Products and applications sorted by industry

Aerospace, aviation and aeronautics

The applications in aviation and aeronautics range from the development of individual components to the use in the aircraft or rocket. The high reliability and high quality combined with many innovations in the sector make diverse uses of the sensors possible. The applications range from traditional uses to completely new approaches for individual measurement principles.

Conveying technology

Time and safety play a large part for the conveyance of persons and products. Every transport requires minimum time with maximum safety. It is practically self-evident that many movements must be monitored and controlled thereby. Position sensors from Micro-Epsilon are already in use in many different systems in order to ensure a controlled sequence of the movement there.

Measurement and automation technology

Automatically running processes must also be controlled whether the required target movement has actually been achieved. Their monitoring is often more complex the faster and more precisely the production ...

Automotive development

Vehicles must already prove their suitability for later use in the first stages of development. At the same time, not only functionalities but also stabilities, expansions, vibrations and many other things ...

Automotive production

Automotive production is automated to a high degree and therefore very closely connected with this field. Measurement technology is included in the machines and the production line in practically every ...

Automotive test bench

Prototypes of new models and finished makes are thoroughly tested in ongoing tests. Vehicles are examined in numerous tests on testers for complete vehicles or for individual components. Many different ...

Construction industry, building materials

This area means less the construction industry directly but rather the suppliers of the construction companies and also manufacturers of building materials. Modern buildings have high requirements which ...

Chemical industry, process automation

Very many process steps must run precisely and in a defined way in the chemical and pharmaceuticals industries as otherwise batches could be rejected due to strict regulations. Therefore the diverse automatically ...

Electrical engineering, electronics, semiconductors

Quality or function monitoring of the individual components plays a leading role for electrical engineering. This concept is particularly the case for inspection during the manufacture of semiconductors. ...

Energy technology, power stations

Energy technology is currently a more and more important topic. The use of modern sensors makes constant new developments in this field possible. Sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used both during the development ...

Precision mechanics, optics

A high degree of precision is important for precision mechanics and optical components. Therefore, sensors from Micro-Epsilon are frequently used for this area. The positioning of components plays a leading ...

Glass, ceramics

Glass and ceramics must always be free of defects for delivery. Systems or sensors from Micro-Epsilon are therefore often used to check the quality of the end product. The thickness, surface, contour and ...

Household appliances

Even household appliances require the use of displacement measurement technology. In this context, sensors are frequently used for increasing the ease of use with respect to the efficiency. Displacement ...

Academic institutes, universities

A particular interest of Micro-Epsilon is the promotion of research in academic institutes and universities. High precision measuring devices are required for research in these institutions; new techniques ...

Hydraulic systems, pneumatics

Valves are responsible in hydraulic systems and pneumatics that forces are routed where they are needed. Automatically functioning valves must also be checked for function which can best be achieved using ...

Plastic, rubber

The plastics area requires all kinds of measurements. Whether on final products such as motor vehicle tires, during the production of different compounds in the extruder or already previously during the ...

Food and beverage

Temperature measurement for process monitoring is very frequently used in the foodstuffs industry. The non-contact thermoMETER sensors from Micro-Epsilon are particularly suitable for this. Displacement ...

Machine building

Machine building today is more automated than ever before. Displacement measurement for assurance of the functions is being used more and more. Displacement measurement also plays an important role for ...

Medical technology, health care

Sensors from Micro-Epsilon are also used in medical technology. Modern operating techniques are no longer processed only manually; rather operations are supported by robot assistants where measuring technology ...

Metallurgy

High resistance to harsh ambient conditions is often the priority during the production of various metals. Many sensors can tolerate the high thermal loads with special protective cases and accessories. ...

Metal processing

For the metal processing, sensors are used in order to control or to detect the product itself on the one hand, on the other hand to check the movement of the processing machine. In this process, precision ...

Paper and printing technology

An important requirement is that the production in paper and printing technology runs without errors. Small deviations from the specified dimensions quickly become apparent during the fast running processes. ...

Shipbuilding and railway technology

Sensors for displacement measurement are frequently used in both these areas. In doing so, the application area starts as early as the manufacture. For example, sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used for ...

Defense & Security

There are many applications in the military and armaments area. Current equipment and vehicles usually show a high degree of electronics, automation and thus also sensors. Sensors from Micro-Epsilon are ...
