Press releases of Micro-Epsilon

6 cylinders, 4 racing teams and 1 world champion title – the past Formula 1 season turned out to be very successful for Renault. Micro-Epsilon supplies the French car giant with sensors for engine development and was invited to Paris in order to celebrate the success.

Micro-Epsilon has developed the new induSENSOR EDS-28-G-CA-U, specifically for measurement applications in small hydraulic cylinders made from titanium or stainless steel. With a weight of 13 g and a size of 56 mm, the eddy current sensor is extremely robust and temperature-resistant.

The new eddy current-based sensor system measures the rotational speed of turbochargers in bench and field tests. turboSPEED DZ140 is optimized for thin turbine blades made from aluminum or titanium. The system is thermally stable and very well protected from external interference.

Two new sensor models have been added to the product range of laser profile scanners for gap measurements: gapCONTROL 2611 and 2911 have compact designs and extended functionality.

The new optoCONTROL 2520 laser micrometer with integrated controller has an extremely compact design. Operators can choose a maximum distance of 2 metres between transmitter and receiver. The measurement object can be placed anywhere within the light curtain that is projected between transmitter and receiver. The convenient Ethernet-based web interface simplifies operation, integration and remote access during the manufacturing process.

The Bavarian sensor specialist Micro-Epsilon celebrates its 45th anniversary. Since it was established in 1968, a three-man operation has become a global group of companies that develops and produces high-precision sensors and measurement systems.

Whether a lab PC or company laptop – even computers without the RS422 industrial interface can now evaluate readings from laser and confocal sensors from Micro-Epsilon. A 4-channel RS422/USB converter ...

With its cut-off frequency of 100,000Hz, the optoNCDT 1630 laser sensor from Micro-Epsilon is one of the fastest on the market. The new displacement sensor is a particularly good choice for vibration measurements, crash tests and inspection systems for vibrating components.

At this year’s International Trade Fair for Plastics and Rubber „K“ in Düsseldorf Micro-Epsilon presents various measurement solutions for the plastics industry.

The idiamCONTROL permits precise planning of the maintenance intervals or replacement intervals of the individual extruder housing parts.

For the continuous color control in the production line a color measurement system has been developed by Micro-Epsilon. The new system does not only recognize the saved colors according to the yes-no-principle but also determines the exact color of the components spectrophotometrically. With a precision that exceeds the human eye, and a measuring rate of 2000 Hz the system is variously used in the plastics industry.

At the end of 2012, Micro-Epsilon launched the capaNCDT 6200 capacitive measuring system that can be extended by up to four measurement channels using demodulators. A new addition is the DL 6230 demodulator, which provides up to 8 times higher resolution for reaching even higher performance levels.
