Precision sensor supplier Micro-Epsilon has extended its optoCONTROL series of optical micrometers with the optoCONTROL 2700-40, a high performance LED micrometer for the most demanding measurement tasks. Characterised by its high precision and sampling rate with a measuring range of 40 mm, the LED micrometer is suitable for measuring contours, diameters, gaps, edges and segments in a wide range of inline quality control, automated production and machine monitoring applications.
The optoCONTROL 2700-40 is an LED micrometer that operates according to the shadow casting principle and has telecentric optics on both sides. These enable precise measurement of small objects down to 0.3 mm. The target is uniformly illuminated and a real-time inclination correction feature ensures extremely accurate measurements, even when the target object is placed at an angle or tilted up to 45 degrees from the plane of the light beam. This means that an orthogonal alignment of the measuring object is not necessary.
