Miniature series with high ranges |
| |
 Leuze
electronic: Measuring just 23. 1 x 12 x 8 mm, all device versions of
the 2 Series are considerably smaller than a matchbox. At the same time,
these throughbeam photoelectric sensors, retro-reflective
photoelectric sensors and diffuse reflection light scanners convince
with ranges of up to 2 m. With their small, homogenous and highly
visible light spot generated by a pin-point LED, the sensors are ideal
for the detection of small parts. These tiny devices are unbeatable when
the designer is confronted with highly constrained spaces yet needs a
highly flexible solution in addition to good performance (pnp/npn
switching output, light/dark switching). Secure and simple mounting of
the sensors with standard workshop M3 screws further increases their
appeal. The housing, molded with thermoelastic elastomer, guarantees
permanent protection against environmental influences ... |

JUMO Wtrans - Wireless temperature
measuring system with ATEX approval and electronic modules up to 125°C |
| |
 More
versions have been added to the JUMO Wtrans
temperature measuring system, taking into account diverse customer
requests for products covering a wide variety of different areas of
application. New to the product line is a transmitter with ATEX
approval. Also new to the Wtrans family of products are transmitters
containing a highly temperature-resistant electronics module, that can
be used up to a temperature of 125°C. Transmitters with ATEX approval
can be put directly into a potentially explosive atmosphere. The
receiver is mounted outside the actual EX zone. This means that
cost-intensive installations with protective barriers and supply
isolators are unnecessary. JUMO’s wireless technology shows a totally
new approach here, and allows the customer to transmit temperature
measurements across boundaries, out of the EX zone. The Wtrans
transmitter can be located in Zone 0, right up to the process
connection. In this example, the probe handle is in Zone 1. Of course,
it is also possible to operate the entire instrument in Zone 1. ... |

Pedal Force
Load Cell used in Brake
Testing |
| |
 FUTEK
Advanced Sensor Technology, Inc. (FUTEK): Due to several recalls and
stories covered in recent news articles, brake pedal testing has become
a focus point for the
automotive industry. The FUTEK Team has had years
of experience working with these types of applications and our
force
sensor products have been used widely in the field. In efforts to
provide automotive manufacturers with safe solutions, FUTEK offers their
LAU220 which has proven to be a successful aid in brake testing as
featured in “Car and Driver” last year. In 2009 FUTEK Engineers offered
the LAU220 model with USB output making integration of the part into a
system much simpler. FUTEK engineers are extremely proud of this product
as it contributes in providing safety and quality assurance to its users ... |

Kistler involved in winter testing:
expert support during test runs under extreme conditions |
| |
 Kistler:
In order to optimise processes inside an engine, it is extremely
important to have a true picture of the actual running conditions. In
addition to their work on the test stand, application engineers have to
be able to carry out test runs with the help of a mobile and compatible
combustion analysis system. Kistler has therefore launched the new
mobile combustion analysis system KiBox® To Go, which is specifically
designed for use in vehicles. This enables all important combustion
values to be accurately determined in real time. Many customers have
already taken advantage of the offer to borrow and test the KiBox® for a
few weeks. However, how the KiBox® and the associated measuring systems
could be used to the best advantage was demonstrated by Kistler experts
during the winter test at the beginning of March at the Arctic Falls
test ground, north of the polar circle. The extremely low temperatures
during the tests placed high demands on people and equipment. It is
difficult to correct wrongly laid cables at –30°C, and condensation is a
constant problem for measuring equipment. The Kistler on-site service
team enabled customers to quickly obtain and evaluate top-quality
combustion data during the tests. ... |

 For
six decades, test and measurement solutions from HBM have been
used in millions of applications to increase safety and efficiency - in
cars, airplanes, buildings or in product development and production. The
company has, again and again, set standards in test and measurement. All
signs are directed to innovation and growth in the anniversary year as
well. Like many other success stories, this one too started out small:
The German engineer Karl Hottinger founded his company for the
development and production of high-grade test and measurement equipment
with only ten employees in 1950. Today, HBM (Hottinger Baldwin
Messtechnik) is a global player in this industry - providing products
and services for the complete measuring chain, ranging from transducer
through electronic data acquisition systems and complex evaluation and

New CE-marked tranceiver for SAW sensors,
Wireless batteryless temperature measurement |
| |
 SENSeOR’s
new transceiver WRC001 is CE-marked and complies with Radio-Frequency,
Electro-Magnetic Compatibility and Security requirements of European
norms. It is thus available for measurements in open spaces as it
remotely interrogates SENSeOR’s wireless SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave)
sensors (e.g. thermowell packaged SAD100) using only the ISM frequency
band 433,05MHz – 434,79MHz. This compact and powerful transceiver
associated with SENSeOR’s wireless, batteryless sensors, which combine
accuracy and robustness, performs measurements of
temperature,
pressure and
stress. SAW technology benefits can be achieved for a wide range of
