Automation

Increasing networking in factory and plant automation requires the immediate availability of all relevant operating information. Here, intelligent networking of development, production and logistics is a central challenge. Smart sensors from Micro-Epsilon ensure the optimal integration and networking of machines and processes due to their versatile industry interfaces and evaluation algorithms. Thanks to their high precision, the sensors often replace switches in order to react to events more quickly and accurately.

Workpiece positioning in CNC machining

Due to its robust and compact design, the powerful optoNCDT ILR3800-100 laser distance sensor is ideal for monitoring the position of large measuring objects such as rails. Over a total length of up to 3 m, the entire workpiece is detected by ten…
