Turck: At this year's SPS IPC Drives fair Turck is presenting its new range of inductive proximity switches in the M8 housing. The technology of the ferrite core sensors has been completely upgraded, thus increasing the switching distance by up to...

Turck is expanding its portfolio of inductive encoders by adding the INCR variant with fixed pulse rate to the QR24 series. This allows the user to directly order the exact resolution required for their application ex works, regardless of whether...

Turck's Ri-DSU35 is the first contactless inductive angle sensor that also has ATEX and IEC-Ex approval for use in zones 1 and 21. Compared to dual sensors, the Ri-DSU35 offers considerable benefits for the position measurement of valves and stop...

SNT Sensortechnik AG: Recently SNT Sensortechnik AG presented the least expensive SWISS MADE ultrasonic sensor, thanks to rigorous cost management in construction and production. The sensors of the UPR-B series are characterized by good price and...

Balluff: Optical window sensors are typically used for reliable detection and exact counting of fast-flying or falling parts in production or packaging processes. However, if the installation space is particularly small or if difficult working...

Balluff: Photoelectric minisensors from Balluff stand out not only with their switching precision, but also their compact form factors and low weight. New in this lineup is the first tubular mini-sensor with background suppression (HGA) and...

Zemic Europe are proud to announce that we have been awarded  the ATEX European approval for our Ring torsion loadcell BM24R (from 60kg-60t). Enabling our customers to use this load cell in explosive environments.  We are also very...

Leuze electronic: After winning the 2016 GIT Security Award and the 2016 Industry Prize, the RSL 400 has now received third place in the 2016 handling award. A major industry honor, the handling award was presented for the third time by the trade...

Jewell Instruments: The LCF-2330 inclinometer series now includes a 4-20mA output signal option for applications that require long cable runs. This dual-axis tilt sensor is fluid damped to minimize noise and vibration interference while also...

SIKO GmbH: The new Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC has now been in force for some time, making it increasingly important for safety-related features to be implemented in mechanical engineering. In doing so, it is essential that safety features are...

Variohm EuroSensor: Now available from Variohm EuroSensor, Contelec’s recently announced Vert-X 37MT Hall Effect encoder combines a 16-bit single-turn angle resolution with 16-bit multi-turn count (65536 turns) for unconstrained position...

Micro-Epsilon: Optical measurement techniques play an essential role in the increasing automation of manufacturing and inspection processes. Most modern laser triangulation technology is responsible for fast, high precision and reliable...

Micro-Epsilon: Eddy current displacement sensors occupy a unique position amongst inductive measuring methods and combine several advantages. They can be individually adapted to different requirements and measure wear-free and non-contact with...

Exergen Global: When using infrared temperature sensors (IRt/c) in curing systems there are three common challenges that you should consider: 1. During the curing process, the intense heat from the curing lamps conducted to the sensor area can...
