Press releases of Micro-Epsilon
The European Southern Observatory (ESO) based in Garching, Germany, relies on high precision displacement measurement from Micro-Epsilon for a project to build the world’s largest mirror telescope in Chile which also involves the French cooperation partner Fogale. The inductive sensor systems used for displacement measurement are the most precise ever used in a telescope. They determine the position of each single mirror segment in three axes to nanometer accuracy.
Press releaseThe reflectCONTROL Automotive automatic paint defect inspection system has experienced a global breakthrough with leading automotive groups. The inspection of shiny surfaces using this system is easy, fast and safe. From a complete chassis to a single painted part, small defects can be reliably recognized inline, enabling 100% control.
Press releaseThe thicknessSENSOR is particularly well suited to precision measurement of narrow strips. This compact sensor system from Micro-Epsilon extends the C-frame product range for thickness measurement. The sensor provides extremely high precision results combined with ease of use and a compact design. The measurement process is performed on a non-contact, wear-free basis.
Press releaseThe new, confocal industry standard
The confocalDT 2421 and 2422 controllers open up new possibilities in precision distance and thickness measurement on different surfaces. The two-channel variant is an innovation whereby two confocal sensors are connected to a controller.
Press releaseThe confocalDT 2471 HS high-speed controller offers improved measurement characteristics, enhanced optical components and an integrated light source. Providing a measuring rate of 70kHz, it is currently the worldwide fastest confocal chromatic controller without external light source.
Press releaseRobust miniature eddy current sensor
The eddyNCDT 3001 is a new, efficient eddy current sensor whose compact dimensions have to date only been reserved for inductive sensors and proximity sensors. This compact sensor is housed in a M12 body and comes with integrated electronics including temperature compensation, offering an outstanding price/performance ratio, as well as easy operation.
Press releaseMagneto-inductive sensors combine the advantages of both inductive and magnetic sensors. The mainSENSOR operates on a patented measuring principle developed by Micro-Epsilon.
Press releaseoptoNCDT 1420 now with laser class 1
The optoNCDT 1420 laser triangulation sensors are now also available with laser class 1. With this laser class, the radiated power is at a maximum of 390µW. Therefore, costly protective measures that correlate with laser class 2 sensors are no longer necessary.
Press releaseThe laser line of only 10mm enables the scanCONTROL 29xx-10/BL laser scanner to detect finest details. In the electronics production, the profile sensor is used for versatile monitoring tasks requiring maximum precision together with high profile resolution.
Press releaseThe thermoIMAGER G7 is an industrial thermal imaging camera specially designed for applications in the glass industry. The spectral range of 7.9µm enables reliable measurements even on thin glass sheets without unwanted transmission loss.
Press releaseWith the thicknessCONTROL UTS 8X02.K, Micro-Epsilon has launched a C-frame shaped thickness measurement system based on the confocal measuring principle for the first time. It solves new measurement tasks in the plastics industry which have not been practicable using the previous systems. It demonstrates its strengths particularly on transparent and semi-transparent strip materials.
Press releasereflectCONTROL Automation is designed specifically to meet the increasing quality requirements in production and reliably detects smallest defects on shiny surfaces. It is used for high speed inspection of shiny and painted parts, e.g. car interior parts. The sensor is mounted on a robot and is therefore also able to inspect parts with complex geometries.
