Innovative technologies The basis for efficient production processes

The prerequisite for straightforward integration of our automation solutions is the possibility to realize all common connections to the customer’s machine. We therefore offer our customers all common interfaces and the data formats required around the world, such as

• CAN
• CANopen
• ControlNet
• DeviceNet
• Profibus
• Ethernet IP
• etc.

A likewise decisive, critical factor of success concerning connections is the real-time transmission of the required information, which is a core requirement especially with processes that are difficult to control, at high speeds etc.

What E+L therefore expects from its solutions is that they do not only meet the requirements mentioned above, but also lead the way with features relevant for the future, such as self-reporting devices, global positioning, preventive maintenance etc.

For challenging control tasks the product families of the line and matrix cameras with CCD and C-MOS technology, developed by E+L, are very often used. Not only do they make it possible to detect edges with a much higher accuracy, but also to detect several events on the web simultaneously  – depending on the application – that can then be used for web guiding.

The detection of surface defects concerning the structure and color intensity tops off the enormous spectrum. In addition, laser-based measurements such as width, thickness and profile measurements are offered.

Illumination

Bright field and dark field illumination, both continuous and as Xenon or LED flash with exposure times in the low microsecond range, allow for precise measuring technology, even at machine speeds of 1000 m/min and higher.
