Laser Triangulation up to a distance of
2m |
| |
 Measurement
technology company Micro-Epsilon has launched a new
laser sensor
with a 1m measuring range. The optoNCDT 1710-1000 sensor has a measuring
range that starts from a distance of one meter from the sensor, so
displacement can be measured at a distance of 2m from the sensor. The
sensor comes with an integrated controller in a compact 200mm x 83mm x
48mm housing. The diameter of the light spot is constant across the
complete beam path. With a measuring rate of 2.5kHz, the sensor is
technically superior to existing alternative sensors on the market,
providing 100µm resolution without averaging. 4 … 20 mA, 0 … 10V, RS422
or USB outputs are available. The optoNCDT 1710-1000 is used for
measurement objects that have a high degree of freedom or movement.
Other potential applications are in harsh ambient conditions, where the
sensor has to measure onto the object from a safe distance or if the
target is in a vacuum. The sensor also ... |

More than just a gateway |
| |
 With
the MA 200i family, Leuze electronic brings simple and convenient
access to a wide range of network structures for all non-fieldbus-capable
devices. Furthermore, the MA 200i modular interfacing unit can, by means
of the available switch function, be used in a line structure with all
Ethernet variants, such as PROFINET. With the MA 200i modular
interfacing unit, the connected device is selected by means of a rotary
switch. As a result, it is possible to connect not only identification
devices, e.g. barcode readers or RFID devices, but also positioning
systems, such as the BPS 30 or AMS 200 systems from Leuze electronic.
The evaluation unit and the MA 200i connector unit are connected by
means of a ready-made cable. This eliminates the error-prone and
sometimes complicated wiring. The electrical connection of the fieldbus,
the inputs and outputs, and the voltage supply is established by means
of standardized M12 connections. An integrated switch is available for
all Ethernet-related fieldbuses, such as PROFINET. ... |

Colibrys new MEMS accelerometer for
Attitude Heading and Reference Systems (AHRS) |
| |
|
Colibrys (Switzerland) Ltd. has announced today the release of
its new MS9005, a ±5g range MEMS accelerometer, to complement its
existing family of +/-2g and +/-10g products targeted primarily at AHRS
applications. Developers of AHRS using Colibrys
accelerometers will
benefit from this new product as an alternative to existing selection of
products, which are the traditional Colibrys-MS9002 and MS9010 sensors
dedicated to standard AHRS and the latest world’s best open-loop RS9010
accelerometer dedicated to mid range requirements. According to
Jean-Michel Stauffer, VP Sales & Marketing at Colibrys, “the MS9005
offers optimal accelerometer performance for applications that operate
in medium level vibration and shock environment but where absolute bias
and scale factor stability and reduced VRE (Vibration Rectification
Error) are valued. Typical examples of AHRS integrating Colibrys
accelerometers are airplanes, helicopters and UAV as well as backup
systems on large aircrafts and small jets. This new product strengthens
Colibrys’ position as the world leading supplier of MEMS accelerometers
for AHRS applications”. This product benefits from the specialised
knowledge and applications experience of Colibrys accelerometers in term
of reliability for harsh ... |

Energy-efficient ventilation with the
Climate Guard: optimum indoor climate with minimum energy expenditure |
| |
 The
Climate Guard from J. Dittrich Elektronic is a network-compatible
multi-sensor system that facilitates demand-controlled, energy-efficient
ventilation for special-purpose buildings. It measures the important
parameters of indoor air: the
carbon dioxide concentration by means of a
dual beam infrared photometer (NDIR); the temperature by means of a
bandgap sensor; and the relative humidity by means of a capacitive
polymer. Both the power supply and digital transmission of measured
values are effected via an Ethernet connection (PoE). Since the Climate
Guard has its own web server, it can be integrated directly into a local
network or the Internet and data called up using a web browser. This is
ideal for automated buildings. All three measured variables increase ... |

