Laser scanner now even more robust and space-saving in installation
In many applications the cable exit from a sensor has little impact on its installation location , but when it comes to mounting sensors in tight spaces such as pipes and tubes then every millimetre counts !
Precision sensor manufacturer Micro- Epsilon has introduced two new model options for its scanCONTROL 30xx range of laser profile sensors ( laser scanners ) – a rear tail cable option and a protective housing option .
The rear-tail option with cable integrated on the rear of the sensor allows even more space-saving installation . The length of the integrated cable is 30cm . This version eliminates the need for upward wiring , which means around 80mm less installation height is required . Compared to the standard sensor model , almost 50 % of the installation space can be saved .

The new protective housing option makes the sensors even more robust in harsh industrial environments . The housing is available for sensors in the 25x0 and 29x0 series with measuring ranges of 25 , 50 and 100mm , as well as sensors in the 30x0 and 30x2 series with measuring ranges of 25 to 200mm .
The protective housing offers connections for air flushing and liquid cooling , an adjustable splash guard , a replaceable protective glass and a free-blowing device . If the built-in free blowing device is supplied with compressed air , dirt , dust and other contaminants can be removed directly , which extends cleaning intervals . The protective housing with additional water cooling offers protection against mechanical damage as well as protection against high ambient temperatures . Alternatively , it is also possible to heat the sensor at particularly low outside temperatures . If the protective screen is damaged , it can be replaced easily and cost-effectively .
The scanCONTROL 30xx sensor is among the highest performing laser
The scanCONTROL 30xx sensor is among the highest performing laser scanners in terms of its size , accuracy and measuring rate .
scanners in terms of its size , accuracy and measuring rate . The sensor has a compact housing with integrated controller , allowing fast integration into confined spaces . Available with either red or blue laser technology , the sensor provides calibrated 2D profile data with up to 5.5 million points per second . A maximum profile frequency of 10kHz and innovative exposure control enable precise profile measurements in high speed , dynamic processes . A high resolution sensor matrix offers a resolution of 2,048 points per profile
