Press releases of Micro-Epsilon

Micro-Epsilon has developed a new highly dynamic laser sensor for displacement measurements of shiny metal, coarse, and textured surfaces. In contrast to point-type laser models, the measuring point is extended to form a line which helps prevent interferences during measuring.

Micro-Epsilon Messtechnik presents thicknessCONTROL MTS 8202.LLT (CFC), a highly robust thickness measurement system with a C-frame construction for the metalworking sector.

In automotive development, car chassis tests are the basis for safe driving. These checks require sensors that stand up to the challenges of road testing. Fast movements, short distances, limited space and harsh environmental conditions – these are the conditions for which Micro-Epsilon developed the wireSENSOR MP(M) draw-wire sensors.

Measurement technology expert Micro-Epsilon provides intelligent solutions for medical applications, from medical devices to dental research and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

INB Vision AG, a company of the Micro-Epsilon Group, provides the surfaceCONTROL measuring system specifically for recognition of defects on diffuse reflecting surfaces. This system uses structured light projection to help detect and analyze local shape defects, such as indentations or raised areas on surfaces, which may only deviate by micrometres from their target measurements.

Micro-Epsilon has launched a new LVDT sensor, the induSENSOR DTA-XG8, which is ideally suited to high volume serial production. The entire sensor housing is new and has a diameter of 8mm.

In cooperation with Kunststoff-Zentrum SKZ KTT GmbH, Micro-Epsilon has devised a thermography solution for inline quality control of injection-moulding machines.

In September 2007, Micro-Epsilon established collaboration with the BMW plant in Dingolfing, Germany, and the Institute for Software Systems in Technical Informatics Applications of the University of Passau (FORWISS Passau). This new joint research project was based on deflectometry software developed by Micro-Epsilon and Passau University and focused on developing a new optical measuring process for industrial quality control of reflecting surfaces. The Bavarian Research Foundation funded the entire two-year FORSO project.

On 16.01.2012 Micro-Epsilon Messtechnik GmbH &Co. KG, based in Ortenburg, Germany, named a new Board of Management. After 35 years, Dipl.-Ing. Karl Wisspeintner handed the management of the company over to his successor Prof. Dr.-Ing. Martin Sellen who will be responsible for production and development, while recent Deputy CEO Dipl.-Phys. Johann Salzberger will be looking after the company's financial matters.

MICRO-EPSILON Eltrotec introduces colorCONTROL ACS7000, the first online color measuring system. The measuring principle is based on spectral imaging. First, the target is illuminated with white light, then the spectrum of the reflected light is compared to a white reference. The results are used to calculate CIE-xy color coordinates for wavelengths of 390-780 nm.

The latest additions to Micro-Epsilon’s miniature infrared camera range are the thermoIMAGER 400 and 450. These two new models offer extremely high optical resolution of 382x288 pixels.

The new wireSENSOR MK-88 extends the Micro-Epsilon portfolio of ultra-compact draw wire sensors. A low-cost alternative to the aluminum-based standard industrial range, the MK series excels in its compact design, its glass fiber reinforced plastic construction and its particularly low price for large quantities.
