IDS adds a new model to its family of vision app-based industrial cameras. IDS NXT vegas with 1.3 MP CMOS colour sensor, liquid lens with autofocus, ToF sensor for distance measurement and integrated lighting will be available from the end of April. Plus: updates for firmware and cockpit.

What makes IDS NXT so special?

1. The freely programmable platform is not restricted to specific tasks. Users can change and set up their preferred vision tasks in a very short time. This eliminates the need to switch devices.

2. The image processing engine of devices like...

Resolve Optics has supplied several high temperature Short Wavelength Infrared (SWIR) endoscopic viewing systems to enable inspection of the blades in a gas turbine while in operation. To enable inspection during gas turbine operation required that the SWIR endoscope had to operate up to 950° C at the tip with 150PSI pressure and be able to withstand severe vibration. To overcome the negative effects of high temperature and pressure – Resolve Optics created a novel design which allowed introduction of cool air at high pressure at the mid-section of the endoscope....

The new 2668 … CR DC motor from FAULHABER offers considerably more power than comparable drives, and is the most powerful copper-graphite commutated DC-micromotor in its size class on the market. Thanks to a bigger NdFeB magnet and a high copper content in the winding, it supplies a rated torque of 70 mNm. As a result, it weighs just 189 g with a diameter of 26 mm. Furthermore, it reaches full power extremely quickly with its high pulse torque. The 2668 … CR is thus especially well suited for professional high-performance tools such as pruning shears...

IDS NXT – which is the name of the novel vision app-based industrial cameras from IDS – can be explained best by a smartphone analogy: Without apps, smartphones would be ordinary mobile phones. They turn them into versatile devices that perform a great number of helpful tasks. IDS transfers this principle into the world of image processing.
The newly developed, freely programmable platform is no longer restricted to specific tasks. Users can install various different vision apps on their IDS NXT devices and can even develop individual apps with the help of the IDS Software Development...

The eddyNCDT 3005 from Micro-Epsilon is a new, powerful eddy current measurement system for fast, high precision displacement measurements. Due to its pressure-resistant, thermally stable and compact design, the eddyNCDT 3005 is ideal for machine integration.

Non-contact eddy current sensors from Micro-Epsilon are designed for extremely high precision measurement of displacement, distance, position, oscillation and vibration, etc. to micrometer accuracies. Pressure, dirt, oil or high temperatures have almost no influence on measurement precision. This eddy current measurement system...

Titan Enterprises 800 Series turbine flowmeter and beverage meter have achieved NSF/ANSI 169 accreditation as approved equipment for food production and handling. As part of the NSF-certification process Titan Enterprises were required to submit samples of the 800 Series and Beverage meter to NSF for analysis. The detailed analysis by NSF included a technical review, a materials review, physical evaluation and a literature/marking evaluation. The competitively priced 800 series turbine flowmeter is designed to give high performance over 6 flow ranges from 0.05 to 15 L/min. The devices totally...
