optoNCDT1900 This Micro-Epsilon laser-triangulation sensor is used for automated displacement, distance and position measurements in industrial processes. The sensors are appropriate for a variety of processes, including 3D printing, injection molding and CNC machining. They are applicable in automotive- and smartphone-components manufacturing, as well as in automation and the battery industry. Depending on the exact application, the sensors usually can be retrofitted into existing machines and systems.
What’s new? A new protective housing that provides cooling for the sensor, as well as an air purge for cleaning the protective windows. Since September, Micro-Epsilon is offering additional configuration options for measurement tasks involving larger volumes. The company can set parameters at the factory, so the sensors are ready to use once delivered.
Benefits High precision. The compact sensors are quick and easy to operate, and their new housing makes them even better suited for use in industrial environments. They can be easily connected to control systems. The laser sensors use two-stage measurement averaging to ensure a smooth signal curve at steps and edges.
