All the Nuances of Optical Design

Production processes in the pharmaceutical, medical and semiconductor industries often require flow measurement devices able to cope with low flow rates and construction from ultra-pure materials so as to maintain hygienic, sterile and sanitary conditions.

The single clean bore measurement tube construction of the Metraflow ultrasonic flowmeter makes it ideal for almost any application where cleanliness is important.

Made from high performance Perfluoroalkoxy Alkane (PFA) polymer, the Metraflow ultrasonic flowmeter from Titan Enterprises...

Optimized for industrial purposes and offering an accuracy that creates an unprecedented level of precision in optical distance and thickness measurements - these are the new white light interferometers from Micro-Epsilon. The portfolio comprises three different interferometer versions intended for different fields of applications. These systems achieve stable measurement results with resolutions in the subnanometer range.
    
With a resolution of < 30 picometers, the innovative interferoMETERs from Micro-Epsilon achieve a new...

Hydraulic applications rely on fluid power or the use of pressurized fluids to generate, control and transmit power. These types of systems can produce high power and high forces in small volumes and have long service lives. Fluid power is used in a wide range of industrial applications including self-propelled scissor lifts, injection molding, machine tools, steel making and metal extraction, paper industries, textile machinery, disability lifts and security and parking barriers.
 
Pressure sensors are critical components in these systems, where they are used...

The Atrato range of ultrasonic flowmeters from Titan Enterprises is capable of measuring very low flows, down to 2 ml/min., with excellent accuracy. The ultrasonic sound waves travelling down the Atrato flow tube are symmetrical, and as a result, any changes in a fluid’s velocity profile across the pipe diameter will be averaged out by the signal as it passes from the transmitter to the receiver.

As a result, the Atrato gives unmatched performance when metering low flows whether laminar or turbulent, and is also largely immune...

A fast measurement speed, achieved within tight cost and size constraints while integrating the primary conductor in SO packages without compromising the necessary insulation, is often as critical as the other high performances for current measurement in motor-drive applications.

A unique sensor from LEM International with an integrated primary conductor achieves optimum temperature accuracy, measuring from -40 to +125 °C in a surface mounted SO8 or SO16 package. 
  
• 10-30 A nominal current
• Better...

The song ‘Good Vibrations’ by the Beach Boys is a hit. The opposite of this are shocks, oscillations and vibrations that ruin the listening experience. The engineers at the electronics company BaiRuiKe Technology Co., Ltd. know how critical hi-fi purists are. In Shenzhen, near Hong Kong, they develop and manufacture high-quality tube amplifiers and the corresponding components.

In order to demonstrate the performance of the audio products to visitors from all over the world, they are received in a specially designed demonstration room. When...

Haydon Kerk has developed a Dual Guide Rail specifically for the Xenex Robot application. The Xenex robot uses ultraviolet light to disinfect and sanitize the surrounding area.

The Haydon Kerk Dual Guide mobilizes the UV light as it ascends and descends out of the robot. A field-friendly solution for Xenex’s disinfecting robot – helping hospitals reduce infection rates by 50-100% and contributing to the fight against COVID-19.
 

In developing the uEye XLE family, camera manufacturer IDS kept the focus on integrating essential camera functions, thus consistently optimising the cost of the models. Their versatile design, a practical USB3 interface (SuperSpeed USB, 5 Gpbs) and support of the USB3 Vision standard ensure a wide range of application fields – for example in manufacturing, measurement technology, traffic monitoring and agriculture. The compact industrial cameras can be ordered as of now.

Thanks to different housing variants (single-board with different mount...
