Micro-Epsilon Magneto-inductive sensors combine the advantages of both inductive and magnetic sensors. The mainSENSOR operates on a patented measuring principle developed by Micro-Epsilon. The sensor measures with high dynamics the distance to a...

Micro-Epsilon: The eddyNCDT 3001 is a new, efficient eddy current sensor whose compact dimensions have to date only been reserved for inductive sensors and proximity sensors. This compact sensor is housed in a M12 body and comes with integrated...

Waycon offers an excellent solution for measurement tasks, when high-resolution sensors are required to measure on challenging targets in difficult environments: The capacitive sensor series KS. As the target's material and surface have no...

HEIDENHAIN: When using torque motors in machine tools, it is often necessary to classify the encoders for safety-related applications according to SIL 2 (as per EN 61 508) or performance level "d" (as per EN ISO 13849), because the rotational axes...

BERTHOLD Technologies: Desalter / Separator operators within the oil producing and refining industries are faced with ever tightening environmental regulations regarding the reintroduction of effluent to waterways. To ensure the efficient control...

microsonic GmbH: The pico+TF sensors are the smallest chemically-resistant ultrasonic sensors available from microsonic. With four different detection ranges, they cover a measurement range of 20 mm to 1.3 m. They are available with both analogue...

Variohm EuroSensor: New from Contelec A.G. and available exclusively in the UK from Variohm EuroSensor, the Vert-X 79 magnetic rotary encoder is designed for high accuracy angular measurement on construction machines and heavy-duty mobile vehicle...

Zemic Europe: Omnidea uses Zemic S-type loadcells, assembly and transmitters in her project H.A.W.E. (High Altitude Wind Energy). This project focuses on a high altitude platform for wind energy conversion capable of varying the altitude at...

BCM Sensor has recently succeeded to integrate the flat leads into the pattern design of the metal foil strain gauges so that the flat leads become the part of the strain gauge. Flat leads are naturally insulated with the backing and encapsulation...

2E mechatronic: Inclination sensors determine the angle of an object in relation to the gravitational field of the Earth. The application possibilities for these sensors are varied: for example the inclination angle of the boom of a crane or a...

Variohm: Rega began designing and manufacturing audio equipment in 1973 and today, thanks to its obsession with innovation and the resurgence of interest for vinyl, is now the UK’s largest manufacturer of high-end turntables. Rega...

Baumer: The outstandingly robust magnetic absolute encoders of the MAGRES series by sensor expert Baumer have been reliably standing the test of time under harshest conditions throughout the world. Next encoder generation MAGRES EAM580 and EAM360...

First Sensor: In June, the DLR (German Aerospace Center) launched their satellite BIROS into space, the second from their FireBIRD mission. Both FireBIRD small satellites were developed under the direction of the DLR Institute for Optical Sensor...

Micro-Epsilon: The laser line of only 10mm enables the scanCONTROL 29xx-10/BL laser scanner to detect finest details. In the electronics production, the profile sensor is used for versatile monitoring tasks requiring maximum precision together...
