In contrast with conventional inductive sensors, displacement sensors that use eddy currents deliver high accuracy, bandwidth, and temperature stability. Plus the measuring principle allows measurements on ferro or non-ferromagnetic objects. Eddy-current sensors also resist harsh industrial environments subject to dirt, oil, pressure, and fluctuating temperatures.
Now Micro-Epsilon eddyNCDT 3060 eddy current sensor systems deliver high-precision displacement measurements. With ease of use, more than 400 compatible sensor models, and smart signal processing, the eddyNCDT 3060 elevates inductive displacement measurement. Plus an industrial-grade M12 Ethernet interface serves as the fieldbus connection. The compact controller design and connection make the eddy-current sensor suitable for integration into an array of machines.
The DT3061 controller provides enhanced features such as five-point calibration, setting the switching and temperature outputs, as well as storage of multiple characteristic curves.
