Confocal Sensors

The K and MK draw-wire sensors are specially designed for series applications with large numbers of pieces. The user benefits from an excellent price/performance ratio and compact sensor dimensions, therefore gaining new potential in design and cost optimization. As well as analog versions with potentiometer, current or voltage output, digital versions with incremental or absolute encoders are available.

The quality of electrode film is crucial for increasing the performance of future battery generations. In order to generate higher energy densities, coating and calendering processes must be performed with the highest precision. Micro-Epsilon offers high-precision measuring systems for the thickness measurement of coated and uncoated battery film. These systems are equipped with high-resolution sensors and increase process stability, production speed and quality in modern coating lines.

The high-performance optoNCDT ILR2250 laser distance sensor is used whenever large measuring ranges and high accuracy are required. The optoNCDT ILR2250 can be installed at distances up to 100 m, and even up to 150 m with a reflector film. This sensor impresses when measuring dark, structured and poorly reflecting surfaces, while providing stable measurement results to millimeter accuracy. The optoNCDT ILR2250 laser distance sensor is used in transportation, logistics and conveyance technologies as well as automation and the metals industry. This is where the sensor enables reliable measurement results even when it is, e.g., installed at a safe distance from heat emitting measuring objects. In addition, difficult-to-access places via mirrors or through glass sheets can be detected.

thicknessGAUGE sensor systems are used to measure the thickness of strip materials in-line. Several models with different sensor types, measuring ranges and measuring widths enable inline thickness measurements of different materials and surfaces. The systems uses two confocal distance sensors which detect the strip thickness with high precision. The sensors are precisely aligned to each other and factory-calibrated. By means of a linear axis, the thicknessGAUGE sensor systems can be moved to measure the thickness across the entire strip width. Their extremely compact design enables integration into confined spaces.
