MICRO-EPSILON

The LVP-25-Z20 and LDR-14-Z20 sensors are used for monitoring the clamping position in machine tools. These inductive sensors are integrated in the release device and directly measure the clamping stroke of the drawbar onto which the target ring is glued. Due to their extremely compact design, these sensors are used for different types of tools while providing high-precision and continuous monitoring. No adjustment is necessary when changing the tool.

The MSC controllers are designed to be operated with LVDT and LDR measuring gauges and displacement sensors. Due to the robust and compact aluminum housing, the controllers are ideal for industrial measurement tasks. A large variety of compatible, inductive displacement sensors and gauges combined with an optimized price/performance ratio opens up multiple fields of applications in automation technology and machine building.

The sensor elements of the EDS series are protected by a pressure resistant stainless steel housing. As target, an aluminum sleeve is used which is integrated into the piston rod and is passed without making contact and wear-free over the sensor rod.

Application examples are often found where the standard versions of the sensors and the controller are performing at their limits. One of our special strengths is having the possibility to adapt our sensors to the individual requirements of our customers. The various measuring principles can be modified in different ways. Changes requested include, for example, modified measuring ranges, integrated controller, modified designs, mounting options or integration of different interfaces. Together we will find the best solution for your measurement task.

mainSENSOR is based on an innovative measuring principle, which has been developed by Micro-Epsilon in order to combine the advantages of both inductive and magnetic sensors. Magneto-inductive sensors are frequently used as alternative to inductive sensors and proximity sensors in process automation, the packaging industry and in machine monitoring. Measuring the distance to a magnet which is fixed at the measurement object, the sensor outputs a continuous, linear signal. As different strength magnets are applied, measuring ranges of between 20 mm and 55 mm can be achieved. However, in order to adapt the measuring range, it is only necessary to change the magnet.

The magneto-inductive MDS-35/-45 sensors are specially designed for industrial environments. The sensors are available in M12, M18 and M30 stainless steel housings or with a flat plastic housing. The pressure-resistant, stainless steel housing is ideally suited to harsh, industrial environments (dirt, oil, chemicals) and the food industry.

The sensors of the MDS-40-MK series are a new generation of cost-effective and flexible magneto-inductive sensors for serial or industrial applications. In addition to the pre-configured preferred types, a combination of further options (power supply, output, plug,...) is possible. The appropriate sensor can be combined from numerous configuration options.

The MDS-40-LP sensors are specially designed for large volume production from 2,000 pieces or more. As these sensors are reduced to pure measurement technology, the creation of cost-effective PCB sensors was possible. Their flat design and flexible arrangement of the magnets allows easy integration in restricted spaces. Measured values are output via a rectangular signal, which is easily evaluated via, for example, digital inputs from micro-controllers.

Sensors can be adapted to suit customer-specific applications. Particularly for a large number of pieces, customized sensors can be produced efficiently, which results in considerable cost reductions. The compact PCB which contains the sensor element and the evaluation electronics is responsible for the signal preparation, signal evaluation and signal output. The type of measurement (distance or rotational speed measurement) and the required frequency response are adaptable. In addition, the interfaces offer numerous connectivity options. There are several outputs such as current, voltage, PWM and further digital outputs. The design of the housing, the material and the protection class can be adapted to the specific requirements. In cases where space is limited, the side shifted measurement offers a space-saving alternative. For harsh environments, the sensor is designed with a fully sealed stainless steel housing that withstands high pressure, dirt, aggressive chemicals (acids)

Draw-wire sensors of the wireSENSOR series measure almost linearly over the entire measuring range and are used for distance and position measurements between 50 mm and 50,000 mm. Draw-wire sensors from Micro-Epsilon are ideal for both direct integration and subsequent assembly in serial OEM applications, e.g., in medical devices, lifts, conveyors and automotive engineering.
