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...

Waycon offers an excellent solution for measurement tasks, when high-resolution sensors are required to measure on challenging targets in difficult environments: The capacitive sensor series KS. As the target's material and surface have no...

HEIDENHAIN: When using torque motors in machine tools, it is often necessary to classify the encoders for safety-related applications according to SIL 2 (as per EN 61 508) or performance level "d" (as per EN ISO 13849), because the rotational axes...

BERTHOLD Technologies: Desalter / Separator operators within the oil producing and refining industries are faced with ever tightening environmental regulations regarding the reintroduction of effluent to waterways. To ensure the efficient control...

microsonic GmbH: The pico+TF sensors are the smallest chemically-resistant ultrasonic sensors available from microsonic. With four different detection ranges, they cover a measurement range of 20 mm to 1.3 m. They are available with both analogue...

Variohm EuroSensor: New from Contelec A.G. and available exclusively in the UK from Variohm EuroSensor, the Vert-X 79 magnetic rotary encoder is designed for high accuracy angular measurement on construction machines and heavy-duty mobile vehicle...

Zemic Europe: Omnidea uses Zemic S-type loadcells, assembly and transmitters in her project H.A.W.E. (High Altitude Wind Energy). This project focuses on a high altitude platform for wind energy conversion capable of varying the altitude at...
