'Human' 3D force sensors detect smallest deformation
Conrad Business Supplies is now exclusively stocking OptoForce’s latest 3D Force Sensors, the OMD range. OptoForce’s patented technology provides a radical new way of gripping and measuring forces. Using infrared light, combined with optical grade elastomers to detect even the smallest deformation in the shape of the outer surface, the OMD sensor can almost ‘feel’ like a human, offering users precise results of the directi...
New Ultrasonic Sensor From Morgan Can Detect Liquid Level Without Physical Contact
Morgan Advanced Materials has introduced a new ultrasonic sensing solution, capable of detecting the level of liquids in a variety of container sizes without needing to come into physical contact with the contents.
Now you sense it, now you don’t…
Established sensing principals are getting a make-over thanks to MEMS technology which is creating quite a stir from both a technology and commercial perspective, as Philip Ling discovers.
'Smart Analog Solution Kit' suits process automation
Renesas Electronics Europe has announced the availability of its 'Sense it! – Smart Analog Solution Kit', a complete evaluation platform for the Smart Analog IC101 (SAIC101) device. The kit includes all the hardware, software components and demonstration programmes sensor system manufacturers need to start development on their smart industrial sensors.
The 'Audiomotive' revolution
How technology is meeting the growing demand for better quality in-car audio. By Lance Williams, VP of Automotive Strategy, ON Semiconductor.
EM simulation for space applications
Satellites provide a challenging environment for electromagnetic components and antennas. The limited available space has to be shared by multiple tightly-clustered systems that have to operate correctly in extreme thermal conditions. EM simulation plays a critical role in ensuring that mission-critical components work as intended once in orbit. This webinar will give an overview of how the range of simulation tools in CST STUDIO SUITE can be use...
APT Power Transducer from NK Technologies Feature New Power Supply Options to Support Wider Range of Applications
NK Technologies’ externally powered APT Series Power Transducers are now available with 24VAC/DC, 120VAC or 240VAC power supply options to support a wider range of applications. These transducers produce an industry standard 4-20 mA, 0-5 VDC or 0-10 VDC output that can help users monitor and report power usage, enabling them to take proactive corrective action when power rises to abnormal levels or falls to unexpected levels. The APT power ...
Advanced technology hired for challenging inspection work
The inspection of austenitic stainless steel welds presents a higher level of difficulty in comparison with other welds because of the large grain structure, which for ultrasonic testing can cause beam skewing, splitting and attenuation. So, when James Fisher NDT (JF NDT) was awarded a contract to develop and implement an inspection procedure for austenitic stainless steel welds, the company contacted Neil Harrap, NDT Market Manager for Ashtead T...
Grinding with half of the axes
At Bottero Group, KOLLMORGEN´s AKD series drives perform multiple functions
High Accuracy, Open Frame, Thermally Stable Galvo Scanner
The highly repeatable and thermally stable feedback sensors used on the AGV-HPO scanner systems can be calibrated down to single-digit, micron-level accuracy over the field of view. With the extremely low thermal gain drift performance of the position transducers, complex, high-density laser machining applications will maintain consistent micron-level feature placement accuracy over the lifetime of the process. Likewise, high throughput applicati...
