Press releases of Micro-Epsilon

The new IF2008/ETH interface module integrates several Micro-Epsilon sensors into the production process. Up to eight sensors and/or encoders with RS422 interfaces can be connected to an Ethernet network. The ...

colorSENSOR CFO True Color sensors combine high color accuracy, modern interfaces and intuitive operation. They are used for high precision measurement tasks in the industry and can be integrated via a gateway into BUS environments.

In order to detect free forms and form deviations before the laser processing stage, a scanCONTROL laser scanner from Micro-Epsilon scans the corresponding components. If required by the component geometry, ...

The optoCONTROL 2520-95 precision micrometer is designed for static and dynamic measurement tasks with a large measuring range. It detects geometrical parameters such as diameter, gap, height and position. The precision micrometer combines high linearity with high measurement speed and is used for applications in almost any industry.

The capaNCDT CST6110 capacitive measuring system detects speed from the first rotation. This robust sensor system measures rotational speeds up to 400,000 rpm in drives, on rotor blades and position marks on shafts.

The capaNCDT DT61x4 is an active, capacitive system for displacement, distance and position measurements in industrial applications. It includes an active sensor and integrated preamplifier and enables long cable connections up to 15m.

The new IF2030/ENETIP interface module easily connects sensors to Ethernet/IP control systems. It supports data rates up to 4 Mbaud and can be integrated into control cabinets via a DIN rail. Numerous sensors from Micro-Epsilon are compatible with this module.

Displacement and distance measurements on highly reflective surfaces such as plastics, mirrored glass or metals require special laser sensors such as the optoNCDT 1750DR. This sensor generates stable signals due to the real-time surface compensation feature which enables the exposure time to be controlled. Its compact design with integrated controller allows the installation even in restricted installation spaces.

wireSENSOR WPS-K100 draw-wire sensors measure displacements and distances in industrial environments. The two new models offer measuring ranges of 1500 and 2500 mm. Their robust design combined with an excellent price/performance ratio means they are ideally suited to OEM and series applications.

The mainSENSOR measuring principle from Micro-Epsilon unites the advantages of two sensor types. Based on the combination of inductive sensors and magnetic sensors, reliable and durable sensor solutions for displacement, distance and rotational speed measurements have evolved. In particular, magneto-inductive sensors are used as alternatives to inductive sensors and proximity sensors in process automation, the packaging industry and in machine monitoring. Their favorable price/performance ratio makes them specially suitable for serial applications.

It is essential that the “width” and “height” of the cable tie strap, as well as the “tooth pitch” are monitored concurrently and constantly during the production of the continuous loop straps. These values are crucial to ensure a consistently good and reliable binding result. HellermannTyton GmbH therefore relies on a solution from ISW GmbH that uses a Micro-Epsilon sensor system to monitor the parameters.

In order to protect PCBs from environmental influences such as humidity, they are coated with a protective clear varnish. This ensures error-free operation. The automotive industry in particular demands a minimum thickness for this protective coating. Up to now, it was not possible to perform a measurement without destroying the target. Confocal sensors from Micro-Epsilon solve this measurement task without making contact with the target and therefore in a non-destructive manner. They provide the thickness values in real time.
