catalog was a printed document listing all the products assisted engineering (CAE) systems, assuring a platform for
independent data exchange. The global world features more

reference data, general recommendations for using products,

Computer technologies evolved the electronic version of

In metalworking, e-catalogs are becoming the dominant
factor in describing a company’s product range and services.
The cutting tool industry is no exception. A “soft” digital

Sensors for automotive production
Cockpit centering: optoNCDT laser sensors must operate
independently of the surfaces, as different reflections occur due to
the multitude of different surface paints used – from dark to bright
colors and from mat to shiny surfaces.
In fully automated processing, a large number of sensors is required for monitoring and control tasks. Due to the
increasing requirements for process stability, production reliability and quality, ever increasing precision and data
rates are necessary. In terms of Industry 4.0, sensors from Micro-Epsilon ensure that data is acquired in real-
time and can be used for the respective application. From the pressing plant to assembly and quality assurance,
sensors are used in process control, monitoring of supplier parts and in final inspection, while optimizing the
production process.
