Press releases of Micro-Epsilon

The sensor systems of the colorCONTROL MFA series take over the color, intensity and function control of LEDs, displays and other self-illuminators. They are also used for LED testing of electronic assemblies. The receiver sensors can be placed flexibly in relation to the objects and achieve high repeatability, measuring rate and dynamics. One controller can test up to 28 measuring points simultaneously.

The inductive induSENSOR DTD gauge is designed for series solutions in machine building and automation. The new sensor system consists of a compact gauge and a robust cable controller. Its high accuracy and robust design make the induSENSOR DTD ideal for industrial measurement tasks.

In the wafer production, precise sensors are used for cross-process monitoring of machine movements in numerous process steps, for sub-micrometer positioning and geometric wafer measurements. Micro-Epsilon has been working with leading manufacturers in the semiconductor industry for many years and offers a high-performance sensor portfolio that is not only used in semiconductor lithography machines, but throughout the entire manufacturing process.

The smart and precise CFO100 colorSENSORs from Micro-Epsilon impress in liquid turbidity measurements with their high color accuracy and repeatability. During the textile dyeing process, for example, they continuously detect the water color, which allows conclusions to be drawn about the color concentration present.

Measuring the workpiece position in grinding machines involves the position measurement of the crankshaft with micrometer precision using eddy current-based inductive sensors. These sensors are perfectly suitable for measurements in harsh, industrial environments as they are insensitive to oil, dirt, high pressure and high temperatures.

Mills CNC uses Micro-Epsilon laser sensors for the automatic inspection of large, hot-rolled railway fishplates made of steel. These fishplates join two rails together and must be as straight and flat ...

For the 3D measurement of suspension springs, Qsigma GmbH has developed the precise Spring Measurement System. With this system, springs with different properties can be tested in a very short time. For this purpose, scanCONTROL laser profile scanners are used, which are moved horizontally and vertically. The measurement system offers an efficient and economical complete solution for reliable inspection.

For precision measurements in battery cell production, new optoNCDT 1900-6 and 1900-6LL laser sensors are used. They measure the thickness of coated battery films.

Micro-Epsilon has extended its product range of capacitive displacement sensors with the capaNCDT CSE01 and CSE025 models. With a diameter of just 3 mm and a length of 15.6 mm, the CSE01 is one of the smallest triaxial sensors in the world. Equipped with an integrated cable, this compact sensor can also be integrated where installation space is at a premium.

The sensor specialist Micro-Epsilon recently opened the new production center for micromechatronics at its headquarters in Germany. Miniature mechatronic systems for semiconductor machine design and aerospace applications are manufactured there. This allows the growing demand for high-tech products from these key industries to be further served.

Measurement technology being used in numerous manufacturing steps in battery production must respond to extremely high requirements in terms of accuracy, performance and robustness. Therefore, high precision distance sensors, laser scanners and sensor systems from Micro-Epsilon are the preferred choice in precise coating thickness measurements, among other things.

Micro-Epsilon’s scanCONTROL 30xx laser profile scanners now offer a 5 times higher performance based on the new firmware V53. The exposure time has been optimized which enables significantly faster 2D/3D profile measurements.
