Press releases of Micro-Epsilon

optoNCDT 1220 laser sensors are used to position automated guided vehicles and autonomous mobile robots without collisions. The sensors measure the distance to a code tape, which enables precise positioning of the autonomous vehicle.

Carbon ribbons are used for interior components but also in the construction of aircraft. To produce narrow carbon strips, wide belts are cut into individual strips and spooled onto rolls. To monitor the manufacturing process, precise optoCONTROL 2520 micrometers are used. These are designed for dynamic measurement tasks in industrial areas.

Micro-Epsilon sensors reliably measure and monitor essential parameters for tracks and in railroad traffic, making a major contribution to improved safety and smoother processes. They are used both in the train and in the measurement wagon, in testing systems and in measuring machines.

The compact confocalDT IFD2410 and IFD2415 sensors represent a new generation of confocal sensors. These compact sensor systems have an integrated controller, which significantly simplifies installation. Several measuring ranges and accuracy classes open up a wide range of measurement tasks, e.g., for series use in coordinate measuring machines, for inline thickness monitoring of flat glass and for testing electronic components. With measuring rates up to 25 kHz, even dynamic measurements can be performed reliably.

The high-performance optoCONTROL CLS1000 fiber optic sensors precisely measure position, distance and size in automated production processes. The measuring system is available in five different versions, enabling the fiber optic sensors to be adapted to different application requirements. Commissioning is easy via the control panel, OLED display and numerous teach-in modes.

Equipped with the integrated EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP and PROFINET interfaces, the optoNCDT 1900 laser triangulation sensors are now smarter, faster and easier to operate. They combine a high measuring rate with compact size, integrated controller and high measurement accuracy. Commissioning takes even less time thanks to mounting accessories and intuitive operating concept via web interface.

When finishing polyamide plastic by extrusion and strand pelletizing, absolute color fidelity is necessary to achieve high quality. Micro-Epsilon colorSENSOR CFO sensors are used for reliable color inspection of the granulate. To save resources and costs, this test is carried out very early in the process.

The dimensionCONTROL Metal Profile Gauge offers new possibilities for process control and quality assurance in metal production. The system performs precise geometrical inspection of long products in harsh industrial environments. The respective sensor technology can be freely chosen which also allows the system to be perfectly adapted to every application. In addition, the system is available with water cooling. The dimensionCONTROL system generates real 3D measurements and offers a comprehensive software package for monitoring and optimizing production.

With the new subsidiary in Seongnam-si, Micro-Epsilon strengthens its presence in Asia. The leading supplier of high quality sensor products now provides direct application support for Korean customers. Micro-Epsilon ...

To minimize the risk of fire during battery assembly, drive batteries are already checked for thermal anomalies during incoming goods inspection. The high-resolution thermal imaging camera thermoIMAGER TIM QVGA is used for this purpose. An alarm is triggered when the temperature is exceeded. This allows defective battery packs to be sorted out at an early stage.

A powerful computer unit is now available for Micro-Epsilon's 3D sensor portfolio in the form of the Industrial Performance Unit (IPU). The system consists of a powerful industrial controller and the 3DInspect evaluation software and enables the automated evaluation of 3D data.

The JMA-Thickness mounting adapters align confocal chromatic sensors as well as interferometers from Micro-Epsilon with absolute precision for two-sided thickness measurements. This makes the results even more accurate and the measuring points can be aligned congruently by fine adjustment.
