Microprecision introduced a family of “swiss made” sensors for position detection. The new MP600 series of mechanical sensors very accurately detects two positions within a single, compact electromechanical component. Two independent commutations can sense two previously defined positions to within a few microns of accuracy.

The distance between the two positions can be set specifically for each application, between 0.3mm and 1.5mm. The fixed NC and NO contacts activate with no measurable hysteresis.

Repeatability is less than...

When 3D image processing is used in compute-intensive applications, interfaces and CPU power quickly become a bottleneck. Wouldn't it be convenient if the 3D camera already did some of the computing? Ensenso XR is the first stereo vision camera offered by IDS that processes 3D data directly in the FPGA. The camera family initially consists of XR30 and XR36 models. They are very robust thanks to IP65/67 protection class, feature 1.6 MP Sony sensors and can detect objects at working distances of up to 5 metres.

Since the camera calculates 3D data itself, a high-performance...

The Micro-Epsilon intelligent pyrometer offers automatic hot and cold spot detection in industrial applications which enables effective and reliable temperature control. Designed for standalone operation without a PC, it combines the advantages of a robust pyrometer with those of an infrared camera.

It stands out due to its excellent optical resolution with a state-of-the-art motorized focus which enables remote focusing of the lens. When the predefined threshold is reached, an alert signal can be output via the integrated process interface.  

Due...

Haydon Kerk Pittman introduces the EC042B IDEA® Motor with CANopen. Save time, money and space using a pre-engineered, factory-configured and tested servo system. The integrated package of motor, drive, and feedback connections in a compact and programmable unit reduces motion system components and simplifies machine troubleshooting.

The EC042B IDEA® Motor with CANopen or RS-485 communication is ideal for applications that require precision and compact packing, such as lab automation, medical devices, communications equipment, semiconductor processing...

Resolve Optics is a leader in the design and manufacture specialist optical systems that will effectively operate up to 950°C without the need for additional cooling equipment.

This has made it possible to undertake applications including optical inspection inside an engine or operating furnace as well as non-invasive monitoring of high temperature processes including incineration, recycling, smelting and chemical manufacturing.

For such high temperature applications, optical systems need to be designed to ensure performance is maintained at the...

FMAD NEO is the latest single-stage filter family for 3-phase systems with a neutral line. Especially compact with high performance, the new filter series is ideally suited for use in today's more portable industrial machines, designed to occupy less floor space in manufacturing plants.

Three-phase control cabinets almost always have severe space constraints. SCHURTER addresses this problem with a completely new filter design, which is much more compact than older generations. The new, almost cubed, design makes optimum use of available space in...

FLIR Systems A8300sc MWIR camera offers the speed and sensitivity researchers need to capture rapid thermal events and record the most accurate temperature measurements. Incorporating cooled Indium Antimonide (InSb) detectors, the camera is able to produce crisp 1280 x 720-pixel thermal images with very low noise. This allows engineers and scientists to capture the finest image details making them perfect for electronics inspection, aerial thermal mapping, non-destructive material testing, and industrial R&D applications.

For...

With over 35 years’ experience in temperature measurement, Calex manufactures non-contact sensors for a wide range of uses in industrial manufacturing and condition monitoring. For example, ExTemp sensors are ATEX and IECEx certified Intrinsically Safe for use in hazardous areas including Zone 0. They provide a near-instant reading of surface temperature at a very affordable price.

Temperature ranges from -20°C to 1000°C are available. The sensor’s 90% response time is just 240 ms, and a linear 4-20 mA output is provided to transmit the measurement to instrumentation...
