Micro-Epsilon's optical micrometers use the transmitted light principle (ThruBeam micrometer). The transmitter generates a parallel light curtain, which is then relayed to the receiving unit via a lens setup. If an item enters the light path, the beam is disrupted.
The ensuing shadowing is detected by the receiving optics and reported as a measurement value. Most optical micrometers are used for dimensional measurements in manufacturing, machine monitoring, and quality assurance. Diameter, gap, height, and position parameters are all accurately identified.
Wear-Free and Durable Design for Reliable Measurements

All optoCONTROL laser micrometers operate without rotating mirrors and are therefore entirely wear-free. The parallel light curtain is generated by specific optics in the light source. High-quality components in the receiving optics, including filters and lenses, allow for high micrometer precision. This is why optoCONTROL micrometers are ideal for applications that require high accuracy and reliability.
Active Tilt Correction of the Measuring Object

The optoCONTROL 2700 determines the precise alignment and angle of the measuring item. The integrated assessment automatically adjusts the measured value to the tilt of the measuring item. As a consequence, the actual measurement value is returned. Inclination correction is offered for diameter measurement programs. The detected image can be displayed on the web interface for visual inspection.
