Micro-Epsilon optoCONTROL 2520 laser micrometer with integrated controller

The Micro-Epsilon optoCONTROL 2520 laser micrometer with integrated controller has an extremely compact design. An Ethernet-based web interface simplifies operation, integration and remote access during the manufacturing process.

The device offers high accuracy with variable mounting distances between 100 mm and 2 m. The distance between measurement object and receiver can be freely selected and the measurement object can be placed at any position within the light curtain. The measuring range is 46 mm. A variety of measurement values, such as single edges, diameter and centre axis, can be displayed or hidden in the chart at the user’s discretion. In addition, the system provides various averaging and filter methods, as well as statistics features. Available interfaces are Ethernet, EtherCAT and RS422.

The device is suitable for numerous applications in quality control and production. For example, the optical micrometer can measure diameters, edges and gaps on the target object, and up to eight segments can be measured and output simultaneously. The smallest detectable object diameter is 0.5 mm, which means that IC pins, gaps, and pin strips in electronics production can be measured accurately. This precision micrometer is also suitable for detecting large objects and for performing large-distance measurements. The large measuring distance of up to 2 m ensures flexible installation options for transmitter and receiver in production lines where space is limited. Any machine parts that may protrude into the measurement curtain can be masked.
