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.

Precision sensor manufacturer Micro-Epsilon has extended its confocal sensor system portfolio with the new, innovative high performance series, confocalDT IFD2410 and the confocalDT IFD2415.

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.

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.

Inductive sensors from Micro-Epsilon are based on the eddy current principle and designed for non-contact measurement of displacement, distance, position, oscillation and vibrations.

Micro-Epsilon has extended its product range of capacitive displacement sensors with the capaNCDT CSE01 and CSE025 models. With a diameter of just 3 mm and a length of 15.6 mm, the CSE01 is one of the smallest triaxial sensors in the world.

Mills CNC uses Micro-Epsilon laser sensors for the automatic inspection of large, hot-rolled railway fishplates made of steel. These fishplates join two rails together and must be as straight and flat as possible.

Laser profile scanners from Micro-Epsilon perform true 3D measurements based on calibrated data. TU-Darmstadt already uses this technology. The powerful 3D sensors of the scanCONTROL 2900 series perform high-resolution measurements of muscle mass or bones in combination with camera systems.

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.

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.
