First Sensor presents a new development module for its silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) for the detection of ultra-low light levels in the wavelength range from 350 nm to 900 nm. The module integrates a stable voltage supply, signal amplification,...

Optris GmbH: The optris PI 450 and optris PI 640 infrared cameras can now also be calibrated for a temperature measurement range of up to 1500 °C. This allows the two high-resolution cameras to be integrated into applications which far exceed...

Turck's compact and wear-free Ri360-QR20 miniature encoder is especially designed for use in mobile machinery. The new encoder series with IP68/IP69K protection exceeds the e1/E1 requirements and comes in a compact 71 x 64 x 20 mm housing. It is...

Turck: Besides the “High-End” line, Turck's “Standard” line of RU ultrasonic sensors are now also available with an analog output. As well as the analog output, the new sensor also offers a special switching output, with a...

BCM Sensor has recently successfully upgraded the backing materials of metal foil strain gauges. Now the options of backing material are FIBA: F: advanced phenolic resin, I: modified polyimide resin, B: laminated polyetherketone, A: laminated...

Turck has added a variant with an IO-Link output to its basic “Compact” series of ultrasonic sensors. Users can use IO-Link for the process values or continue to use the switching output of the sensor. The switch point is taught via...

Turck: A variant with an IO-Link interface completes from June Turck's portfolio of wear-free stainless steel encoders. The robust stainless steel variants of the contactless QR24 inductive encoder series are specially designed for operation in...

Sensirion: The SGP gas sensor is based on Sensirion’s multi-pixel platform, which integrates four gas sensing elements into a very small 2.45 x 2.45 x 0.9 mm3 DFN package featuring a fully calibrated air quality output signal.

Baumer: Whether in industrial environments or in rough outdoor use – increasing of efficiency, reliability and durability are of primary importance. Therefore, components like encoders must meet the many different requirements, ensure...

First Sensor announces the successful qualification of its highly accurate capacitive silicon inertial sensors for the measurement of inclination, acceleration and vibration together with the start of serial production in April, 2017. The...

Micro-Epsilon: The thicknessSENSOR is particularly well suited to precision measurement of narrow strips. This compact sensor system from Micro-Epsilon extends the C-frame product range for thickness measurement. The sensor provides extremely high...

Micro-Epsilon Magneto-inductive sensors combine the advantages of both inductive and magnetic sensors. The mainSENSOR operates on a patented measuring principle developed by Micro-Epsilon. The sensor measures with high dynamics the distance to a...

Micro-Epsilon: The eddyNCDT 3001 is a new, efficient eddy current sensor whose compact dimensions have to date only been reserved for inductive sensors and proximity sensors. This compact sensor is housed in a M12 body and comes with integrated...
