[Powerful laser sensor for industry and automation](
Micro-Epsilon Group
Micro-Epsilon’s new laser triangulation sensor [optoNCDT 1750]( is designed for precise and high speed displacement, distance, and position measurements. Due to its extremely compact size, the sensor can also be integrated into restricted installation spaces. The sensor operates almost independent of the material and color. Its flexibility makes it suitable for real-time quality inspection tasks in almost any industry such as electronics production, automotive, packaging, machine building, or automation technology.
