✨ New Generation 3D Sensors from Micro-Epsilon​

Micro-Epsilon has introduced surfaceCONTROL 3D 3560, a brand new series of 3D sensors for quality control in industrial automation systems. These sensors reduce complexity and optimize data transfer by combining the processing and evaluation of geometric data in a single device.

🎯 High Precision in a Single Shot​

The surfaceCONTROL 3D 3560 can capture all geometric data of an object in a single shot. Offering repeatability up to 0.25 µm in the Z-axis and lateral resolution up to 8 µm, this sensor detects even the smallest structures and height differences, providing detailed surface and shape analysis. With four different measuring fields, it can easily adapt to various component sizes.

🧠 Integrated Processing and Smart Communication​

One of the biggest advantages of these sensors is that they perform data evaluation directly within their integrated controller. This eliminates the need to transfer raw data to an external computer, allowing measurement programs to run faster and reducing data traffic on the network. Measured values or evaluated results can be transferred to image processing systems via GenICam and GigE Vision standards, in addition to industrial protocols such as PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, and UDP.

🏭 Industrial Applications and Durability​

The surfaceCONTROL 3D 3560 is designed for critical quality assurance tasks such as coplanarity inspection of printed circuit boards, in-line inspection of thermal conductive pastes, and high-resolution dimensional analysis of smartphone components. Thanks to its IP67-certified aluminum housing, it is resistant to diffuse light up to 10,000 lux and exhibits high mechanical resistance to shock and vibration, ensuring stable inspection operations even in harsh industrial conditions.
