Micro-Epsilon Messtechnik offers a number of methods for robot measurement tasks. In particular, these are used for wide area, high-precision measurements and where there are increased flexibility requirements. Non-contact sensor data guides the tools or devices attached to the robot arms. For example, a laser sensor can be used for dynamic distance measurements when applying adhesive beads to car roof rails or windscreens.

Novel approach to displacement measurement for hydraulic cylinders eliminates need for costly drilling

12-11-2010

Two companies have developed a completely new approach to measuring the displacement of hydraulic cylinders. By integrating a draw-wire displacement sensor inside the cylinder, piston rods no longer have to be deep bore drilled using specialist equipment, irrespective of cylinder stroke length, says Thomas Birchinger, Product Manager Draw-Wire Sensors at Micro-Epsilon.
