Press releases of Micro-Epsilon

The performance of the scanCONTROL 3000 scanners has been increased: improved algorithms and compo-nents accelerate data acquisition and output to up to 10 million measuring points per second. The profile cal-culation and evaluation speed of the SMART sensors is increased by up to 60%. Two new models complete the scanner portfolio with measuring ranges of 430 mm and 600 mm.

The IMS5420-TH white light interferometer opens up new perspectives in industrial thickness measurement of monocrystalline silicon wafers. Due to its broadband superluminescent diode (SLED), the IMS5420-TH can be used for undoped, doped and highly doped SI wafers. The thickness measuring range extends from 0.05 up to 1.05 mm. The measurable thickness of air gaps is even up to 4 mm.

The draw-wire displacement sensors of the wireSENSOR MK88 and K100 series can now detect even larger measuring ranges. They are now also equipped with a CANopen interface. Draw-wire displacement sensors are used especially in the field of mobile machinery. The new models open up new metrological application possi-bilities. Thanks to the excellent price-performance ratio, these sensors are ideal for series applications.

The new optoNCDT ILR1171-125 laser distance sensor is used for distance measurements up to 270 m and particularly impresses in outdoor measurements. Thanks to the time-of-flight principle and a high measuring rate of up to 40 kHz, this robust sensor achieves a high signal strength and thus delivers stable and precise results even in fog and rain. The high temperature stability allows applications at temperatures from -40 °C to +60 °C. Due to its compact dimensions, the sensor can also be integrated into confined installation spaces.

If the installation requires measurements at a large distance, long-range laser sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used. The new optoNCDT 1760-1000 measures accurately even at distances up to 2 m and, at the same time, quickly at up to 7.5 kHz. This sensor also features real-time surface compensation that enables accurate results on a wide range of surfaces.

For displacement and distance measurements at ambient temperatures up to +800 °C, Micro-Epsilon now offers the robust, capacitive capaNCDT 6228 sensor system. Its high temperature stability and exceptionally high linearity enables precise results even in challenging ambient conditions.

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.

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.

All scanCONTROL laser scanners from Micro-Epsilon are now compatible with Cognex VisionPro via the AIK adapter. This provides more flexibility and easier connectivity options.

Medication packaging must be properly labeled. Imprinted are serialization data, the bar code and additional information. The correct positioning of the label is also important. If these imprints and the position are incorrect, the medication cannot be dispensed at the pharmacy. Therefore, smart colorSENSOR CFO100 sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used for absolutely reliable label inspection. They deliver 100% quality control and ensure smooth operations.

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.
