The confocalDT IFS2404-2 confocal chromatic displacement sensor is designed for high precision distance, position and thickness measurements. With a diameter of just 12mm, the sensor is easily integrated in restricted, confined spaces. Due to its special lens technology, the sensor delivers a high resolution with an extremely small laser spot size (10µm diameter).

Micro-Epsilon has launched a range of sub-micrometer resolution confocal controllers for distance and thickness measurement applications. The controllers offer outstanding value for money combined with ...

Precision sensor manufacturer Micro-Epsilon has extended its range of confocal chromatic displacement sensors with a new compact sensor that offers outstanding value for money and high accuracy, enabling ...

When selecting sensors for displacement, position, distance and profile measurement tasks, engineers should consider the various types of sensor filtering and before making a purchasing decision, says Chris Jones of Micro-Epsilon.

Capacitive sensors are considered one of the most precise measuring systems for displacement, distance and position, achieving resolutions well below one nanometer. The modular-designed system allows up to four additional measurement channels to be added. It stands out due to its modular design and because it is one of the most modern controllers in the world. The capaNCDT 6222 is used for high speed measurements up to 20 kHz.

When selecting a non-contact eddy current displacement sensor, a number of factors need to be considered, including temperature of the target, calibration, target thickness and size, speed of measurements ...

The eddyNCDT 3060 is a new, powerful eddy current measurement system from Micro-Epsilon that is suitable for high speed, high precision displacement measurements in harsh industrial environments. The system comprises a compact controller, a sensor and integrated or non-integrated cable, and is factory-calibrated for ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With more than 400 compatible sensor models, unique ease of use and smart signal processing, the eddyNCDT 3060 sets new standards in inductive displacement measurement.

At the Advanced Engineering Show (31st October – 1st November 2018) at the NEC, Birmingham, Micro-Epsilon UK (stand F40) will showcase its full range of sensor technologies, including non-contact capacitive, eddy current and laser triangulation displacement sensors, as well as 2D/3D laser profile sensors, thermal imagers and colour sensors. In addition, the stand will feature five interactive product demonstrations, including two colour measurement systems:

The new optoNCDT 1750LL laser sensor is used in high precision distance measurements of metallic and structured surfaces. Their oval-shaped light spot makes it possible to compensate for physical interferences and to output stable measurement values. Therefore, the optoNCDT 1750LL can be used where conventional laser point sensors are operating at their limits.

Based on the combination of two different sensor technologies in one sensor head, Micro-Epsilon has developed the thicknessCONTROL TCP 8303.ET, an innovative system for thickness measurements directly in the calender system. It enables fully automatic rubber thickness control during the production process.

At the Engineering Design Show (17th October – 18th October 2018) at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry, Micro-Epsilon UK (stand D10) will showcase its full range of sensor technologies, including non-contact capacitive, eddy current and laser triangulation displacement sensors, as well as 2D/3D laser profile sensors, thermal imagers and colour sensors. The stand will feature five interactive product demonstrations:

At the PPMA (Processing & Packaging Machinery Association) Show at the NEC, Birmingham (25th September – 27th September 2018) Micro-Epsilon UK (stand E94) will showcase its full range of sensor technologies, including non-contact capacitive, eddy current and laser triangulation displacement sensors, as well as 2D/3D laser profile sensors, thermal imagers and colour sensors. The stand will also feature seven live sensor demonstrations:
