scanCONTROL 2900
scanCONTROL 2900: sensors and measurement devices by Micro-Epsilon for measurement & 3d systems.
Measurement solutions for Temperature
Non-contact temperature and the emissivity problem
An infrared thermometer measures radiation, not temperature, and converts between the two using an emissivity value. Set that value wrong and a perfectly good instrument reports a wrong number with complete confidence. We match the optics and tune the emissivity against your real material.

Alignment of solar panels
Aligning solar panels in relation to the course of the sun increases the energy yield, and therefore the effectiveness of a solar panel. Only if the solar panels are always at an optimum angle to the sun, can they achieve their maximum…

Monitoring the air flap openings
In order to control air supply, the air flaps automatically open and close depending on the temperature. Draw-wire displacement sensors monitor the position of the open air flap. In order to control air supply, the air flaps automatically…
-
Monitoring the extension of pipelines
Pipelines in power plants are exposed to high pressures and temperatures. These extreme loads cause the pipes to vibrate and result in thermal expansions of up to 1 m at some points. Constant hangers are used to compensate for these thermal…
-
Monitoring the tower oscillation
Wind turbines are exposed to oscillations and shock loads. In order to avoid damage and expensive downtime, these tower oscillations are monitored. When exceeding limit values, the plant is reliably shut down. From load history, lifetime…
