Micro-Epsilon UK & Ireland

Glenn Wedgbrow, Business Development Manager at Micro-Epsilon UK, discusses the importance of sensors as the tools for quality control and the key to optimising the complex and often energy-intensive processes involved in plastics processing. 💡 Read more >> https://lnkd.in/ebzXj4cr #MicroEpsilonUK #SensorSystems #TestingAndMeasurement #PlasticsProcessing #UKPlasticsIndustry

In this second video we take a look at how the Micro-Epsilon optoCONTROL CLS1000 Fibre Optic system is able to detect the hidden defects in plastic opaque pipes due to its IR light source and its combination with our high quality glass fibre optics in thru-beam configuration.

The optoCONTROL CLS1000 optoelectronic fibre optic sensor from Micro-Epsilon is suitable for use in automation thanks to its variable switching outputs. The CLS1000 is used for reliable position monitoring as well as for position and presence detection. The fibre optic sensor comprises a CFS sensor and a CLS1000 controller. The wide detection and operating ranges of up to 2000 mm make the fibre optic sensor ideal for the detection of components even at great distances. Due to the small design of the CFS sensors, the CLS1000 optoelectronic fibre optic sensor series is particularly suitable for use in confined installation spaces. In this short video clip we highlight the controllers capability to 'self-teach' on a dynamic target ensuring stable detection and response, even when the process cannot be stopped for setup.

In May, Micro-Epsilon welcomed representatives from the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC ) to our system facilities in Ortenburg, Germany to conduct a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) on their two new thicknessCONTROL Triple Track C-Frame systems for inline thickness monitoring of the facility’s new Cathode and Anode calendaring lines. The introduction of the thicknessCONTROL systems to the calendaring lines will provide UKBIC enhanced measurement capability and greater precision in control of coating thicknesses during calendaring. Final install and commissioning of the systems took place at UKBIC in June 2025. #moreprecision #microepsilon #turnkeysystems #processcontrol #batteryproduction #cathode #anode #thickness #quality #ukbic

Micro-Epsilon offers innovative systems for thickness measurements. Performance and quality, as well as reliability of products and services have made Micro-Epsilon one of the leading suppliers of laser thickness gauges used in the metals industry. https://lnkd.in/gSye-dGn This post is sponsored by Micro-Epsilon.

🔍 "How flat is flat enough?" – When microns matter In a world where digital twins, AI, and automated quality control are no longer futuristic concepts, a new question arises in modern industry: 👉 How can we detect the slightest deviations before they become problems? Our surfaceCONTROL 3D snapshot sensor delivers precision where traditional methods reach their limits: ✅ non-contact ✅ ultra-precise ✅ inline-capable Especially when it comes to components with complex geometries – e.g. in electronics, medical technology, or watchmaking – “seeing” alone is not enough. Our sensors capture structure, shape, and flatness in full 3D – down to the micrometer. 🎯 This creates the data foundation for automated evaluation, predictive maintenance – and AI-driven process optimization.

Great to see the new Flexible Pilot Line in action at UKBIC including our very own dual track thicknessCONTROL C-Frame incorporating Micro-Epsilon confocal chromatic technology for the very highest precision in thickness measurement. #moreprecision #microepsilon #thickness #battery

We have seen a marked increase in requests for Draw Wire sensors because other suppliers are unable to deliver or are cost prohibitive!  Micro-Epsilon has one of the largest portfolios of draw wire sensors with many sensors available from stock or within short times of 3-4 weeks. If you are struggling to secure your units from your normal supplier then give us a call or email us with your requirements. Email: info@micro-epsilon.co.uk Call: +44 151 355 6070 Draw-wire sensors precisely measure displacements and distances in a variety of OEM, industrial and R&D applications. Reliable and easy to install, they are also ideally suited to high quantity applications due to their relatively low cost. Environmental protection levels range from IP54 to IP69(K) making the sensors suitable for extreme industrial environments. Sensors with GRP bodies are also available for lower cost applications. Many different electrical output options are available including potentiometer, voltage, current, incremental and absolute encoder, as well as PROFIBUS and CANBUS on most ranges. Draw wire sensors can be used for R&D, test, OEM integration and retrofit to an existing process or machine environment. Micro Epsilon are specialists in OEM modification of draw wire sensor designs for OEM applications and have many modified variants already existing as well as the ability to develop complete new specifications if required. #drawwiresensors #lifting #displacement #stringpots #yoyos #telescopic #cranes #platforms #telehandlers #moreprecision #microepsilon

The thermoMETER FI (Fully Integrated) from Micro-Epsilon is a fully integrated pyrometer for non-contact temperature measurements from -40°C to +1100°C. It is characterised by its extremely compact design, as the sensor and controller are combined in a robust stainless steel housing, which means the space required for the entire system is very small. Its attractive price-performance ratio makes the sensor ideal for series production and OEM applications. Compared to its predecessor (the thermoMETER CS), the thermoMETER FI offers a larger, preset temperature measuring range and a more powerful open-collector output for easier control of external devices. The pyrometer is fully compatible (mechanically, electrically and communications protocol) with the thermoMETER CS. It is protected to IP63 and is suitable for ambient temperatures from -20°C to +80°C. The inline and process-capable pyrometer has a response time of 20ms and has two status LEDs integrated in the cable outlet, which also serve as an alarm signal and alignment aid during commissioning. On delivery, the pyrometer is already preset and only needs to be wired via the open ends. Optionally, the pyrometer can be connected with the sensorTOOL software via a USB cable for more detailed configuration.

The thermoMETER SE (Separate Electronics) from Micro-Epsilon is a miniature infrared pyrometer for measuring surface temperatures from -40°C to +1100°C and is ideal for integration into machines and systems. The sensor and controller are permanently connected to each other with the miniature controller integrated into the connection cable. Connection is direct and fast via the open cable ends. Optionally, the system can be operated via a USB adapter and configured using the sensorTOOL software. Compared to its predecessors (the thermoMETER CSmi and CSmi2W) the thermoMETER SE offers better temperature resolution (50mK) and a larger, preset temperature range. In addition, the analogue output is preconfigured for voltage or current (2-wire) and can now also be changed directly by the customer. The protection rating of the controller is also higher because the LED indicator has been omitted and the open-collector output is more powerful, making it easier to control external devices.
