14.01.2009: Application example: Optical dimensional inspection

The Cerulean company produces measurement systems for the quality inspection of cigarettes in the production. The company uses through-beam sensors from Micro-Epsilon for the inspection of the dimensions. Integrated in a new measuring instrument, the geometries of cigarettes are inspected with it.

14.01.2009: Making grass growth measurable

Grass grows by approx. 80 picometres in one millisecond – an order of magnitude which forces conventional measurement technology to the limits of what is feasible. The capaNCDT 6500 capacitive measurement system is able to achieve such extreme resolutions.

14.01.2009: Free: Infrared measurement technology workshop

A Product Specialist from Micro-Epsilon will communicate basic knowledge of the infrared temperature measurement technology in the half day workshop. In doing so, the technology and the various possible applications will be in the foreground. The workshop is completely free of charges for you. The next training will take place in Baden-Württemberg. Secure your place today as the number of participants is limited.

14.01.2009: Temperature sensors for all cases: thermoMETER CT

The thermoMETER product group includes many different types of sensor for non-contact temperature measurement. The CT Series is the universal device for numerous stationary measurement tasks. They are mounted quickly, immediately ready for use and measure temperatures from -40° C to +1800 °C. There are special versions of the CT sensors for the diverse application areas.

10.02.2009: Application example: Thickness measurement of CDs and DVDs

One or more dies are produced from a master using galvanisation for the reproduction of CDs or DVDs. The thickness of the dies is only allowed to deviate by a few micrometers from the specified dimension. A special inspection system with capacitive sensors from ISEDD GmbH in Bielefeld checks that this is the case.

03.02.2009: The first industrial exhibitions in 2009

The most important trade show for tyre process manufacturing, “Tire Technology Expo”, takes place in Hamburg on 17 – 19 February, 2009. All our new measurement and inspection systems for quality assurance during tyre production will be on show at our stand. You will also get to know our new subsidiary, ME-Inspection, as specialists in tyre inspection. Directly after this show is the “intec” exhibition, which takes place in Leipzig on February 24 – 27, 2009. This is an important exhibition for production technology, with the focus being on toolmaking and construction of special equipment and machinery. We will focus on optical sensors and measuring equipment at the exhibition.

03.02.2009: New tyre surface inspection system

Micro-Epsilon now offers an extremely compact measurement system for the in-line inspection of tyre surfaces. The non-contact system inspects tyres immediately after the production process for bulges and other surface defects. In doing so, it scans the complete surface of the tyre, carrying out the inspection within 1 second. Due to the small installation size, the system can easily replace existing inspection systems. The system will be demonstrated for the first time at the Tire Technology Expo in Hamburg.

03.02.2009: Extremely robust, miniature temperature sensors

The new thermoMETER series of infrared temperature sensors from Micro-Epsilon is also available in OEM versions for use in high volume production. These temperature sensors can be found in the standard range as either miniature or – completely new – in an extremely robust version. For the smallest model, the complete electronics is positioned in the cable.

06.03.2009: Application example: Displacement measurement on slag transporter

In steel production, it is important that the slag is removed and transported as quickly as possible. The slag must not be allowed to cool down in the crucible. Draw-wire sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used to ensure the fastest possible transport time. The harsh environment for the sensor is overcome by using a smart installation solution.

06.03.2009: System for measuring the thickness of glass

A new measuring table from Micro-Epsilon is being used to inspect the dimensional accuracy of flat glass. This fully automatic, turnkey system inspects the edges, flatness and thickness of the glass panes. These are decisive factors for ensuring the quality of the glass, particularly for the production of photovoltaic modules.

11.09.2009: optoNCDT 1402: The economic laser sensor

The new optoNCDT 1402 laser sensor is the next-generation of sensor in Micro-Epsilon’s optoNCDT 1400 series, replacing the optoNCDT 1401 sensor. The 1402 offers enhanced performance and additional flexibility in terms of adjusting the measuring range whilst maintaining the full output span.

11.09.2009: Compact profile sensor for defined measurement tasks

llt2700_thumb40px

The latest addition to Micro-Epsilon’s scanCONTROL range of 2D/3D laser profile sensors is the scanCONTROL 2710, which is not only more compact than its predecessors, but also offers new set up and configuration software. The sensor is ideal for industrial automation, robotics and machine building applications, where space is often restricted.

11.09.2009: Miniaturised thermal imaging camera

A new rugged, inline, infrared thermal imaging camera has been launched that is not only comparable in terms of technical specification and performance to the latest inline thermal imagers, but costs around 60 per cent less.

11.09.2009: Infrared sensors for temperature from 50°C to 1800°C

The thermoMETER CT laser M3 is an infrared, inline (fixed) temperature sensor that measures at a short wavelength of 2.3µm for all temperature measurements between 50°C and 600°C. This sensor has the lowest unit price of any 2-3μm-wavelength sensor currently in the marketplace – typically 60% of the cost of currently available sensors.

New inline infrared sensors measure temperature of metals and composites from 50°C up to 1800°C

14.09.2009: New two-wire loop powered infrared temperature sensor

thermoMETER_csmicro2w-40px

The new thermoMETER CSmicro 2W sensor is a 4-20mA loop-powered device that measures temperatures from –30 deg C up to 1,600 deg C. The processing electronics are integrated in the cable itself, making the sensor one of the most compact, high accuracy, programmable pyrometers available on the market today.
