Confocal sensors: 5 convincing advantages

Suitable for confined installation spaces
Micro-Epsilon offers a wide range of confocal sensors for measuring tasks in numerous industries. The sensors impress with their compact design, which is why they are predestined for confined installation spaces, such as drill holes or recesses. The controller unit also impresses with its small size, which makes it ideal for installation in a control cabinet.

Robust, reliable and precise
Another advantage of confocal sensors from Micro-Epsilon is their industrial-grade housing design. This means that the sensors can be used in many different sectors, including automation, the semiconductor and automotive industries. For example, the sensors measure curved and structured surfaces reliably and precisely.

Wide range of variants for different measurement tasks
Micro-Epsilon offers a portfolio of confocal sensors that not only impresses with its large number of sensors, but also with its wide range of variants. The Micro-Epsilon portfolio includes 31 different sensors with 16 different measuring ranges from 0.1 to 30 mm. In addition to the standard sensors for high-precision measuring tasks, confocal miniature sensors with axial and radial measuring directions (90°) are also available. With the 90° version, measurements can be carried out inside bores and recesses. Micro-Epsilon also offers variants for measurement in a vacuum.

Simple handling
The focus of application development is always on the user: Micro-Epsilon sensors are easy to commission and simple to operate. This is ensured by the advanced web interface, which can be easily accessed via a PC.

Unique properties
The confocal sensors from Micro-Epsilon impress with their performance. The focus here is on high resolution, low linearity and a high measuring rate in order to be able to record and process measured values quickly. A particular highlight is the indication of the tilt angle, which is unique on the market in this form. Micro-Epsilon ensures good maintainability with the fiber optic connection cable, which can be replaced at any time.
