Micro-Epsilon is a global specialist in precision sensors and measurement systems and offers a worldwide unique range of sensors, measurement systems and customized inspection systems. Continuous development efforts, extensive know-how and a wide cooperation network enable the creation of innovative, high precision products. The sensors from Micro-Epsilon are helping to conserve resources, automate production processes and to ensure high quality in production processes.

optoNCDT 1320/1420 laser sensors based on the triangulation measuring principle perform non-contact displacement, distance and position measurements. Due to their low weight combined with compact size, the optoNCDT 1320/1420 sensors can be easily integrated into restricted installation spaces and are ideally suitable for applications where high accelerations occur e.g. on the robot arm or in pick-and-place machines. The high-performance optical system projects the small light spot sharply onto the measurement object which enables to even detect smallest components reliably.

Confocal chromatic sensors provide the latest modern technology for displacement, distance, position and thickness measurements combined with maximum precision and high speed. Especially when measuring on reflecting and shiny targets, confocal chromatic sensors provide high accuracy whereas laser sensors are overdriven due to the high light intensity. This is a major advantage in a 'live' production process, where tactile measurement technology is operating at its limits, especially if the target is located in a difficult-to-access area. Micro-Epsilon is one of the leading companies in the field of high precision sensor technology. Confocal chromatic sensors and controllers provide unsurpassed advantages in terms of measuring rate, sensitivity and precise thickness measurement. Different sensor models and controller interfaces open versatile fields of application, e.g. in the semiconductor industry, glass industry, medical engineering and plastics production.

Eddy current sensors from Micro-Epsilon (eddyNCDT) measure distances, displacements, or positions of any electrically-conductive target. Eddy current sensors from Micro-Epsilon are ideally suited for applications in harsh industrial environments (pressure, dust, temperature). Furthermore, the eddy current sensors are integrated in semiconductor applications where submicron accuracy is demanded.

Laser scanners from Micro-Epsilon are among the most powerful profile sensors with regard to accuracy and measurement rate. The compact scanners with integrated controller are ideally suited for highly accurate 2D/3D profile measurements in automation, production monitoring and quality control. Advanced technology • Multiple measuring ranges and laser types (red, blue, classes 2/3) • High profile resolution for the detection of finest details • High profile rate for dynamic measurement tasks • Factory calibration for metals • Proven operational safety in 24/7 operation over many years Laser scanners from Micro-Epsilon are available with a red laser diode or with the patented Blue Laser Technology. Impressing with high signal stability, Blue Laser scanners are preferably used for profile measurements on red-hot glowing metals, as well as transparent surfaces.

Draw-wire sensors of the wireSENSOR series measure almost linearly across the entire measuring range and are used for distance and position measurements of 50mm up to 50,000mm. Draw-wire sensors from Micro-Epsilon are ideal for integration and subsequent assembly in high volume OEM applications e.g. in medical devices, lifts, conveyors and automotive engineering.
