The optoCONTROL 2520-46(090) extends the product range of optical precision micrometers. As the receiver is able to rotate by 90°, the micrometer is ideal for installations with limited space. Furthermore, it is classified as laser class 1M and includes an integrated controller. Configuration is via a user-friendly web interface.

The confocal chromatic confocalDT IFS2405-0,3 and IFS2407/90-0,3 sensors from Micro-Epsilon measure the finest of surface structures to the highest precision. Due to their ultra-small measurement spot size, they are ideally suited to measurement tasks that require maximum precision. Combined with high sensitivity, a large tilt angle and a large offset distance open up numerous fields of application, particularly in the automotive industry.

The product range of the new optoNCDT 1750 laser sensors from Micro-Epsilon has been extended with new measuring ranges of 500mm and 750mm. With these additional models, the laser sensor can now be applied in fast, high precision measurement tasks that require large measuring ranges. Very small objects can be detected due to the small light spot size.

The thicknessSENSOR for universal thickness measurement of strip and plate material is now well established. The new, extended measuring ranges up to 25mm with measuring widths up to 400mm provide this smart system with even more flexibility.

The compact optoNCDT 1750 laser sensor designed for displacement and distance measurements offers new features combined with robustness and reliability. Based on an innovative web interface, the new laser sensor stands out due to its ease of use and intuitive commissioning using presets for different surface types and colors.

The compact scanCONTROL 2910-10/BL laser scanner reliably detects burrs on sheet edges directly in the processing line. In contrast to fixed solutions that enable a random test, Micro-Epsilon offers an inline solution that provides the required precision with its high point resolution in order to recognize burrs reliably.

The confocal chromatic confocalDT 2422 dual-channel system enables reliable and precise thickness measurement of container glass in each color. The measurements are performed with highest precision and in harsh ambient conditions that are partly due to glass dust and powder. The measurement system operates with high speed and provides the measurement values in real time via EtherCAT.

The optoNCDT 1420 is by now also available with a measuring range of 500mm. It is therefore the smallest laser sensor in the market that offers such a large measuring range combined with high measurement accuracy. This smart laser sensor is suitable for logistics, warehouse automation and robotics.

Instead of a red laser line, the Blue Laser diode generates a blue-violet laser beam with a wavelength of 405nm. The sharper focus enables a sharper projection of the laser beam and therefore increased accuracy. In numerous measurement tasks, the technology patented by Micro-Epsilon offers decisive advantages compared to red-diode laser sensors.

The new optoNCDT 2300-2DR uses blue laser light and is specially designed for displacement and distance measurements on directly reflecting surfaces. On reflective and shiny surfaces, the sensor operates at high speed and provides maximum precision in the nanometer range. Furthermore, the optoNCDT 2300-2DR laser sensor has a unique feature as it is the only laser sensor in its class for directly reflecting surfaces where the entire electronics are integrated in a compact housing.

An even larger field of applications is now opened up for the optoNCDT 2300 high performance laser sensor. The new C-Box/2A interface converter now enables fast D/A conversion of two optoNCDT 2300 laser sensor signals. Furthermore, individual measurement values can be calculated synchronously in order to directly output parameters such as thickness, diameter or tilt angle.

The latest software tools for scanCONTROL laser profile scanners are now available as downloads or CD. The new version 8.1 comprises the Configuration Tools 4.2 parameterization program, the scanCONTROL 3D View 2.5 visualization software and the Software Development Toolkit (SDK) with examples for C/C++.
