Allegro MicroSystems: The new A1262 from Allegro MicroSystems Europe is a unique dual-channel Hall-effect latch featuring two-dimensional (2D) sensing via a combination of vertical and planar Hall elements. The quadrature outputs of the A1262...

Mentor Graphics: Abstract: Most layout and verification tools are focused and optimized on IC design and are not suitable for irregular shapes needed for MEMS designs. MEMS designers need layout and verification tools that can handle challenges...

Turck introduced a rugged, versatile laser sensor designed for difficult distance-based applications over a range of 25-300 mm. The new Q4X, developed by Turck's optic partner Banner Engineering, reliably detects distance...

Leuze electronic: The measuring ODS 10 and the switching HT 10 are optical sensors that reliably detect objects and measure distances with an operating range of up to 8 m and an accuracy of +/-30 mm. The devices have high tolerance with respect to...

Capacitec is introducing the new non-contact capacitive gap measurement GPD sensor wand that measures extruder lips gaps at operation temperatures up to 250°C. It functions the same as standard dual sensor wands except it opens up new...

Capacitec Industrial Gap Sensors, as seen in the example 2HPS-6-(0.6)-A-327 below, are typically custom made thicker with an earth grounded core design and can be made to accommodate a wider gap range compared to Capacitec thin gap wands. They are...

Capacitec, Inc., a global leader in the design and manufacture of non-contact capacitive displacement, gap and parallelism sensing technologies for scientific and industrial customers, has announced the successful application of non-contact gap...

Pepperl+Fuchs: The latest generation of dual sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs monitors the valve position of valve actuators in a reliable and contactless process. These valve actuators are primarily used to achieve rotary movements in fittings, valves,...

Mentor Graphics: Abstract: If you need to create your own models for an exotic device such as a TFT, solar cell, Thyristor, LDMOS, Image Sensor, or MEMS device, then Verilog-A gives you an efficient language for describing device behavior. Learn...

SICK AG: The Glare gloss sensor from SICK is specially designed to recognize and differentiate objects on the basis of their gloss in order to control production processes. The Glare sensor analyzes the spatial distribution of reflected light...

Pepperl+Fuchs: The new cable pull rotary encoders from Pepperl+Fuchs are available in different variants with a range of electrical interfaces. Robust magnetic rotary encoders ensure reliable measurement results. Cable pull rotary encoders are...

SICK AG: The new standard for reliable detection with an extended sensing range cannot be measured with a conventional yardstick. After all, with sensing ranges from 5 cm to 3.8 m, no object goes undetected by the PowerProx MultiTask photoelectric...

Baumer: In many respects the requirements in the elevator industry are extremely high: maximum transportation comfort, minimal costs and zero defect tolerance during operation in the harshest environments. Maximum transportation comfort is based...

Pepperl+Fuchs: The 2D laser scanners in the R2000 series from Pepperl+Fuchs enable reliable navigation of automated guided vehicles - even without the use of reflectors. The R2000 UHD - short for Ultra High Density - has a scan rate of 3000...
