scanCONTROL by Micro-Epsilon

2D and 3D profile, surface and gap measurement

Micro-Epsilon's scanCONTROL series laser scanners are among the highest quality profile sensors in the world in terms of accuracy and sampling rate. There are different models capable of providing solutions to most industrial applications thanks to (scanCONTROL SMART) its intelligence integrated into the sensor itself. Scanners are very helpful in measurements such as profiles, gap, height, width, length, depth, edges, slots, angles, roundness, presence, uniformity, deformation….

• Compact  – no external driver required. The scanCONTROL profile sensor controllers integrated into the housing simplify wiring layout and mechanical integration.
• High profile resolution for detection of the finest details. Laser profile sensors are ideal for dynamic measurement tasks, for example in production control or for robot assembly processes.
• High measurement speed for dynamic tasks
• Powerful software for parameterization and visualization
• SDK for software integration and high operational security

• Sensors of the scanCONTROL SMART classes can directly transfer measured values to control systems using the following interfaces:

• Ethernet (UDP or Modbus TCP)
• RS422 (ASCII or Modbus RTU)
• Analog and digital switching signals (with scanCONTROL output unit)
• Profinet, Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT (with scanCONTROL gateway)

 

 

Available with red laser diode or patented blue laser diode.
Blue laser line laser scanners are preferably used for profile measurements on red-hot, incandescent metals as well as transparent and organic surfaces. Although it allows for significantly greater stability, the blue laser beam does not penetrate the measurement object.
