The optoNCDT 1220 laser sensors are now also available with digital RS422 interface as standard. With their integrated controller, these compact sensors offer increased performance for OEM and serial applications. They are used, among other things, in automation, 3D printing, machine building, robotics and the automotive industry.

The new thermoIMAGER TIM 160S offers real-time thermography with a high frame rate of 120 Hz. The camera reliably measures temperatures from -20 °C to max. +1500 °C with high thermal sensitivity. It is both extremely lightweight and insensitive to environmental influences. The USB 2.0 interfaces are immediately ready for use. In addition, other interfaces are available for industrial connection.

The powerful eddyNCDT 3060 measuring systems are used for displacement and distance measurements in industrial processes. These non-contact displacement sensors impress with a unique combination of precision, speed and temperature stability. Now the sensor portfolio has been supplemented by measuring ranges of 6 and 8 mm. This opens up further fields of application while offering more flexibility for precise measurement tasks in almost all industries.

With a resolution of < 30 pm, the interferoMETER sensors from Micro-Epsilon achieve a new level of precision in optical measurement technology. Depending on the application, three different models are available: the IMS5400-DS for extremely precise and industrial distance measurements; the IMS5400-TH for precise thickness measurements; and the IMS5600-DS with vacuum-suitable design for distance measurements of subnanometer accuracy.

Micro-Epsilon has designed a new interface module for multi-channel applications. The IF2008/ETH integrates up to eight sensors and/or encoders with an RS422 interface into an Ethernet network. Four programmable ...

The high precision colorSENSOR CFO True Color sensors combine high color accuracy with modern interfaces and intuitive operation. They are used for industrial measurement tasks placing high requirements on accuracy. Furthermore, the sensors can now also be integrated in PROFINET-, EtherNet/IP- and EtherCAT environments via an interconnected gateway.

The optoCONTROL 2520-95 is a precision micrometer from Micro-Epsilon for static and dynamic measurement tasks with a measuring range of 95 mm. High linearity combined with high measurement speed make the system ideal for applications that require large measuring ranges. The system is used in almost any industry from chemistry to automotive and machine building. In cutting machines, e.g., several strips can be measured simultaneously by means of multi-segment measurement.

The capaNCDT CST6110 measuring system reliably performs non-contact rotational speed measurement of conductive and non-conductive objects. Moreover, the measuring system detects rotations from the first to the 400,000th rotation per minute and is used in drives, rotor blades and positions marks on shafts. The compact industrial sensor is connected to a robust controller and can be easily integrated into restricted installation spaces.

The capacitive capaNCDT 61x4 measuring system enables displacement measurements with the highest signal stability and maximum flexibility. With the active sensor including an integrated preamplifier, this innovative technology can reliably transmit stable signals over a cable length of 15 meters. Therefore, the system offers flexible cable installation while also being ideal for drag-chain use. The active sensor is used in machine building, robot production and semiconductor manufacturing.

For the measurement of large displacements and distances in industrial environments, wireSENSOR WPS-K100 draw-wire sensors are used. The new measuring ranges of 1500 mm and 2500 mm cover a larger number of industrial applications. The sensors are robust and equipped with a glass fiber-reinforced plastic housing and separate drum and spring spaces. Their excellent price/performance ratio makes these sensors ideal for OEM and serial applications.

The optoNCDT 1750DR laser sensor is specially designed for displacement and distance measurements on surfaces with strong reflections such as shiny plastics, mirrored glass or metals. These challenging surfaces are no match for the laser sensor. Due to the Real-Time-Surface-Compensation feature, the sensor adapts the exposure in real time to changing surfaces while generating a stable signal. Its compact design with integrated controller is particularly favorable for restricted installation spaces and allows for the sensor to be easily integrated.

With the new IF2030/ENETIP interface module, sensors can be easily connected to EtherNet/IP control systems. The module is compatible with many Micro-Epsilon sensors that output data via an RS422 or RS485 interface, and supports data rates up to 4 Mbaud. Installation in switching cabinets is via a DIN rail.
