his applies to medical equipment and apparatus, as well as in the development and production of pharmaceuticals,
where high performance sensors are required in a wide range of measurement tasks. Medical technology, the pharmaceutical industry and biotechnology are sectors in which sensors and measurement technology are increasingly Epsilon offers measurement solutions for these industries to solve numerous measurement tasks. Here is a selection of successful projects that help illustrate the range of possible applications.
RECORDING THE DIAMETER OF STENTS Stents play a critical role in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. To ensure their functionality, precise adherence to the diameter is crucial. perform diameter checks and wire inspections of the stents during and after production, ensuring the highest level of quality assurance. The shadow cast principle even allows transparent materials to be measured accurately.
ONE-SIDED THICKNESS MEASUREMENT OF TUBES AND MEMBRANES
The thickness of medical technology products can be measured using confocal chromatic sensors. The confocal sensors measure the wall thickness

of transparent materials such as tubes, membranes and balloons, from just one side and deliver accuracy in the micrometre range. Uniform wall thickness is essential for the durability and function of tubes. The sensors measure the thickness without contact and so ensure consistently high quality during production, as they have no

SENSORS FOR MAXIMUM PRECISION AND QUALITY dynamics in confocal chromatic measurement technology. Due to a wide range of sensors and interface options, this series is suitable for various measurement applications in medical technology. The confocalDT systems are characterised by their fast measuring rates, which are specially designed
for dynamic measurement tasks. Dynamic control optimises the measurement accuracy even at high speeds. With sensor sizes starting at a diameter of just 4 mm, the confocalDT systems enable easy availability of models with a 90° angle also reduces the required installation depth, which facilitates measuring systems offer different aperture angles, whereby models with a large aperture angle or a high numerical aperture enable a particularly small
