Inductive sensors from Micro-Epsilon are based on the eddy current principle and designed for non-contact measurement of displacement, distance, position, oscillation and vibrations. They are particularly suitable when high precision is required in harsh industrial environments (pressure, dirt, temperature). Inductive sensors from Micro-Epsilon offer extremely precise measurements where sub-micron accuracy is required.

Thanks to their high performance, the sensors are used for inline applications, on robots and also for offline inspection.

Principle of operation of the breakage sensor is based on the integrity control of closed perimeter line generated by a double micro wire. A very thin and imperceptible wire is stretched from the sensor’ case and fastened along to the perimeter site or the object surface, transport, doors or windows. If an intruder enters the perimeter or steals an object, he breaks the wire. Close the micro wire end by sealing it with a match or lighter flame to generate a closed perimeter line. After the switching ON the sensor goes to the stand-by mode to control the micro wire integrity. The sensor triggers at the breakage of a double micro wire. Triggering is accompanied with an intermittent sound alarm. THE MICRO WIRE HAS A SMALL DIAMETER AND A MASKING COLOR. That’s why it is barely visible for an intruder and doesn’t provoke any efforts for a human during its breakage. The sensor MOSKIT is supplied from a built-in battery. SMALL DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT.
