POSIC: Simplify inventory management and speed up delivery time by using the programmable version of POSIC’s popular ID1101C encoder kit. The resolution can be programmed from 128 up to 4096 CPR prior to or even after assembly into your...

Micronas announces the extension of its Hall-effect sensor portfolio by the new HAL 15xy switch family for a broad variety of automotive applications operating under harshest environmental conditions from –40 °C up to 150 °C ambient temperature.

Micro-Epsilon: Fiber optic sensors can be applied in automation and metrology under circumstances for which optical standard components are not suitable. High temperatures, restricted installation space, or poorly accessible mounting situations...

Micro-Epsilon: In order to minimise positioning errors in machine tools, the eddy current sensor SGS 4701 measures the thermal extension of high-frequency spindles. The spindle is at the heart of a machine tool and so plays a decisive role in the...

Heimann Sensor added another model to its family of infrared arrays. The new array with 82x62 elements and high thermal resolution broadens up the existing portfolio of thermopile arrays with 8x8, 16x4 and 32x31 elements. Two different optics can...

Honeywell introduced the industry’s first Nanopower Anisotropic Magnetoresistive Sensor ICs that provide the highest level of magnetic sensitivity (as low as 7 Gauss typical) while requiring nanopower (360 nA).  When compared to other widely...

OPTOcon AG: As each day is unique, so every fair is unique. The Sensor+Test will showcase this year many interesting innovations and products in the category sensor and measuring technology. The longtime experience of the Optocon AG is resembled...

Mantracourt: Electronic instrumentation company Mantracourt has announced the launch of the LCA20, a flexible digital signal conditioning amplifier for single or multiple load cell applications. The versatile LCA20 load cell weight indicator...

POSIC extends the application range of its popular ID1101L linear encoder with an extra long scale. This long scale has a length up to 550 mm and can easily be cut to length. The scale’s width of 4.4 mm and thickness of 0.9 mm match nicely with...

Micro-Epsilon: The multi-channel measurement system for capacitive displacement sensors based on the modularity principle, capaNCDT 6200; has now been extended by the new controller DT6230. Compared to its “little brother”, the DT6230 does not...

LCM Systems: No event, however large or small, is exempt from stringent health and safety regulations. From local AmDram to the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games, venues and staging companies are called on to strictly monitor loads that...

SIKO GmbH: For years SIKO wire length encoders have been leaders in the field of length measurement technology and have already proved their effectiveness – even under difficult application conditions. Robust, compact design with maximum...

Micronas offers its customers now a new, simpler and cost-effective way to program particular Micronas Hall sensor families for laboratory purposes. The new tiny USB kit is just the size of a standard USB flash drive and can easily and directly be...

Allegro MicroSystems introduces a new optimized Hall-effect sensing IC that provides a user-friendly solution for digital ring-magnet sensing, or when coupled with a magnet, ferromagnetic target sensing, in three-wire applications. The small...
