Micro-Epsilon: The laser-line profile sensor, scanCONTROL 2800, makes use of the triangulation principle for two-dimensional acquisition of profiles on a variety of different target surfaces. In contrast to familiar point laser sensors, a line...

Micro-Epsilon: Non-contact displacement sensors using eddy current technology measure distances, displacements, or positions of any electrically-conductive target. These objects may have both ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic properties. Due to...

Micro-Epsilon: The electromagnetic sensors induSENSOR are based on the well-proven inductive principle. They are employed both in single and large-scale applications. The measurement ranges of the displacement transducers extend from a few tenths...

Micro-Epsilon: The non-contact displacement sensors in the optoNCDT series operate according to the triangulation principle. Different models are suitable depending on the requirement. From the low-cost model to the ultrafast precision sensor....

Kistler: Electromechanical NC joining systems are taking over from the familiar hydraulic presses and conventional joining modules. In addition to environmental, energy, space, installation and maintenance benefits, it is primarily manufacturing...

Melexis adds light-to-voltage sensor to the SensorEyeCTM series. Melexis announces the launch of the MLX75305 Light-to-Voltage SensorEyeCTM. This is the second member of the SensorEyeCTM series of optical sensors specifically designed for high...

Micro-Epsilon: The optoNCDT 2200 laser triangulation sensor, Micro-Epsilon’s fastest in the series to date, will be expanded by a version that is many times faster. Thanks to a new CCD array, the new optoNCDT 2220 sensor series now delivers a...

Xsens Technologies, supplier of the widely used MTi-range of inertial motion trackers, has released new software to further improve user experience. The innovative software and firmware contains predefined settings for optimized orientation output...

Leuze electronic: Intelligent sensors boast the ability (among others) to perform several tasks at one time. A task can therefore generally be completed quicker and easier – and the user saves money. The new ROTOSCAN RS4-4M Safety Laser Scanner...

Baumer: With the hydrostatic pressure transmitter ED753, Baumer’s product segment Process Instrumentation launches a very compact depth gauge with an excellent value for money. Like his bigger brother ED752, the ED753 is a piezo-resistive...

HBM: Designed to help customers in selecting strain gages, the eStrain Gage Catalog highlights HBM’s latest innovations. The software now generates quotes and outputs a completed fax order form for placing the order. A plausibility check is...

microsonic GmbH: Edge sensors are required for web control to detect the edge of the web material and  maintain it on the correct lateral position. With materials such as highly transparent foils, light-sensitive materials, materials with...

microsonic GmbH: The ultrasonic sensors of the lcs range by microsonic have been employed in machines and systems for many years. microsonic has now completely re-engineered the lcs sensors and added some interesting new features. The sensors now...

SONOTEC: The ultrasonic pig detector SONOPIPE 12 was developed for pig detection in pipelines. It controls the section of cleaning- and testing pigs in pipes for oil, liquid gases and water. The advantage of this easy and reliable method is the...
