The Micro-Epsilon optoNCDT ILR2250 distance sensor is designed for both outdoor and industrial measurement tasks and can be easily integrated thanks to its compact design. It measures distances up to 150 m in automated and industrial applications.

There are applications in numerous industries in which sensors must be placed at a safe distance from the measurement object, for example because the object emits a lot of heat as in the metal industry. It is used in transport, logistics and materials handling technology as well as in...

The new compact spot finder IR camera Xi 410 from Optris combines a robust, compact pyrometer and an advanced IR camera with a resolution of 384 x 240 pixels.

The autonomous operation with automatic spot finder function as well as the direct analog output and affordable price make it a perfect match for all safety-relevant applications in the fields of preventive fire safety and machine and equipment condition monitoring.

If the network connection is disrupted or there is a problem with the connected PC, the camera...

The new uEye XCP camera family from IDS Imaging Development Systems shows that cost-effective industrial cameras with C-mount can also be offered in the industry's smallest standard format.

Initially, the USB3 camera will be launched with the 2.3 MP AR0234 global shutter sensor and the 5 MP AR0521 rolling shutter sensor from ON Semiconductor. Their cost-optimised design makes them ideal for high-volume and price-sensitive projects.

The cameras feature a fully enclosed die-cast zinc housing measuring just 29 x 29 x 17 mm. Thanks to...

Accurate and compact liquid flow meters of Bronkhorst’s ES-FLOW™ series operate on a unique liquid independent ultrasonic wave measuring principle and have been developed to measure low flow rates, e.g. of aditives, from 2 to 1500 l/h.

Thanks to the combination of a straight sensor tube with zero dead volume the flow meter is self-draining. The flow meter version with orbital TIG-welded flanges is CIP cleanable, and meets 3-A sanitary standards for hygienic applications. Wetted parts are made of stainless steel, the exterior...

BCM SENSOR has been manufacturing and supplying high quality ceramic pressure sensors (model 301B) and oil-filled pressure sensors (model 101B). These two series pressure sensors are of piezoresistive working principle and cover wide measuring ranges from 0~0.1bar to 0~1000bar.

They are used not only for mass production of pressure transmitters but also being integrated in systems to measure or monitor the system pressure. These two series pressure sensors feature different pros and cons when used for different applications as...

The Micro-Epsilon high-precision surfaceCONTROL 3D 3500 is an innovative 3D snapshot sensor that is ideal for automated inline inspection of geometries, shapes and surfaces on diffuse reflective surfaces such as metal, plastic or ceramic. 

The 3D sensor features a compact design and high measurement accuracy combined with high data processing speed. With a z repeatability of up to 0.4 µm, the sensor sets new standards in high-precision 3D metrology. Even the smallest planarity deviations and height differences...

In October, the next free software update for the AI package IDS NXT ocean will be released. In addition to usability, the focus is also on making artificial intelligence comprehensible for the user.

The new tools Attention Maps and Confusion Matrix illustrate how the AI in the industrial cameras works and which decisions it makes. Anyone who wants to test the industrial-grade embedded vision platform IDS NXT ocean and evaluate its potential for their own applications should take a look at the IDS NXT ocean...
