Press releases of Micro-Epsilon
When cutting fabrics, optoCONTROL CLS-K fiber optic sensors from Micro-Epsilon determine the exact position of the fabric strip. Therefore, a sensor is mounted directly on one of the cutting blades and recognizes when the fabric is in the cutting position. The fiber optic sensors used optimize the cutting accuracy and the quality of the final products, while reducing waste and machine errors.
Press releaseIn 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.
Press releaseThe powerful True Color CFO sensors from Micro-Epsilon are designed for high precision color measurements. With the firmware update 1.4.20, the CFO200 models can now be operated at a measurement frequency of up to 30 kHz. The web interface presents a new, modern design. In addition to other new functions, the user now benefits from a multiview orthographic projection of the color spaces.
Press releaseThe new, confocal chromatic confocalDT IFS2405-6 sensor is used for high precision displacement and thickness measurements on diffuse, reflecting and transparent materials. The new model completes the IFS series with a measuring range of 6 mm. The complete confocalDT IFS series covers measuring ranges from 0.1 to 30 mm.
Press releaseThe optoNCDT 1220 from Micro-Epsilon is a laser sensor with an attractive price/performance ratio, high measurement accuracy and ease of use. Suitable for OEM and serial applications in automation technology, this miniature sensor with integrated controller measures displacement, distance and position on a wide range of surfaces.
Press releaseInductive eddyNCDT displacement sensors (eddy current) are used to monitor gaps in aluminum die-casting processes. These precision sensors from Micro-Epsilon increase the service life of the tools involved and product quality, while rejects and expenses are reduced. Their robust sensor design also enables gap measurements in harsh ambient conditions.
Press releaseThe confocal confocalDT IFS2407-0,1 sensor opens up new fields of application in precision, confocal displacement and thickness measurements. Resolutions up to 3 nm enable this compact sensor to perform measurements at the highest accuracies. The sensor copes with large tilt angles while offering a small light spot size of 3 µm, which enables high precision roughness measurements. Minimum material thickness for thickness measurements of transparent materials is just 5 µm.
Press releaseNEW: Worldwide smallest draw-wire sensor
The world’s smallest draw-wire sensor enhances the Micro-Epsilon product range. With a weight of only 8 g and a size of just 19 x 19 mm, the wireSENSOR MT19 is used for displacement and distance measurements with a measuring range of 40 mm. This highly dynamic sensor is extremely compact and enables wire accelerations up to 60 g. The new MT series from Micro-Epsilon also includes the MT33 and MT56 draw-wire sensors, which stand out due to an ultra-compact design relative to their measuring ranges.
Press releaseThe 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.
Press releaseFully 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.
Press releaseThe 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.
Press releaseThe capaNCDT 61x0/IP capacitive displacement measuring system is suitable for inline quality assurance of production processes, and for control of plant and machinery. Protected to IP68, this measuring system is therefore suitable for many industrial measurement tasks. Fluctuating temperatures and magnetic fields are no match for this capacitive system.
