With the optoNCDT laser sensors, Micro-Epsilon offers a broad portfolio with measuring ranges from 2 to 1000 mm. This makes these sensors suitable for a variety of applications in a wide range of industries. Thanks to intelligent interfaces and robust, robot-compatible cables, they can be flexibly integrated into industrial automation processes. they are easily integrated into the processes via various interfaces. Depending on the model, these include analog (U/I), RS422, Ethernet, EtherCAT, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and IO-Link. The lasers measure precisely and reliably on almost all surfaces: matt, metallic or shiny. Variants are available for particularly difficult measuring conditions:

• The "LL" versions with an oval light spot minimize optical interference and make it easier to measure on shiny materials.
• The "BL" models use the patented principle with a blue laser line, which is ideal for organic, (semi-)transparent or red-hot objects such as hot metals.
• Standard models use class 2 lasers, with class 3 lasers available as an option to achieve better measurement results on dark surfaces and class 1 lasers to minimize safety risks.

Miniaturization for series applications

The optoNCDT 1220, 1320 and 1420 models are ideal for high-volume applications. They offer an excellent price-performance ratio and are particularly suitable for displacement, distance and position measurements in industrial automation - for example in mechanical engineering, in 3D printers or on robot arms. Their compact design with integrated controller allows easy installation even in tight spaces. They can be set up conveniently via a web interface. In addition, the integrated Active Surface Compensation (ASC) ensures that the measurement signal remains stable - regardless of the color or brightness of the object.

Advanced automation in the line

The optoNCDT 1900 offers a unique combination of speed, size, performance and application versatility for measuring displacement, distance and position. The compact triangulation sensor achieves high measurement accuracy and measurement rates of up to 10 kHz. The sensor's powerful optics generate a small light spot, enabling even the smallest details and structures to be reliably detected. Models with an integrated industrial Ethernet interface can be integrated into networked and virtual environments as well as the PLC. This is advantageous, for example, when the electrode layer thickness is measured in battery cell production.

High-tech in high-precision areas

The new high-end optoNCDT 5500 series offers maximum performance in the smallest of spaces. The measuring rate is adjustable up to 75 kHz. The results are output with sub-micrometer precision. The sensors offer real-time surface compensation, which takes place directly during the measurement. This enables extremely stable results to be generated even with changing surfaces. They are used in highly dynamic processes that require very fast measurements with high accuracy. The entire electronics are integrated in the compact sensor.
