Sensor Product of the Year
Company Name: Micro-Epsilon
Product Name: eddyNCDT 3005
Supporting Statement:
Micro-Epsilon’s eddyNCDT 3005 is a high performance inductive (eddy current) sensor system designed for precise and fast displacement measurements on metal targets in harsh environments. With its compact controller housing, high temperature stability and robust design, the eddyNCDT 3005 is ideally suited for industrial measurement tasks and automation solutions.
The robust design of the eddyNCDT 3005 sensors makes them suitable for integration into machines and systems. The sensor head, cable and controller (integrated in the cable) are all sealed against pressure and liquid ingress. The system performs in environments where pressure, dirt, oil and high temperatures occur. It offers a unique combination of micrometer precision, robustness and flexibility by adapting the system to the customer’s application. Active temperature compensation enables accurate measurement results even in environments where large temperature fluctuations occur.
The sensors are designed for ambient temperatures up to a maximum of +125 °C as standard and can be custom engineered for temperatures from -20 °C to 180 °C. The measuring system is suitable for an ambient pressure of up to 10 bar. The system is factory-calibrated for either ferromagnetic or non-ferromagnetic materials, depending on customer requirements, with special calibration options for specific target or mounting geometries. The compact design of the controller with a diameter of just 12 mm allows integration into confined and hard-to-reach installation spaces. The measurement signal is delivered via analogue voltage or via RS485 enabling networking possibilities and compatibility with modern industrial Ethernet interfaces via a gateway module.
Setting new standards in terms of eddy current displacement measurement, the eddyNCDT 3005 is the perfect candidate for Sensor Product of the Year.
