For applications where high volumes are required in different industries, Micro-Epsilon develops sensors that are precisely tailored to suit the customer’s requirements. The geometry, electronics and packaging are custom engineered to suit these specific requirements. Due to the high vertical range of design and manufacturing disciplines within the Micro-Epsilon group, minor adaptations through to customer-specific development projects can be implemented effectively.

Customer-specific displacement sensors are designed for different measurement tasks. Depending on the respective requirements, the geometry of the housing, connector type and measurement signal can be adapted. Different measuring techniques also enable applications in challenging environments such as:

• High ambient pressures
• Oil, dirt, dust
• High temperature environments
• Vacuum
• Vibration, shock
• Hazardous (Ex) environments
• Dirty installations and measurement spaces
