ThruBeam Micrometer
Optical micrometers from MICRO-EPSILON work according to the transmitted light method (ThruBeam micrometers). Here, the transmitter produces a parallel light curtain that is transmitted via a lens arrangement into the receiver unit. The beam is interrupted if an object is in the light path. The resulting shadow is detected by the receiving optics and output as a measured value. Most optical micrometers are used for dimensional measurements in production, machine monitoring and quality assurance. Parameters such as diameter, gap, height and position are detected with high accuracy.
Micrometers from MICRO-EPSILON operate according to the transmitted light principle (ThruBeam). A parallel light curtain is generated by a transmitter and strikes a receiver unit. If a target is guided into the light beam, the beam is interrupted. The resulting shadowing is detected by the receiving optics and output as geometrical value. These three series use several ThruBeam technologies to serve the widest possible range of applications. Most optical micrometers are used for two-dimensional measurements in production and quality assurance as well as for service tasks. In this case, variables such as diameter, gap, height, position but also the received light quantity are detected.