Precision work – Mechanical limit switch
My-Com |
| |
 With
a repeat accuracy of 1 micrometer, Baumer’s My-Com precision
switch is the most precise mechanical limit switch. The robust probe
tips made of high-performance ceramic, stainless steel or spherically
ground ruby enable the My-Com to operate reliably even under harsh
conditions with consistent repeat accuracy. For applications in moist or
heavily dusty environment the precision switch is available with
protection class IP 67. Its operating temperature ranges from -20 to +75
°C. The field of applications for mechanical limit switches is very
broad. Due to the versatile features as well as its compact housing
designs (M8 x 0.5), the My-Com is very interesting for machine tool
building or manufacturers of automatic assembly and handling machines.
The precision switch is also used to gauge various measuring equipment
or for calibration and quality control during the production ... |

Hydrogen detector with solid electrolyte
sensor improves fuel cell reliability |
| |
 The
demands the
automobile industry places on hydrogen detectors are
scarcely realisable: they have to be H2-specific, exact, durable and
robust, have short response times and in addition low power consumption.
They are also expected to compensate for temperature fluctuations and
humidity. Now J. Dittrich Elektronic is launching a hydrogen
detector on the market that is capable of meeting these demands, using a
novel electrochemical solid electrolyte sensor. Contrary to an
electrochemical cell, the sensor contains a solid electrolyte instead of
a liquid electrolyte. At the three-phase boundary of the measuring
electrode the hydrogen splits into protons and electrons; the resulting
current flow is proportional to the hydrogen concentration. Since this
reaction takes place at room temperature, the heating systems required
for classic solid electrolyte sensors are not needed. The power input of
this handily sized detector (L65 x W36 x H16 mm) is correspondingly low
at 0.32 watts. It contains no moving parts; silicone, halogen and
sulphuric compounds do not impair its functioning. In addition, it is
neither cross sensitive to HC, H2S, NO, NO2, CO nor to CO2. The sensor
has a fast response time ... |

Subsea Wellbore Pressure + Temperature
Transducer |
| |
 Stellar
Technology’s Model PT36XX subsea wellbore pressure and
temperature transducer delivers long-term performance in harsh
subsea oil and gas exploration environments. It has a total error band
of ±1% of full scale output and is designed for working pressures to
15,000 psi and seawater depths to 17,000 ft. Both temperature and
pressure sensors are located at the flush-end of the wellbore probe,
a design feature that improves dynamic response and alleviates clogging.
This wellbore sensor includes dual pressure containment to increase
reliability. In addition, the PT36XX is constructed with no external
load-bearing welds thus increasing service life and improving field
serviceability. The PT36XX is constructed of Inconel and 316 stainless
steel. It can be configured as a pressure only or temperature only unit.
The standard unit incorporates a 3 1/16 inch API flange although
customers can specify their flange of choice. Probe lengths are
available in lengths of 3” to 24”. Both probe lengths and electrical
terminations are customer-specified. PT36XX is also available with dual
redundant pressure sensors for extremely demanding ... |

Ultra Low Noise Triaxial Accelerometer
for Modal Analysis, 3333A Series |
| |
|
Dytran Instruments, Inc. has just released a new series of
miniature
triaxial accelerometers, weighing just 2.3 grams. The 3333A series
was designed for modal analysis testing and general purpose
vibration testing, and has a robust, laser welded titanium design
which includes ceramic sensing elements coupled to ultra low noise JFET
electronics. The 3333A series is unique in that it features an ultra
miniature 4-pin connector. Compared to the industry standard 4-pin
connector (1/4-28 thread size), the connector on the 3333A series is
approximately 20% smaller in size. This substantial size difference
allows for a more flexible, lighter weight cable, a smaller diameter for
the connector, and also contributes to the smaller size of the sensor
itself. With a low end frequency response of -10% down to 0.31 Hz, the
3333A series accelerometers offer excellent phase response at low
frequencies. It also features an excellent signal to noise ratio. The
3333A series are available in sensitivities of 10 mV/g, 50 mV/g and 100
mV/g. Featuring a hermetic seal and adhesive mount, this triaxial IEPE
accelerometer ... |
