Highlights of the Micro-Epsilon UK
stand include the official UK launch
of the company's Blue Laser Sensors,
as well as demonstrations of its
thermoIMAGER TIM160, and
scanCONTROL 2710 laser profile
sensor with Ethernet interface.
Blue Laser Sensors operate on the laser triangulation measuring principle and use blue laser technology. The sensors are suitable for measurements on hot, glowing metals, particularly in hot steel processing, as well as for measuring organic materials.
The wavelength of the blue laser is said to offer significant benefits: The blue laser light does not penetrate the measuring object due to its reduced wavelength of 405nm, and the blue laser generates a lower intensity laser spot on the surface, therefore offering stable, precise measurements.
