Press releases of Micro-Epsilon

The dimensional accuracy of sheet metal can be checked using a Dimensionics measuring table equipped with precise laser profile sensors from Micro-Epsilon. In an automated process, the sensors check the width, length, angle, straightness, deflection and planarity of the sheet blanks. The entire testing process takes place in just a few seconds.

The new mounting frame with capacitive sensors enables highly accurate measurements for two-sided thickness measurements. By mounting the sensors opposite each other, they are aligned exactly along one axis. This ensures maximum precision, which is required for applications in the battery and semiconductor industries, among others.

The scanCONTROL 3000 laser scanners are now even more versatile. As a rear-tail version, they have a rear cable outlet including integrated cable. This reduces the space required to install the scanner by half. In addition, a new protective housing is available that offers connections for air purging as well as liquid cooling, optimizing the laser scanners for measurements in harsh industrial environments.

The sensor systems of the colorCONTROL MFA series take over the color, intensity and function control of LEDs, displays and other self-illuminators. They are also used for LED testing of electronic assemblies. The receiver sensors can be placed flexibly in relation to the objects and achieve high repeatability, measuring rate and dynamics. One controller can test up to 28 measuring points simultaneously.

The inductive induSENSOR DTD gauge is designed for series solutions in machine building and automation. The new sensor system consists of a compact gauge and a robust cable controller. Its high accuracy and robust design make the induSENSOR DTD ideal for industrial measurement tasks.

In the wafer production, precise sensors are used for cross-process monitoring of machine movements in numerous process steps, for sub-micrometer positioning and geometric wafer measurements. Micro-Epsilon has been working with leading manufacturers in the semiconductor industry for many years and offers a high-performance sensor portfolio that is not only used in semiconductor lithography machines, but throughout the entire manufacturing process.

Measuring the workpiece position in grinding machines involves the position measurement of the crankshaft with micrometer precision using eddy current-based inductive sensors. These sensors are perfectly suitable for measurements in harsh, industrial environments as they are insensitive to oil, dirt, high pressure and high temperatures.

Mills CNC uses Micro-Epsilon laser sensors for the automatic inspection of large, hot-rolled railway fishplates made of steel. These fishplates join two rails together and must be as straight and flat ...

For the 3D measurement of suspension springs, Qsigma GmbH has developed the precise Spring Measurement System. With this system, springs with different properties can be tested in a very short time. For this purpose, scanCONTROL laser profile scanners are used, which are moved horizontally and vertically. The measurement system offers an efficient and economical complete solution for reliable inspection.

For precision measurements in battery cell production, new optoNCDT 1900-6 and 1900-6LL laser sensors are used. They measure the thickness of coated battery films.

Micro-Epsilon has extended its product range of capacitive displacement sensors with the capaNCDT CSE01 and CSE025 models. With a diameter of just 3 mm and a length of 15.6 mm, the CSE01 is one of the smallest triaxial sensors in the world. Equipped with an integrated cable, this compact sensor can also be integrated where installation space is at a premium.

The sensor specialist Micro-Epsilon recently opened the new production center for micromechatronics at its headquarters in Germany. Miniature mechatronic systems for semiconductor machine design and aerospace applications are manufactured there. This allows the growing demand for high-tech products from these key industries to be further served.
