The latest range of capacitive sensors from Micro-Epsilon is based on a completely new technology. A special ceramic substrate provides the capaNCDT CSH (Hybrid) sensors with extreme temperature stability. New sensor geometries are also possible which enable the production of a sensor with a height of 4mm. These flat sensors are called capaNCDT CSH-FL. Using [...]
The new low cost optoNCDT1302 laser sensor from Micro-Epsilon replaces the optoNCDT 1300 in the product range. Compared to its predecessor, this model provides a measuring rate of 750Hz and is available for the first time with an RS422 port in addition to the analogue current / voltage output. The sensor has a trigger and [...]
Draw-wire sensors from Micro-Epsilon are being used in the testing of new wind turbine rotor blades at the Fraunhofer Institute IWES, Bremerhaven. The test rig is designed for rotor blades with a maximum length of 70m. The rotor blade distortion due to wind loads is simulated in this rig. The tip of the rotor blade [...]
New capacitive sensors from Micro-Epsilon’s capaNCDT series provide nanometre resolution at an ambient temperature of 4°Kelvin. These sensors are specially developed for particularly low ambient temperatures. The sensors must provide identical results at -269°C as they do at room temperature. This is possible due to the use of special materials for the sensor and cable, [...]
The new optoNCDT confocal chromatic sensor from Micro-Epsilon combines the benefits of two successful confocal design concepts. With an external diameter of 8mm, the sensor is compact and slim, similar to the optoNCDT 2402 range of miniature sensors. However, due to its larger digital aperture, the sensor can receive significantly more reflected light than the [...]
Under the names optoNCDT ILR 1181, 1182, 1183 and 1191, these sensors provide new approaches to solving automation tasks. The 80 Series functions according to the phase comparison principle, whereby a precise distance measurement is possible. They achieve a measuring range of 30m for use on diffuse reflecting surfaces and 150m when using a special [...]
The IR-Temerature sensors of Micro-Epsilon are called thermoMETER. This product group is targeted at industrial users. The infrared sensors comprise severalproducts for stationary use. Amongst others, this includes products such as thermoMETER CT, which has external electronics. This sensor operates in temperatures from -40°C up to +975°C. This also includes the CT laser, which uses [...]
Micro-Epsilon has developed a system called Reflect Control, which automatically detects surface defects on mirrored objects or reflecting surfaces. In order to detect dents, bulges or other defects on a reflecting object, typically a person would manually observe the reflected image of the surroundings on the surface. The difference between the surroundings and the reflected [...]

The most important difference between the new Scancontrol 2700 and conventional line scanners is the integrated controller. This means no other component is required for the measured data evaluation. However, despite this, the measuring head has very compact dimensions. This relative small size means the scanner is ideal for use in automation systems, where space [...]
