scanCONTROL 2900
scanCONTROL 2900: sensors and measurement devices by Micro-Epsilon for measurement & 3d systems.
Measurement solutions for Profile & surface
From point to profile to surface
A point sensor gives one number, a line scanner gives a cross-section, and a snapshot sensor gives a whole surface. Cost and cycle time rise in the same order, so the useful question is what the smallest measurement is that answers your real inspection question.
