Medical technology
In medical technology, high standards apply with regard to quality, repeatability and compliance with narrow tolerances. These also apply for medical devices and apparatus construction, plant automation, the manufacture of medical technology products and the development and production of pharmaceuticals.
Thanks to high accuracy, integrability and the wide variety of models, sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used in versatile measurement tasks.
Wear inspection of tablet stamps
Press tools for the tablet production are subject to a continuous wear control. Due to complex geometries and strongly reflecting surfaces, optical inspections are only possible with high precision measuring ...
Show detailsColor sensors monitor the ingredients of tablets
In pharmaceutical tablet production different ingredients are used. Changing the concentration of these ingredients affects the color of the tablet. The colorCONTROL ACS7000 inline color measuring system ...
Show detailsDisplacement sensors for position monitoring in equipment manufacturing
For the measurement of a position, e.g. the movement of a patient couch, draw-wire displacement sensors are used. As positioning tasks typically require only medium accuracy, sensors with potentiometer ...
Show detailsFilling level measurement trays
The narrow beam path enables the confocal sensors to measure in recesses. With the confocal measuring principle, measurements on liquids are possible, e.g. for precise filling level control in trays.
Show detailsNon-contact height measurement of culture media in Petri dishes
In microbiology, cell cultures are used for the analysis of so-called agar plates. When producing this culture medium, liquid agar-agar is filled into plastic Petri dishes, where it hardens and forms a ...
Show detailsOne-sided thickness measurement of tubes
In the manufacture and quality assurance of medical products, the thickness of tubes and membranes as well as the wall thickness of balloons are measured. Confocal chromatic sensors are used which measure ...
Show detailsNon-contact thickness measurement of gelatin layers
Gelatin is often used in the shell of soft capsules. For the 100% thickness measurement of the conductive gelatin layer, capacitive displacement sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used, which provide non-contact ...
Show detailsBottom thickness measurement of container glass
With the wall thickness and roundness measurements in star wheel inspection machines, a fast measuring rate is required in order to support the ongoing process. Micro-Epsilon’s confocal chromatic ...
Show detailsQuality control of medical tablet stamps and dies
According to ISO 18084:2011, the press tools for the tablet production are subject to a continuous quality control. Due to complex geometry and a strongly reflecting surface, automatic inspection of stamps ...
Show detailsPrecise positioning of a surgical microscope
Surgical procedures require a perfect view of the operating area. Here, the surgeon is often supported by a surgical microscope. To enable the surgeon to best position the microscope and to give the surgical ...
Show detailsMeasuring dental samples confocal
Confocal chromatic sensors are used to check the surface topography of dental samples. These sensors are distinguished by their high resolution and independence from the type of material surface involved. ...
Show detailsMeasurement of contact lenses
Contact lens manufacturers have a need to conduct various material tests on clear, flexible polymer samples. The material samples must be submerged during testing in a saline solution for hydration. The ...
Show detailsPosition measurement in Computer Tomography (CT)
In the latest CT equipment, the most effective diagnoses are determined by how precise and fast the measurement systems are (speed and resolution), as well as their cost effectiveness. Irrespective of ...
Show detailsPositioning of operating tables
Operating tables provide many adjustment options for the correct positioning of the patient during the operation. As well as the height, the horizontal position and angle functions can also often be adjusted. ...
