MICRO-EPSILON Messtechnik (est. 1968, Ortenburg, Germany) provides high-precision non-contact sensors and inline measurement systems with submicron accuracy, high sampling rates and Industry 4.0 connectivity for battery, automotive, semiconductor and medical manufacturing.
MICRO-EPSILON Messtechnik, founded in 1968 and based in Ortenburg, Germany, designs and manufactures high-precision sensors and measurement systems for industrial automation and manufacturing. Founded by engineer Franz Frischen and now managed by the Wisspeintner family, the company focuses on displacement, thickness and temperature measurement technologies for applications including battery production, automotive, electronics and medical devices. Its mission emphasizes long-term technological development, measurement accuracy, and reliable customer partnerships to improve process control, product quality, and production yield across automated lines worldwide.
Micro-Epsilon develops non-contact measurement technologies including capacitive and eddy-current displacement sensors, laser triangulation, confocal chromatic sensors, white-light interferometers and infrared pyrometers. Instruments deliver submicron to subnanometer resolution, high sampling rates (controllers supporting up to 25 kHz) and Ethernet/EtherCAT interfaces for Industry 4.0 integration. Non-contact sensing reduces contamination and mechanical wear, supports high-speed roll-to-roll processes, and can operate across wide temperature ranges and in potentially explosive atmospheres using passive sensing principles. Multi-sensor systems enable inline thickness, profile and defect detection with traceable process data for automated quality assurance.
Product lines include displacement and distance sensors (eddyNCDT, capaNCDT, optoNCDT, confocalDT), interferometers, infrared pyrometers (thermoMETER), 3D/laser profile scanners (scanCONTROL, surfaceCONTROL) and inline thickness systems (thicknessGAUGE). Products offer high-speed, non-contact measurement, submicron precision, modular integration and Ethernet connectivity for applications in battery and cell manufacturing, EVs, ESS, semiconductor, automotive, medical devices and industrial automation.
MICRO-EPSILON is a privately held GmbH & Co. KG under family ownership.
