5 istotnych powodów, dla których warto stosować czujniki konfokalne

Confocal sensors suitable for limited installation spaces

WObit offers a wide range of confocal sensors by Micro-Epsilonfor measurement tasks in many industries. The sensors feature a compact design, making them ideal for confined installation spaces such as drill holes or recesses. The control unit is also small in size, making it ideal for installation in control cabinets.

Solid, reliable and precise

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

Wide range of variants for various measuring tasks

The WObit company offers a portfolio of Micro-Epsilon confocal sensors, which is distinguished not only by its large number of sensors, but also a wide range of variants. For example, the Micro-Epsilon portfolio includes 31 different sensors with 16 different measurement ranges from 0.1 to 30 mm. In addition to standard sensors for precise measurement tasks, miniature confocal sensors with axial and radial measurement directions (90°) are also available. The 90-degree version can be used to measure inside holes and recesses. Micro-Epsilon also offers variants for measurements in vacuum.

Easy operation

Application development always focuses on the user: Micro-Epsilon sensors are easy to commission and simple to use. This provides an advanced web interface that can be easily accessed via your computer.

Unique properties

The emphasis is on high resolution, low linearity and high measurement speed to be able to quickly detect and process measurement values. A particular advantage is the indication of the angle of inclination, which is unique on the market in this form. Micro-Epsilon is easy to maintain with a fiber optic patch cable that can be replaced at any time.
