Dytran Redesigns Ultra Low Noise Cables |
| |
 Dytran
Instruments is pleased to announce the redesign of our ultra low
noise cables. This includes the following model numbers: 6013A, 6019A,
6025A, 6036A, 6049A and 6056A. Prior to this change, these cables met
all industry standard requirements for low noise cables. The benefit of
the revision is that Dytran’s low noise cables now exceed the
performance of competitors’ low noise cables and takes us to a whole new
era of ultra low noise performance. The revised low noise cables were
designed to reduce triboelectric noise. Triboelectric noise is the
unwanted generation of electrical charges by the chafing together of
insulation layers inside cables during flexing caused by vibration and
shock induced motion. Our new low noise cables were specially treated to
reduce triboelectric noise. ... |

Automatic Filter Changer Improves Testing
Efficiency and Testing Safety for Engine and Vehicle Testing |
| |
 Sierra’s
Automatic Filter Changer is a compact and portable safety and automation
tool that should be a part of every emissions test cell. The Automatic
Filter Changer allows the engineer to stay out of the test cell during
testing as several tests are done in succession. Our automatic filter
changer works seamlessly with the Model BG®-3 particulate partial flow
sampling system to fully automate particulate collection to greatly
improve testing efficiency and more importantly, testing safety. The
system can hold up to 22 (dependent on filter size, 47mm, 70mm, or 90mm)
single or double filter cartridges. Sierra will customize the filter
changer for 47mm, 70mm or 90mm applications. For example, Sierra has
designed the changer to work interchangeably with both 47mm and 70mm.
The system meets all Federal Register requirements and has proven
through ... |

The new MLD 500 and MLD 300 series—simply
innovative |
| |
 Leuze
electronic presents Multiple Light Beam Safety Devices and, for the
first time, 3-beam Transceiver systems as well in various function
classes for access guarding, also with Muting. And no additional modules
are necessary! It is advantageous from a cost effectiveness and optimum
usability standpoint to use safety sensors that are characterized by
functions that match the specific requirements of the given application
as closely as possible. Leuze electronic developed the new MLD 300 (type
2, PLd) and MLD 500 (type 4, PLe) series Multiple Light Beam Safety
Devices especially with this in mind. The individual models of the
respective series are equipped with certain features and capabilities
(function classes). By selecting a given function class, the user can
appropriately determine the performance of his safety sensor for the
application and the respective requirements. For example, the
start/restart interlock and contactor monitoring functions are available
and, if necessary, various Muting modes can be selected. As a result,
the series can be used both as standard access guarding as well as for
applications where sequential, parallel or partial Muting is required.
Additional Muting devices are not required, thus simplifying ... |

Line sensor ParCon with extended
measuring distance |
| |
 Baumer
complements its line sensor family ParCon with a new long-range version
for distances of up to 200 mm. With the ParCon line sensors web edges in
the packaging, textile, or paper industry can be measured precisely and
therefore positioned exactly. Additionally, object widths can be
determined, regardless of the objects’ position within the measuring
field. The result is issued as an analog value (4…20 mA) that can be
processed easily. Thanks to the high measuring frequency of up to 1 kHz,
it is possible to measure even rapidly moving objects precisely. At the
same time the sensor operates with a resolution of up to 0.1 mm. Due to
the extended measuring distance, the sensor provides new possibilities,
especially in applications where widths are measured. Furthermore, the
sensor can be mounted more flexibly, e.g. when greater distances between
the sensor and the object to be detected are required. The compact
housing (34 x 16.5 x 67 mm) contains sender, receiver, special optics
for creating the parallel beam as well as the evaluation electronics.
Therefore, only a reflector is needed to operate the sensor. It is
delivered with the sensor either as a reflector clamp or a self-adhesive
reflecting foil. This concept offers a new, cost-effective alternative
and facilitates the installation considerably. .. |

Impulse Hammers with TEDS |
| |
 Dytran
Instruments, Inc. now offers impulse hammers with TEDS capability.
The 5800BT Series is a new family of impulse hammers (similar to the
5800B Series) which feature
acceleration compensation and IEEE 1451.4
TEDS. With a head weight of 100 grams, they are available in five
ranges, between 50 LbF and 1,000 LbF. The 5800BT Series utilize an
exclusive acceleration compensated quartz force sensor to ensure that
hammer self-resonances do not produce spurious “bumps” in the hammer
output spectrum. The high rigidity of the force sensor combined with
acceleration compensation produces a clean, smooth output signal which
is an exact representation of the forcing function, both in amplitude
and phase. Dytran’s piezoelectric impulse hammers of a head assembly
containing a
force sensor and a handle with a rubber grip, as well as
interchangeable head extenders and several different impact tips ... |

Differential Inductive Position Sensor |
| |
 POSIC
introduces the differential inductive
position sensor IS2201. The sensor
measures only 6.2 x 8.6 mm with a thickness of 0.9 mm and has a
differential analog output signal. The bandwidth is 40 kHz at an airgap
up to 1.5 mm. Targets can be made of ferromagnetic or electrically
conducting materials like steel, copper, aluminum and brass. The sensor
detects a lateral movement in front of the sensor-face, e.g. a gear or
slotted disc for speed control, a single tooth for index- or
stop-position or for short-range linear measurement. Typical
applications are in the automation, mechatronics and motion-control
domains for measurement of speed, stop-position or short-range linear
position. Markets served include industrial, automotive, robotics,
medical, instrumentation, laboratory automation, office equipment.
Evaluation kits containing 2 cabled sensors, a linear or rotary target,
a sensor-holder, a target-holder and an interface board ... |
