Steel And Non-ferrous Metals

The optoNCDT 1220 is the entry-level model for precise measurements in industrial automation. This compact laser triangulation sensor measures displacement, distance and position with high precision. Based on an excellent price/performance ratio, this sensor is ideally suited to measurement tasks involving a large number of pieces. Therefore, the sensor can be used in all fields of automation technology, e.g., in machine building, 3D printers or robotics.

For the steel and aluminum industry, Micro-Epsilon offers innovative measuring and inspection systems for thickness, profile and surface measurements. Performance and quality, as well as reliability of products and services have made Micro-Epsilon one of the leading suppliers of inspection systems for optical thickness measurement used in the metals industry. Our non-contact thickness measuring systems are used wherever high-precision thickness monitoring is required for control and quality assurance. Both in hot rolling mills, in continuous casting plants and in cold rolling mills and service centers, the Micro-Epsilon measuring systems operate reliably and with maximum precision. Numerous, successful installations in 13 countries around the world in milling lines and processing lines speak for themselves.

The demand for aluminum is constantly increasing due to its special technical properties. It can be made thinner and thinner as the strength increases. This is accompanied by tight manufacturing tolerances, which require measurement technology with more precision. As a manufacturer of measuring systems for the aluminum industry, Micro-Epsilon offers a comprehensive portfolio based on optical sensors without radioactivity that ensures More Precision in applications regardless of complexity and material properties. Optimized sensor technology tailored to the respective application, innovative mechanical design, as well as cooling and protection devices enable the systems to meet the needs of the processes. The high-performance signal processing and analysis software makes the systems the leading optical gauges on the market which detect the following parameters

The Industrial Performance Unit is a powerful computing platform for the efficient commissioning of Micro-Epsilon 3D sensors. The fully compatible controller is ideally suited to inline processes in 3D measurement tasks. The intuitive 3DInspect software with Valid3D technology enables simple and fast sensor parameter setting, which allows measurements to start immediately. The Industrial Performance Unit directly processes three-dimensional data, which is subsequently evaluated and assessed via the 3DInspect software. Results can be output via the integrated PROFINET, EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP interfaces.
