Confocal chromatic sensors are used to check the surface topography of dental samples. These sensors are distinguished by their high resolution and independence from the type of material surface involved. The desired area on the object being…

Gelatin is often used in the shell of soft capsules. For the 100% thickness measurement of the conductive gelatine layer, capacitive displacement sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used, which provide non-contact and precise thickness values. …

In the manufacture and quality assurance of medical products, the thickness of tubes and membranes as well as the wall thickness of balloons are measured. Confocal chromatic sensors are used which measure the thickness or layers of transparent…

Surgical procedures require a perfect view of the operating area. Here, the surgeon is often supported by a surgical microscope. To enable the surgeon to best position the microscope and to give the surgical team more room to move, the microscope…

The narrow beam path enables the confocal sensors to measure in recesses. With the confocal measuring principle, measurements on liquids are possible, e.g. for precise filling level control in trays. …

For optimal measurement of organic material, Micro-Epsilon offers the patented Blue Laser technology. With blue laser, significantly more precise measurement values can be generated on organic materials than would be possible with red laser. In…

In microbiology, cell cultures are used for the analysis of so-called agar plates. When producing this culture medium, liquid agar-agar is filled into plastic Petri dishes, where it hardens and forms a gel-like, transparent layer. Capacitive…

In the latest CT equipment, the most effective diagnoses are determined by how precise and fast the measurement systems are (speed and resolution), as well as their cost effectiveness. Irrespective of whether spiral, helical or dual source…

Operating tables provide many adjustment options for the correct positioning of the patient during the operation. As well as the height, the horizontal position and angle functions can also often be adjusted. As the positioning is performed…

For the measurement of a position, e.g. the movement of a patient couch, draw-wire displacement sensors are used. As positioning tasks typically require only medium accuracy, sensors with potentiometer outputs are suitable here. Extremely precise…

According to ISO 18084:2011, the press tools for the tablet production are subject to a continuous quality control. Due to complex geometry and a strongly reflecting surface, automatic inspection of stamps and dies has been difficult. Only the…

In pharmaceutical tablet production different ingredients are used. Changing the concentration of these ingredients affects the colour of the tablet. The colorCONTROL ACS7000 inline colour measuring system measures finely-graded colour shades…

Press tools for the tablet production are subject to a continuous wear control. Due to complex geometries and strongly reflecting surfaces, optical inspections are only possible with high precision measuring techniques. A confocal sensor and an…
