eddyNCDT- High precision eddy current sensors for industrial applications

Published on : Tuesday 30-11--0001

Characteristics

• Non-contact measurement of displacement, distance and position on electrically conductive materials
• For demanding, industrial environments: dirt, pressure, temperature
• High resolution and temperature stability
• High bandwidth for fast measurements

• Customer-specific sensors and controllers
• Robust and industrial-grade sensor designs
• Versatile application possibilities due to comprehensive product range

Unmatched precision - even for dynamic measurements

Eddy current sensors from Micro-Epsilon are often used in applications where harsh ambient conditions are present and where maximum precision is required. Immunity to dirt, pressure and extreme temperature are distinctive features. The sensors even operate in high speed processes, detecting oscillations and vibrations using a maximum bandwidth of 100 kHz 

Largest sensor selection worldwide - ideal for harsh industrial environments

Eddy current sensors do not recognize non-conductive materials. For this reason, dust, dirt and oil do not affect the measurement. This fact, combined with the sensor’s robust, temperature-compensated design, enable measurements in harsh, industrial environments.

• Robust and reliable sensors IP67
• Pressure-resistant models up to 2,000 bar
• Resistant to oil, dust & dirt

Ideal for temperature fluctuations

The high precision measurement results provided by sensors can be influenced by fluctuating temperatures. However, every eddy current measurement system from Micro-Epsilon is equipped with an active temperature compensation feature that reconciles any thermal influences.

• Active temperature compensation of sensor, cable and controller
• Temperature range -40°C to +200°C and higher

Custom sensors for automation and OEMs

Application examples are often found where the standard versions of the sensors and the controller are performing at their limits. For these special tasks, the measuring systems can be modified according to a customer’s specific individual requirements. Changes requested include, for example, modified designs, target calibration, mounting options, individual cable lengths, modified measuring ranges or sensors with integrated controller.
