Pepperl+Fuchs: At the 2019 SPS trade fair in Nuremberg, Pepperl+Fuchs, the world's leading manufacturer of industrial sensors and sensor systems, was presenting the new R2300 multi-layer scanner. The sensor for 3-D object detection impresses by...

ams Sensors Germany GmbH: ams, a leading worldwide supplier of high performance sensor solutions, has introduced the first inductive position sensor for highspeed, automotive and industrial electric motors to be available as a standard product on...

Variohm EuroSensor’s new EPT31LE series pressure sensor features extremely fast power-up and response times and a low power consumption that perfectly suits mobile equipment pressure monitoring used in combination with battery and/or solar powered...

Exergen Global: Exergen IRt/c™ non-contact temperature sensors can push production line performance to record highs and give an instant boost in start-up speed. Dr. Pompei has derived a mathematical model to describe the thermal processes...

Turck: With an optimized encoder portfolio, Turck will serve in future a wide range of customer requirements – from price sensitive encoders, right through to particularly robust and wear free devices. From three product lines, users have...

Zemic Europe: Today, 4.5 billion people live without a safe toilet and 892 million people still practise open defecation. To improve this situation, IHE Delft is working on new technologies in faecal sludge management, and keeps working closely...

Waycon: The newly developed inductive sensors in the LV series from WayCon Positionsmesstechnik GmbH cover measuring ranges of up to 25 mm with a linearity of up to 0.1 %. Thanks to the strength of the stainless steel housing with...

Baumer: Switching point, switching window, filter, sonic  beam width, output logic: when a new sensor is installed in a machine, a variety of parameters must be adjusted to the application. The parameter server function via the IO-Link...

Exergen Global: Measuring the temperature of bread and pastry dough while mixing is difficult at best with conventional contact thermocouple probes, due to breakage and possible contamination of the food. However, the temperature is quite...

Exergen Global: Measuring the temperature of bread and pastry dough while mixing is important since too high a temperature will cause too much rise, resulting in holes in the baked product, and too low a temperature will not allow the dough to...

Exergen Global: Tire temperature is of critical concern in automotive racing for two reasons: 1) Tire temperature directly affects the tire’s adhesion and wear characteristics. For example, as it takes lap after lap around an oval track, a...

Micro-Epsilon: The capaNCDT MD6-22 from Micro-Epsilon is a capacitive measuring device designed for mobile, high precision gap and distance measurements. Robust but lightweight, this dual-channel handheld gauge is used for commissioning, service...

Senix: SAFE sensors are designed for level or distance measurements in areas where ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, vapors or liquids are likely to exist under normal operating conditions. They offer resistance to most chemicals...

SONOTEC: Application Report: A conveyor belt is the carrying medium of a belt conveyor system which is widely used across many industrial branches, especially in mining industries for bulk handling of raw materials like coal, coke, iron ore etc....
