displacement sensors are used for high volume industrial applications. They impress in displacement and position measurements both indoors and outdoors with an excellent price/performance ratio. Due to their modular design, the sensors can be adapted quickly and easily to the respective measurement task.

The new thicknessGAUGE systems for high precision thickness measurements of strip and plate materials are based on three different sensor technologies and offer maximum application versatility. They are equipped with laser triangulation sensors, laser profile scanners or confocal chromatic sensors. Micro-Epsilon offers the right system for each type of surface, material or performance class. This innovative inline solution traverses on a linear axis and offers fully automatic calibration. In addition, a comprehensive software package is included.

optoNCDT laser sensors are among the best in their class. They solve numerous measurement and testing tasks in factory automation, electronics production, robotics and the automotive industry. The new optoNCDT 1900LL laser line models are equipped with a small laser line and provide high precision measurement results on metallic and structured surfaces.

True Color sensors from Micro-Epsilon are designed for various application possibilities that require the detection of very fine color graduations. The powerful colorSENSOR CFO controller can be combined with four different sensor types. These are specially designed for direct and diffuse reflection, high-gloss, structured and metallic surfaces, as well as transparent measuring objects. These sophisticated sensors equipped with glass fiber optics stand out due to their small dimensions, robust design and flexible adaption possibilities.

The new scanCONTROL 30xx laser scanner generation is now available with a large measuring range of 200 mm. These 2D/3D high performance scanners are used in almost all industries from car manufacturing, rail construction and electronics production to machine building. They provide precise measurement values and operate with higher speed while maintaining a compact size and low sensor weight.

The new ILR2250-100 laser distance sensor is designed for industrial measurement tasks that require large measuring ranges. This compact sensor measures distances up to 100 m, and even up to 150 m when used with a reflector film. The integrated AUTO measurement mode enables precise measurement results even on challenging surfaces. The ILR2250-100 is also used for serial applications in logistics and factory automation.
