Press releases of Micro-Epsilon

Racing cars from the Tuning Akademie Ingolstadt not only come with an immense horsepower but also include measurement technology provided by Micro-Epsilon. The laser-optical distance sensors optimize vehicle performance through their high precision measurements. 2015 was a successful season for the Tuning Akademie racing team. In a 24h race at the Nürburgring, the racing team won the world championship in the category VIII class of alternative drive concepts.

The optoCONTROL 2600 has been enhanced with some important new options. These make the high resolution LED micrometer from the high performance Micro-Epsilon series even more flexible in terms of its use. As well as the maximum working distance, the distance between the light source and the receiver have been enlarged, while retaining high precision measurements. Furthermore, a lateral cable output is now available for this model.

Functional and optically perfect - these are two important requirements placed on airbag stitching. During the production process itself, these stitches are inspected using a scanCONTROL 2910-25 laser profile scanner. The distance between the stitching and the separating point between single components, as well as the height difference between both components are detected.

The scanCONTROL 29xx-10/BL is a new product from sensor technology specialist Micro-Epsilon. Equipped with Micro-Epsilon’s Blue Laser technology, this model provides an effective measuring range of just 10mm with a profile resolution of 1280 points which is why this sensor measures even smallest components with high precision.

The scanCONTROL Configuration Tools software enables the set up and configuration of the SMART laser profile scanners. The latest version 4.2 provides a number of new features for users, including the ability to freely rotate and position profile views. Furthermore, measurement results can be connected logically to one another, enabling the simultaneous evaluation of different sizes.

The new optoNCDT 1420 laser triangulation sensors from sensor specialist Micro-Epsilon are in a class of their own. The Smart sensor concept with integrated web interface and compact size is unique worldwide. The excellent price/performance ratio also makes these sensors particularly attractive.

The new, compact optoNCDT 1320 triangulation sensor from sensor specialist Micro-Epsilon offers maximum precision in a minimum of space. Due to its low weight combined with compact size, the optoNCDT 1320 can be easily integrated into restricted installation spaces and is ideally suitable for dynamic applications.

The new catalog for "compact thermal imaging cameras" is now available and includes all current thermoIMAGER TIM models. The range has even increased with many new products.

The thermoIMAGER TIM M1 is particularly suitable for hot metal applications. Compact, short-wave and highly dynamic are the three key attributes that describe this infrared camera.

Equipped with a scanCONTROL laser scanner from Micro-Epsilon, a special vehicle inspects the inside of a pipeline for deformations and cracks. This mobile device is used in harsh environmental conditions and high ambient temperatures, e.g. in the middle of the desert and is ideally suited to automatic inspection and recording of measured data.

Micro-Epsilon presents the new, confocal chromatic sensors for the confocalDT measurement system. The IFS2406 series stands out due to its compact design and high precision. As well as for distance measurements at submicrometer accuracies, the sensor is suitable for the one-sided thickness measurement of different materials.

The eddyNCDT 3005 from Micro-Epsilon is a new, powerful eddy current measurement system for fast, high precision displacement measurements. Due to its pressure-resistant, thermally stable and compact design, the eddyNCDT 3005 is ideal for machine integration.
