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...

Micro-Epsilon: The idiamCONTROL sensor unit optimizes the maintenance of extruders by reliably detecting wear of housing bores. This non-contact method of inspection uses capacitive sensors that are arranged opposite to one another.

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...

Leuze electronic: In 2016, Leuze electronic was included in the world market leader index (WMF index) for the first time, as the champion in the field of optical sensors. Leuze electronic was also awarded the "World market leader champion 2017"...

Baumer has expanded the successful CleverLevel series with two new variants – the LBFH and LBFI. They are available with two switching outputs, qTeach and a 360° output status indicator. In the same way as their predecessors the level...

Massa Products Corporation: The MassaSonic® FlatPack® 95 kHz sensors is a low profile ultrasonic transmitter module. It is optimized to offer continuous non-contact distance measurement of pastes, fluids, or uneven solid...

Massa Products Corporation: MassaSonic® PulStar® Standard Series ultrasonic sensors are ruggedly designed narrow beam transmitting modules that provide reliable constant level or distance measurement of pastes, fluids,...
