3D sensors for geometry and surface inspections
Featured Product from Micro-Epsilon Group

The 3D sensor surfaceCONTROL features a compact design and high measurement accuracy combined with high data processing speed. With a z repeatability of up to 0.25 µm, the sensor sets new standards in high-precision 3D metrology. Even the smallest planarity deviations and height differences can be reliably detected.
In addition to fast data output via Gigabit Ethernet, the sensor offers an additional digital I/O interface. The 2D/3D gateway offers EtherNet/ IP, PROFINET and EtherCAT connections. Powerful software tools enable precise 3D measurements and surface inspections. GigE Vision compatibility also allows easy integration with third-party image processing software. The comprehensive SDK for integrating customer software rounds out the software package.
