Autonnic: Versabuds are a range of controls developed by Autonnic Research that operate through surfaces using patented specialist fluxgate technology. No holes are required as a ‘Bud’ is simply bonded to a surface and a detector placed on the...

Baumer’s industrial pressure transmitter PBMN achieves maximum precision in measuring both low and high pressures by using different sensors. For pressures below 60 bar, a piezo-resistive silicon sensor is used. A metal thin-film sensor ideally...

HBM: For its type K-OL and K-OR optical strain gages, HBM now provides the K-OTC sensor, which can be used to compensate the temperature response of optical SGs. Experimental stress analysis is a typical application for optical strain gages (SG)...

Micro-Epsilon has launched a new miniature infrared sensor with an integrated controller. The thermoMETER CSlaser has a two-beam laser aiming feature, which marks the actual spot size at any distance. This means that faulty measurements on small...

Micro-Epsilon’s new high-end laser triangulation sensor is known as the optoNCDT 2300. The new series offers a measuring rate that can be set up to 50kHz. The sensor will be offered initially as a set of 5 models with measuring ranges between...
