Pepperl+Fuchs is bringing the process industry into the age of digital automation with Ethernet-APL. The Advanced Physical Layer is based on proven fieldbus cabling and therefore makes use of the widely available infrastructure. The result is...

Micro-Epsilon: The new mounting frame with capacitive sensors enables highly accurate measurements for two-sided thickness measurements. By mounting the sensors opposite each other, they are aligned exactly along one axis. This ensures maximum...

Micro-Hybrid: Keep it short and simple. This is also true for our infrared emitters. Our standard IR emitters now come with shortend pins of 6 mm length. Why? To make it more easy and faster. Shorter pins are easier to handle in further production...

Micro-Epsilon: With the inertialSENSOR INC5502D, Micro-Epsilon introduces a new inclination sensor for angle measurements with disturbance compensation that delivers accurate results even in the event of sudden movements, shocks and vibrations....

Pepperl+Fuchs: Optical positioning offers incredibly accurate, absolute positioning for driverless transport systems. This raises the question of whether optical tracking can withstand the mechanical challenges of logistics. Our system of rugged...

Temposonics, an Amphenol (NYSE:APH) Company, announces the newest expansions of the Temposonics® R-Series V position sensors. The advanced sensor is focused on industry 4.0 (IIoT) functions like machine monitoring, predictive maintenance and...

Heimann Sensor: Two Heimann Sensor engineers recently visited a local zoo and were equipped with cameras using four of Heimann Sensor’s infrared array lenses: HTPA 32x32d, HTPA 60x40d, HTPA 80x64d, HTPA 120x84. The objects comprised...

CleverIR: The IRt/c is an excellent solution to the problem of heater control for PC board preheat. IRt/c’s work particularly well in this process, since both the heating and measuring occur right at the surface, where the solder must...

Leuze electronic: In applications where corridor supply vehicles interact at transfer stations with a direct connection to a danger zone, operation must be as safe and efficient as possible: Throughout the entire area, the safety system must be...

CleverIR: This Fortune 200 global industrial manufacturer operates in 58 countries, and develops and provides capital equipment used in electronics manufacturing. These can be found in premier printed circuit board (PCB) assembly facilities...

Waycon:Just like a digital measuring sensor, the linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) is a mechanical measurement sensor. They both record geometric sizes in measurement technology, usually for linear position measurement. The digital...

Heimann Sensor: The possible uses of Heimann Sensor's infrared sensors, arrays and gas sensors are diverse: from medical applications such as fever measurement and capnography (measurement of the carbon dioxide content in a patient's exhaled air)...

Micro-Hybrid: JSIR340-4 bare die emitter available as wafer level. Micro-Hybrid offers customers the complete portfolio for NDIR gas measurement: we are now delivering emitter chips for industrial, medical or smart home applications from stock.

Micro-Hybrid: Evaluation set ment for typical industrial gases combines matching IR emitters and thermopile detctors and is available from stock. When manufacturing chemicals, medicines, colorants, paper, textiles or as well groceries, gases have...
