■ Measuring principle & fields of application Micrometers from Micro-Epsilon operate according to the transmitted light principle (ThruBeam). Here, the transmitter produces a parallel light curtain that is transmitted via a lens arrangement into the receiver unit. The beam is interrupted if an object is in the light path. The resulting shadowing is detected by the receiving optics and output as geometrical value. These three series use several ThruBeam technologies to serve the widest possible range of applications. Most optical micrometers are used for two-dimensional measurements in production...

Large distance between transmitter and receiver To cover a large measuring range or to measure from a great distance to the measuring object, optical micrometers from Micro-Epsilon are particularly suitable. This allows distances of up to two meters between transmitter and very large objects to be measured with high accuracy. Measurement of a railroad wheel Special fields of application For special fields of application and larger purchase quantities, all optoCONTROL ODC sensor model series can be customized. This includes for example: Individual cable lengths with modified cable outlet Version...

Selection criteria optoCONTROL Numerous measuring ranges for versatile measurement tasks Optical precision micrometers of the optoCONTROL series are available with different measuring ranges and are ideally suited for industrial applications. More than 10 standard models with measuring ranges from 2 – 95 mm cater for a large number of applications across many different industries. Unique operating concept for quick and easy commissioning The optoCONTROL 2520 micrometers are operated using an intuitive web interface, which can be accessed via a standard web browser. This enables readings and limit...

Angle variants The 90° variant enable the installation even in confined spaces. For integration in machines where the available space is very limited, the angled micrometer variants are ideal. Modern interfaces for integration into machines and systems Numerous interface and signal processing units extend the field of application of the Micro-Epsilon micrometers. The interface modules are used to convert the sensor signals into digital or bus-compatible interfaces. This enables interfaces such as USB, RS422, Ethernet/IP, Profinet and EtherCAT. Synchronizable sensors for large diameter measurement,...

Applications optoCONTROL Parameter monitoring of continuous loop strap for cable ties It is essential that the “width” and “height” of the cable ties are monitored concurrently and constantly during the production of these endless cable ties. These values are crucial to ensure a consistently good and reliable binding result. Monitoring of specific product parameters during the entire process is pivotal in ensuring the quality and uniformity of production. For this purpose, a sensor combination of two optical precision micrometers mounted behind the extruder is used. Two ODC 2520-46 type sensors...

Edge detection and runout measurement During the production of wafers, the edges and the concentricity of the manufactured wafers are continuously checked in the machine. In an area that is protected from radiant heat outside the vacuum, the ODC2520-46(090) measures the edge of the wafer to calculate the runout while the the wafer rotates once around its axis. Depending on the size of the measuring range of the micrometer, wafers of different sizes can be measured without having to adjust the position of the sensor. With the 46 mm measuring range, for example, 3 to 4.8 inch wafers can be detected....

■ Compact laser micrometers with high measuring rate Light source and receiver can be mounted at any distance up to 5 m from each other. All models can be mounted both vertically and horizontally without additional brackets. The compact design of the housings and the 90° design allow the miniature micrometers to be mounted even in confined installation spaces. In addition the analog output, an adjustable limit switch is included. This can be operated in NPN (light switching) as well as in PNP logic (dark switching). The optoCONTROL 1200 can reliably measure the smallest diameters from 0.3 mm....
