Automation
Increasing networking in factory and plant automation requires the immediate availability of all relevant operating information. Here, intelligent networking of development, production and logistics is a central challenge. Smart sensors from Micro-Epsilon ensure the optimal integration and networking of machines and processes due to their versatile industry interfaces and evaluation algorithms. Thanks to their high precision, the sensors often replace switches in order to react to events more quickly and accurately.
Dimension control of beams
For thickness and width measurement of plates, planks and beams, two optoNCDT laser sensors are used. If this arrangement is complemented by further sensors, one synchronised measurement process can combine ...
Show detailsColour inspection and sorting of supplier parts
Before installing front aprons, Micro-Epsilon colour sensors check if the colour of the attachment matches the body colour. Different colour groups can be defined to cover all coatings.
Show detailsIn-line detection of protective film on PVC window frames
Company „Schüco“ manufactures PVC window frames. The PVC profiles are provided with a protective film after they are extruded. This film protects the frames from scratches and dirt. The colorCONTROL ...
Show detailsColour measurement of the floorboards
Plastic floorboards are made of coloured granules and shaped by deep-drawing. After the production process, it must be guaranteed that the colour of the floorboards is homogenous and that there are no ...
Show detailsInspection of plate position
When printing woods with decors, optoCONTROL micrometers are used to control the positions of the plate. This prevents the printing head from colliding with the plate. These laser micrometers measure directly ...
Show detailsOrientation of wooden boards
In fully automated sawmills, the position of wooden boards before sawing must be determined so that they can be cut precisely. Micro-Epsilon laser displacement sensors detect the position of the boards ...
Show detailsCalibrating robot axes
Industrial robots have become indispensable in modern production facilities due to their reliability and high speed. During set up and also at regular intervals within the scope of quality assurance, the ...
Show detailsInspection of wood floorboard relief
Laser scanners from Micro-Epsilon are used to inspect wood reliefs. They check the groove depth and provide reliable measurement results regardless of the type of wood.
Show detailsColour recognition of kitchen fronts
In order to ensure consistent colour of different front panels, colour sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used. The sensors inspect the colour of the kitchen fronts in the painting plant. Colour sensors ensure ...
Show detailsProfile inspection of parquet flooring and baseboards
Laser scanners from Micro-Epsilon are used for the profile measurement of parquet boards and baseboards. They inspect geometric characteristics such as groove height, gap dimensions and absolute dimensions ...
Show detailsColour measurement of RAL colours (K1/K5 colour fans)
RAL colours are standardised colours with each one assigned to an unambiguous number. They help to precisely determine colours. RAL colours are used in almost every field where surfaces are painted or ...
Show detailsRecognising colour nuances and materials of screw nuts
For this measurement task, the controller is used together with the CFS3-A11 reflex sensor. Beforehand, the sensor is adjusted once to the brightest target, in this case a zinc nut. The nuts are transported ...
Show detailsColour measurement of car attachments
colorSENSOR CFO sensors from Micro-Epsilon are ideally suited to this kind of precise colour comparison measurement as they reliably recognise different colours while enabling 100% quality control. The ...
Show detailsPosition detection of car bodies in the processing line
Before a car emerges from a bodyshell, it passes through numerous stations within the production, in which fully automatic processing steps are carried out. In order to enables the processing robots to ...
Show detailsMeasuring applied adhesive of tapes, plasters and Band-Aids
To ensure a homogeneous adhesive surface, capacitive displacement sensors measure the thickness of the adhesive on adhesive tapes and medical plasters. Capacitive sensors allow one-sided thickness measurement. ...
Show detailsHigh precision thickness measurement of silicon wafers
Capacitive displacement sensors are used for the exact thickness measurement of wafers. Two opposing sensors detect the thickness and also determine other parameters such as deflection or sawing marks. ...
Show detailsPresence detection of small parts
In assembly processes, incoming components are inspected using Micro-Epsilon fibre optic sensors. Recognising missing SMT components enables a smooth assembly process. Their flexible design allows for ...
Show detailsThickness measurement of black rubber belts
Rubber mats for the structure sealing must exhibit a specified thickness for durability and tear resistance. The thickness of the films is measured directly after the extrusion. The optoNCDT 1750 sensors ...
Show detailsMonitoring the vertical alignment of high-bay racks
Fully automated high-bay warehouses often take on enormous dimensions. Lengths of around 80 m and heights of around 50 m can be achieved. Precise alignment of the racks is crucial for the fully automatic ...
