Press releases of Micro-Epsilon

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 ...

In the automotive industry, attachments are usually manufactured by different suppliers. However, the car color and the painted attachments must have exactly the same color shade. Different component surfaces and reflections with shiny metallic paints are a challenge for this measurement task.

The adjustable mounting adapter for confocal sensors and interferometers greatly simplifies positioning of these sensors. The mounting adapter offers four significant advantages. It compensates for misalignment of the measuring object, enables subsequent and rapid correction of the sensor position, as well as maximum measurement accuracy while reducing the mounting effort to one cycle.

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.

Modern sensors monitor numerous process steps in battery production. One of these production steps is the initial charging and discharging of battery cells. Thermal imaging cameras from Micro-Epsilon provide important information here about the temperature distribution and possible short circuits.

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.
