MICRO-EPSILON

ELTROTEC rigid borescopes were developed for the visual inspection of small bore holes and cavities. With diameters ranging from 0.7 to 25mm, they offer excellent image reproduction and with their excellent resolution and brightness facilitate the inspection of the smallest details. The Top-Line premium endoscopes are equipped with graded index lenses (GRIN lenses), providing the highest quality with no appreciable image loss.

Endoscopic tasks often require flexible probes in order to access the desired point in concealed openings, interior cavities or in bent pipes or entrances. ELTROTEC Flex endoscopes are available in a range of lengths and diameters. With a diameter of 2.5 mm and larger they are equipped with a control mechanism for changing the angle of the probe tip.

The compact video endoscope systems from Micro-Epsilon Eltrotec present the optimum solution for your mobile application. The modular system has a wide range of probes with different diameters and working lengths as well as camera and light technologies. This results in a huge spectrum of configuration possibilities.

All endoscopes can be equipped with extensive accessories. Different light sources provide stationary or mobile illumination of the inspection objects. Cameras allow the output ot video signals during the application of rigid and flexible endoscopes with eyepieces. When it comes to visualisation, special monitor support. Many different adapter allow enlarging the field of applications.

The optoCONTROL CLS1000 optoelectronic fiber optic sensor is suitable for use in automation thanks to its variable switching outputs. The CLS1000 is used for reliable position monitoring as well as for position and presence detection. The fiber optic sensor comprises a CFS sensor and a CLS1000 controller. The wide detection and operating ranges of up to 2000 mm make the fiber optic sensor ideal for the detection of components even at great distances. Due to the small design of the CFS sensors, the CLS1000 optoelectronic fiber optic sensor series is particularly suitable for use in confined installation spaces.

The CLS1000 controller is available in five different versions: CLS1000-QN with antivalence function (normally open/normally closed), CLS1000-2Q with two switching outputs, CLS1000-OC with optocoupler, CLS1000-AU with voltage output and CLS1000-AI with current output. Each model is available in NPN, PNP or push-pull versions. All controllers are available with or without triggers.

Operating the optoCONTROL CLS1000 controllers requires sensors that are used on the measuring point. Depending on the measurement task, the sensors can be individually combined. The high-quality sensors with fiber optics are characterized by small installation dimensions and robust materials. This makes them particularly suitable for mechanical stress and harsh ambient conditions such as high temperatures. The sensor can also be used in restricted areas as the sensor head requires a minimum of installation space.

The interface and signal processing units extend the field of application of Micro-Epsilon sensors. The interface modules are used to convert sensor signals into digital or bus-compatible interfaces. This enables interfaces such as USB, RS422, Ethernet/IP, Profinet and EtherCAT for numerous sensors. The signal processing units are also used to record several sensor signals, to calculate and output them together. This is necessary, for example, for planarity measurement or thickness measurement.

The IC2001/USB single-channel converter cable is used for the USB connection of optical sensors equipped with an RS422 interface. The cable is easy to install and can therefore be used in machines and facilities.

C-Box/2A is used for fast D/A conversion of two digital input signals or for evaluating two digital sensor signals. Output of the sensor signals is possible via two configurable analogue outputs, Ethernet or USB. Handling of the C-Box/2A and of the connected sensors are performed via web interface. Averaging functions, thickness, diameter, step and inclinations can be calculated. The D/A conversion is executed with 16 Bit and max. 70 kHz.
