HBM Test and Measurement (HBM), the internationally leading manufacturer of strain gauges (SG), offers 260 types of SGs available for delivery immediately from stock. Users can quickly configure the desired SG through the HBMshop and order at any...

Turck is now offering its flagship uprox3 sensor also in an IO-Link-capable version. The intelligent interface makes the factor 1 inductive proximity switch a universal sensor that can be parameterized to suit over 100,000...

Pewatron: This new capacitive pressure sensor handles measurements in the range of 0 - 60 mbar and can be trimmed electronically to 0 - 12 mbar. In addition to this measurement range, it is also possible to make corrections to account for effects...

Baumer: Precondition for maximum travel convenience is excellent control quality, which in turn is solely ensured by high signal accuracy output by the feedback encoder at the lift motor. Thanks to high-precision mechanics down to the μm range,...

Allegro MicroSystems: The new A1262 from Allegro MicroSystems Europe is a unique dual-channel Hall-effect latch featuring two-dimensional (2D) sensing via a combination of vertical and planar Hall elements. The quadrature outputs of the A1262...

Mentor Graphics: Abstract: Most layout and verification tools are focused and optimized on IC design and are not suitable for irregular shapes needed for MEMS designs. MEMS designers need layout and verification tools that can handle challenges...

Turck introduced a rugged, versatile laser sensor designed for difficult distance-based applications over a range of 25-300 mm. The new Q4X, developed by Turck's optic partner Banner Engineering, reliably detects distance...

Leuze electronic: The measuring ODS 10 and the switching HT 10 are optical sensors that reliably detect objects and measure distances with an operating range of up to 8 m and an accuracy of +/-30 mm. The devices have high tolerance with respect to...

Capacitec is introducing the new non-contact capacitive gap measurement GPD sensor wand that measures extruder lips gaps at operation temperatures up to 250°C. It functions the same as standard dual sensor wands except it opens up new...

Capacitec Industrial Gap Sensors, as seen in the example 2HPS-6-(0.6)-A-327 below, are typically custom made thicker with an earth grounded core design and can be made to accommodate a wider gap range compared to Capacitec thin gap wands. They are...

Capacitec, Inc., a global leader in the design and manufacture of non-contact capacitive displacement, gap and parallelism sensing technologies for scientific and industrial customers, has announced the successful application of non-contact gap...

Pepperl+Fuchs: The latest generation of dual sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs monitors the valve position of valve actuators in a reliable and contactless process. These valve actuators are primarily used to achieve rotary movements in fittings, valves,...

Mentor Graphics: Abstract: If you need to create your own models for an exotic device such as a TFT, solar cell, Thyristor, LDMOS, Image Sensor, or MEMS device, then Verilog-A gives you an efficient language for describing device behavior. Learn...

SICK AG: The Glare gloss sensor from SICK is specially designed to recognize and differentiate objects on the basis of their gloss in order to control production processes. The Glare sensor analyzes the spatial distribution of reflected light...
