Laser scanners from Micro-Epsilon rank among the top-performing profile sensors worldwide in terms of accuracy and measuring speed. They capture, measure, and analyze profiles on various object surfaces without contact.
The available models, offered with different measuring ranges, are optimized for industrial applications. Versions designed for custom evaluation programming are available for system integrators.
With integrated processing capabilities, the scanCONTROL SMART scanners handle numerous measurement tasks. These models also operate without an external controller, significantly reducing installation complexity.
Profile Scanners with Red Laser and Patented Blue Laser Scanners

Laser scanners from Micro-Epsilon are offered with either a red laser diode or patented Blue Laser Technology. Models equipped with a blue laser line are particularly suited for profile measurements on red-hot glowing metals, as well as on transparent and organic surfaces. The blue-violet laser beam provides significantly greater stability and does not penetrate the target object during measurement.
Measurement applications using blue laser scanners on red-hot objects above 700 °C and on transparent materials such as glass and plastics are protected by patent law. The scanCONTROL laser scanners deliver outstanding signal stability, ensuring accurate measurement results on these surfaces.
Compact Profile Sensors
The compact construction and lightweight design create new opportunities in profile measurement applications. Because the controller is integrated into the housing of the scanCONTROL profile sensors, cabling requirements are minimized, simplifying mechanical integration.
Owing to their compact form and high-profile frequency, these laser profile sensors are well-suited for dynamic measurement tasks, such as production monitoring, robotic assembly operations, or rail inspection.
