Micro-Epsilon has launched the profileGAUGE C.ODC, a sensor system designed for high-precision inline quality control. The device monitors round materials by measuring profiles, diameters, and object positions.
Why it matters
This system is engineered to enhance industrial manufacturing processes by automating quality inspections. Its design addresses common measurement challenges by compensating for object tilting during production.
The profileGAUGE C.ODC utilizes two optoCONTROL 2700 precision micrometers in an X-arrangement. It identifies contaminants and supports EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, TCP, UDP, and FTP interfaces.
The players
Micro-Epsilon
Micro-Epsilon is a manufacturer of precision sensors, measurement systems, and inspection technology used across global industrial markets.
The details
The system measures targets on two axes simultaneously to ensure accuracy. It features automatic adjustments to correct for object inclination at a rate of 5 kHz while detecting contaminants within the measurement field.
