Press releases of Micro-Epsilon

The thicknessCONTROL MTS 820x and MTS 920x thickness measuring systems from Micro-Epsilon offer a new and efficient solution for measurement tasks in hot rolling mills. They enable high precision measurements on thick and thin materials and are considered more precise and efficient than X-ray devices.

In numerous industrial processes, high precision temperature control is required to achieve high and consistent quality results. Modern infrared temperature measuring devices detect hot objects, parts that are difficult to access and that move quickly. From a safe distance, these thermoIMAGER TIM infrared cameras detect temperature profiles of, e.g., glass, metals and very fine details on PCBs.

The scanCONTROL 3060-25/BL laser profile scanners set a new performance level in precision profile measurements. Their innovative technology makes them ideally suited to measurement tasks in automation environments with high requirements in terms of precision and speed. Based on the innovative Blue Laser Technology, these sensors achieve high accuracies. In addition, the new High Dynamic Range mode enables precise results even on demanding surfaces.

The capaNCDT MD6-22 from Micro-Epsilon is a capacitive measuring device designed for mobile, high precision gap and distance measurements. Robust but lightweight, this dual-channel handheld gauge is used for commissioning, service and maintenance. It’s easy to use and simplifies the storage of measured values for evaluation purposes.

Designed for applications involving high volumes, the new wireSENSOR WPS-Kxx draw-wire displacement sensors measure distance and position precisely. The K series combines high performance sensors for indoor and outdoor applications with an excellent price/performance ratio. Due to their modular design, the sensors can be adapted quickly and easily to the respective measurement task.

When cutting fabrics, optoCONTROL CLS-K fiber optic sensors from Micro-Epsilon determine the exact position of the fabric strip. Therefore, a sensor is mounted directly on one of the cutting blades and recognizes when the fabric is in the cutting position. The fiber optic sensors used optimize the cutting accuracy and the quality of the final products, while reducing waste and machine errors.

In cold forming processes, deep drawing is considered a decisive step in the production process. optoNCDT 1420 laser triangulation sensors measure the metal sheet infeed during pressing, as this parameter is crucial for the quality assessment of the process. Due to their robust design, these sensors are insensitive to shock and vibration. Based on innovative sensor technology, the measured results are constantly precise even under challenging conditions such as parts with different reflection characteristics.

The powerful True Color CFO sensors from Micro-Epsilon are designed for high precision color measurements. With the firmware update 1.4.20, the CFO200 models can now be operated at a measurement frequency of up to 30 kHz. The web interface presents a new, modern design. In addition to other new functions, the user now benefits from a multiview orthographic projection of the color spaces.

The new, confocal chromatic confocalDT IFS2405-6 sensor is used for high precision displacement and thickness measurements on diffuse, reflecting and transparent materials. The new model completes the IFS series with a measuring range of 6 mm. The complete confocalDT IFS series covers measuring ranges from 0.1 to 30 mm.

The optoNCDT 1220 from Micro-Epsilon is a laser sensor with an attractive price/performance ratio, high measurement accuracy and ease of use. Suitable for OEM and serial applications in automation technology, this miniature sensor with integrated controller measures displacement, distance and position on a wide range of surfaces.

Inductive eddyNCDT displacement sensors (eddy current) are used to monitor gaps in aluminum die-casting processes. These precision sensors from Micro-Epsilon increase the service life of the tools involved and product quality, while rejects and expenses are reduced. Their robust sensor design also enables gap measurements in harsh ambient conditions.

The confocal confocalDT IFS2407-0,1 sensor opens up new fields of application in precision, confocal displacement and thickness measurements. Resolutions up to 3 nm enable this compact sensor to perform measurements at the highest accuracies. The sensor copes with large tilt angles while offering a small light spot size of 3 µm, which enables high precision roughness measurements. Minimum material thickness for thickness measurements of transparent materials is just 5 µm.
