Exergen Global: In the process of making PET bottles (polyethylene terephthalate) there is a fine line where the high output per bottle blowing machinery and the requested quality of the bottle come together. Taking into account that such machines...

Baumer: Precise, non-contact inline-measurements by optical distance sensors without process interruptions are vital in high-quality product manufacture. In measurements on demanding surfaces such as galvanized or brushed metal, the OM70 laser...

Senix Corporation is once again a proud sponsor of the Solar Boat team at Technical University Delft in the Netherlands. Senix ultrasonic sensors play a key role in controlling the hydrofoiling process which, in turn, provides much of the...

HBM: Test and measurement specialist, HBM’s autumn webinars – providing practical knowledge for users of force and strain gauge measurement tools – are now available for registration. The company’s September sessions...

SIKO GmbH: When angles, positions and speeds have to be detected accurately in utility vehicles, engineers are often faced with a difficult task. The rotary encoder has to be sturdy, flexible for mechanical adaptation, offer the right interface...

RIFTEK: The system is intended for non-contact measuring of width of sheet materials such as tapes, boards, plates, and so on. It is a stand-alone software and hardware system that contains optical micrometers and the indication device. System parameters...

RIFTEK: Riftek Lamia is a multifunctional and simple to use software application for control of automated industrial systems on the base of 2D laser scanners. Riftek Lamia is intended for: recognizing, tracking and measuring geometric parameters of objects...

Exergen Global: In many IRt/c installations, such as paint curing, web drying, printing, etc., the temperature control system must be able to accurately measure materials with a variety of colors. Ideally the same calibration set-up would be used...

RIFTEK: The  systems are designed  for making automatic measurement of  geometric parameters  of railway wheel sets in  the course of  incoming and outgoing inspections carried out in railcar/wheel shops,  wagon depots....

Exergen Global: Flags, carpet, tiles and everything else that is printed on Large Format Printers with protective paint needs to be completely dried, cured or fixated before the end-products can be cut, folded, or otherwise worked on. Depending on...

Exergen Global: Infrared temperature sensors are ideally suited for use in manufacturing, textiles, printing and other production settings, providing a highly effective solution to ensure machinery does not overheat or otherwise malfunction....

Baumer: The 3D technique shape from shading can be used for automated quality control in virtually every industry. Evaluating the spreading of light intensity identifies even the slightest irregularities on the object surface, such as cracks or scratches....

Exergen Global: IRt/c infrared thermocouples can accurately control the temperature of rotating and moving stainless steel heaters common in the packaging industry, without touching the heaters. Typically, uncoated stainless steel heaters are...

Exergen Global: We like our food to be as fresh as can be. Vacuum-Sealing packaging can extend the shelf life of food products by preventing exposure to the natural atmosphere, thereby slowing down the microbial deterioration of the product. The...
