Press releases of Micro-Epsilon

Foam cutting machines must ensure a constant cutting quality, which requires among other things a perfect condition of the cutting blades. Laser profile scanners from Micro-Epsilon are used to test the knife sharpness.

The eddyNCDT ES-U1-T and ES-U3-T displacement sensors are new to the Micro-Epsilon portfolio. Both sensor types can be fastened via clamping. This offers several advantages: the sensors are not subject to torsional stress, the clamping point minimizes the thermal expansion in the measuring direction and high temperature stability is achieved.

The thermoIMAGER TIM41 thermal imaging camera is designed for demanding industrial serial applications. Accurate temperature measurements are possible in a range from -20 °C to +900 °C. Focusing is performed via an integrated motorized focus. Automatic monitoring of hot and cold spots is also possible.

Automated crane systems must be controlled reliably and extremely precisely. This is the only way to achieve a fast, safe and efficient material flow. Modern control units frequently use measurement values obtained from Micro-Epsilon laser distance sensors which are designed for large distances and fast distance changes.

Confocal chromatic sensors are used for distance and thickness measurements where the highest accuracy and signal stability are required. They offer state-of-the-art technology allied with high speed and ...

Computer chips are manufactured in large quantities on a wafer. On the chips there are countless small, spherical contact surfaces, so-called bumps. These must be of a uniform height in order to function properly when stacked later. Confocal sensors from Micro-Epsilon determine the height of the wafer bumps with micrometer precision in the production line.

The 3D snapshot sensor surfaceCONTROL 3D 3200 is the right choice for precise geometry, shape and surface measurements on matt surfaces. The sensor has been developed for automated inline quality inspection. Its high z-axis repeatability allows the smallest flatness deviations and height differences to be reliably detected.

Demanding automation tasks such as automotive production, 3D printing and robotics applications can be solved with the highest precision using optoNCDT 1900 laser sensors. The latest models provide information on displacement, distance and position and ensure an even wider variety of applications. They are ideal for measurements tasks that require compact high precision sensors with a fast measuring rate.

Capacitive sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used for precise displacement measurements as well as non-contact thickness measurements. They achieve submicron accuracy even in industrial environments. Therefore, they are used for production monitoring of battery film.

The optoNCDT ILR2250 laser distance sensors from Micro-Epsilon can now also be integrated in automation systems via IO-Link. The advantages are easy handling and high flexibility. The sensors ensure gapless ...

For fully automated inline inspection of unpopulated PCBs, 3D snapshot sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used. Unlike conventional test systems such as microscopes, they are more cost-efficient and work significantly faster. For high-end ceramics substrates, manufacturing tolerances up to 2 µm apply which can be monitored using surfaceCONTROL sensors.

The IMP-TH70 sensor for the IMS5400 white light interferometer measures the thickness of glass and film with a resolution of < 1 nm. With 70 mm, this sensor offers a working distance of around ...
