In cold forming processes, deep drawing is considered a decisive step in the production process. optoNCDT 1420 laser triangulation sensors measure the metal sheet infeed during pressing, as this parameter is crucial for the quality assessment of the process. Due to their robust design, these sensors are insensitive to shock and vibration. Based on innovative sensor technology, the measured results are constantly precise even under challenging conditions such as parts with different reflection characteristics.

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 ...

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.

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.

The product range of the new optoNCDT 1750 laser sensors from Micro-Epsilon has been extended with new measuring ranges of 500mm and 750mm. With these additional models, the laser sensor can now be applied in fast, high precision measurement tasks that require large measuring ranges. Very small objects can be detected due to the small light spot size.

The compact optoNCDT 1750 laser sensor is designed for displacement and distance measurements, while offering triple the speed, improved repeatability by a factor of two, and an increase in linearity of 25% compared to its predecessor. The combination of enhanced performance and a wide range of features result in a sensor that takes a leading role in its class.

The eddyNCDT 3060 inductive measurement system is based on eddy currents and enables fast, precise displacement measurements. More than 400 sensor models can be combined with the eddyNCDT 3060. Based on ease of use and smart signal processing, this non-contact system defines a new performance class in inductive displacement measurement.

Micro-Epsilon offers modern sensor technologies for application solutions optimized according to customers’ specifications. Our precise 3D sensor technology measures quantities such as displacement, distance, position, color and temperature, but also implements 3D inspection of mat and shiny surfaces.

wireSENSOR WPS-MK miniature draw-wire sensors are specially designed for high volume serial applications. Despite its very compact design, small measuring ranges up to 7500mm can be detected. The user benefits from favorable prices and compact sensor dimensions, therefore gaining new potential in design and cost optimization.

Measuring tasks in the glass industry are often a huge challenge for sensors. The new confocal chromatic confocalDT 2421 / 2422 controllers ensure reliable, high speed and high precision distance and thickness measurements on reflecting and transparent objects. The automatic exposure control allows stable measurements regardless of the glass color.

The powerful eddyNCDT 3001 eddy current sensors are now also available with an M18 housing and measuring ranges of 6mm and 8mm. This enlargement provides the sensors with increased flexibility in terms of their potential applications. These temperature-compensated sensors deliver fast and precise results for a wide range of applications in all industries. Even in harsh environments where high pressures, dirt and oil are present, high precision measurements of displacement, distance and position are still possible.
