Compact, robust and versatile
Micro-Epsilon draw-wire sensors provide precise and reliable displacement and position measurements in a wide range of industrial applications.
Thanks to their robust design, space-saving construction and durable components, the sensors are ideal for OEM series applications. Miniature versions for short measuring ranges and dynamic versions for fast processes enable reliable measurements even in confined installation spaces or demanding environmental conditions.
Reliable operation and long service life
Draw-wire displacement sensors measure linear movements using a highly flexible steel wire. The wire drum is connected to a sensing element that generates an output signal proportional to displacement. Measurements are performed with high accuracy and dynamics. The use of high-quality components ensures a long service life and high operational reliability.
Customized versions
Micro-Epsilon stands for high-performance, future-proof solutions in displacement and position measurement. With one of the world’s most comprehensive portfolios of more than 250 draw-wire sensors, we offer the optimum sensor solution for virtually every application, precisely matched to your technical and commercial requirements. For special requirements, we develop tailor-made solutions that are exactly adapted to your application, from mechanical modifications to customized interfaces. Thanks to efficient development and manufacturing processes within the Micro-Epsilon group, customized versions are economically viable even for medium production volumes.
Telescopic measuring principle – ideal for hard-to-reach measuring points
A key advantage of draw-wire sensors is that the measuring wire can be routed flexibly over guide pulleys, allowing even hard-to-reach measuring points to be accessed. Unlike other measuring methods, which generally operate along only one axis, draw-wire sensors enable versatile installation independent of direction. Their extremely compact housings and intelligent mechanical design allow large measuring ranges to be implemented in a space-saving manner.
