The new eddyNCDT 3001 is a cost-effective eddy current sensor with housing that has to date only been reserved for inductive sensors and proximity sensors. This compact sensor comes with integrated elec-tronics including temperature compensation, offering an excellent price/performance ratio, as well as easy operation. The high meas-urement accuracy and linearity as well as the high frequency response rate of 5 kHz are outstanding characteristics compared to other sensors in the same price class. The sensors are factory-calibrated for ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic metals in the measuring range of 4 mm. The sensors are protected to IP67. As the sensors are easy to use and cost-effective, they are particularly suitable for standard production in OEM applications. The new DT3001series opens up new application fields for the Micro-Epsilon product range based on the eddy current principle.
Eddy current sensors from Micro-Epsilon measure displacement, distance, position, oscillations, vibrations, etc. Non-contact eddy current sensors offer extremely precise measurements where sub-micron ac-curacy is required. Modifications to the standard eddy current sensors are often required, particularly for mid-size and large series. What can be modified? Sensors can be adapted in many different ways to suit customer-specific applications. e.g. changes to the cable, sensor material and design, and to the controller. Customized sensors can be produced efficiently, which results in considerable cost reductions.
