 WIKA
has expanded its family of
electronic pressure switches with a new product for sanitary
applications. The new PSA-31 is fitted with hygienic process

for applications in filling and packaging machinery for the food
and pharmaceutical industries. The instrument is extremely
robust and the wetted parts are particularly easy to clean. The
hygienic design of the pressure switch conforms to the 3-A
standard 74-03. With its case that can be turned through 300
degrees, this electronic pressure switch can be easily adjusted
to any individual installation situation. The large, angled
display, which is also rotatable, is easy to read from any
position. For this concept, which is characteristic of the
entire family of electronic switches ... |

| Digital pressure gauge for
refrigeration performance monitoring |
| |
 The
exact vapor pressure curves of five different
refrigerants are stored in the dV-2 Cool
digital pressure gauges manufactured by
Keller AG.
This enables the prevailing cooling temperatures in
closed cooling circuits to be derived and displayed by
the integrated microprocessor. Two versions of the
digital pressure gauge with stainless steel measuring
cell are available: for absolute pressures within the
ranges of -1 bar to 40 bar and -1 bar to 80 bar. These
measure within the compensated pressure range of 0 °C to
50 °C with extreme accuracy and with a tolerance of ±
0.1 %FS. Because of the high resolution of 1 mbar and 2
mbar, the dV-2 Cool pressure gauges can also be used for
measuring leaks in a vacuum. The measurements are
clearly legible on the LCD display, which can be rotated
to the best viewing direction after installation.
Depending on the environment, a special rubber surround
is available for protection. ... |

| Easily integrated pressure
transmitters for OEMs with digital and ratiometric interfaces |
| |
 Keller
AG: Thanks to the Chip-in-Oil (CiO) technology
developed at Keller, the trend toward miniaturization is
now becoming a reality. In our Series 4 LC...9 LC
pressure transmitters, the special ASIC for signal
processing is fitted directly next to the
pressure sensor, in the same housing, under oil, and
with the exclusion of air. This yields a host of
advantages in terms of application: all the key pressure
measurement components are now protected against the
risks from humidity and condensation. The interior
wiring is implemented with short, lightweight bonding
wires, while sintered-in pressure-resistant glass
leadthroughs feed the transmitter signals out. Together
with the high-grade steel housing, they form a Faraday
cage around the measuring system, acting as feedthrough
capacitors. This makes the CiO technology absolutely RFI
resistant up to field strengths of 250 V/m and for
frequencies of up to 4 GHz. Series 4 LC...9 LC pressure
transmitters offer two output signals: a ratiometric
analog voltage output and a digital inter-integrated
circuit interface (I2C). The ratiometric signal
eliminates the need for an expensive voltage reference
in the support electronics to the A/D converter, with no
additional effort and expense for compensation and
calibration. For a voltage supply of 5,0 V, the output
signal is specified as 0,5 ... 4,5 V. The transmitters
provide constant protection against overvoltage and
polarity reversal on all lines up to ±33 VDC. ... |

Cognex DataMan Takes a Quantum Leap in Barcode Reading
Performance |
| |
 Cognex
Corporation announced its most advanced fixed-mount
industrial ID reader ever created—the DataMan® 300. The
DataMan 300 is designed to handle the most difficult ID
code-reading applications on even the highest speed lines. These
new readers dramatically increase barcode read rates and speed
with a new 1DMax+™ algorithm, which incorporates groundbreaking
new “Hotbars™” technology. For 2-D matrix and difficult-to-read
DPM (Direct Part Mark) codes, reading performance has also been
significantly improved from a major upgrade of 2DMax™ to the
2DMax+™ algorithm. With the DataMan 300, set up and deployment
is even easier than before, with modular, controllable lighting
options and a unique intelligent tuning system. “It just reads.
Period. The DataMan 300 can read any code we challenge it with,”
said Carl Gerst, Vice President and Business Unit Manager, ID
Products. “Besides unprecedented read rates, the DataMan 300
reader is our easiest to install and maintain, saving our
customers time and money—two things they need to allocate to
other areas of their operation in order to be successful.” ... |

Model 5i Advanced Force/Torque Indicator |
| |
 Cooper
Instruments & Systems: The 5i advanced digital force /
torque indicator is designed to work with a wide range of remote
force
sensors and
torque sensors. With exclusive Plug & Test™ technology, all
calibration and configuration data is saved within the sensor’s
smart connector, not the indicator, allowing for true
interchangeability. In addition, all sensors are fully
compatible with the more basic 3i force / torque indicator. The
5i shares its menu structure and most specifications with Series
5 digital force gauges. The sampling rate is a blazing fast
7,000 Hz, producing accurate results even for quick-action
tests. A large, backlit graphics LCD displays large, legible
characters, while the simple menu navigation allows for quick
access to the indicator’s many features and configurable
parameters. Data can be transferred to a PC or data collectors
via USB, RS-232, Mitutoyo (Digimatic), or analog outputs.
On-board data memory for up to 1,000 readings is included, as
are statistical calculations with output to a PC. Integrated set
points with indicators and outputs are ideal for pass-fail
testing and for triggering external devices such as an alarm,
relay, or test stand. An analog load bar is shown on the display
for graphical representation of applied force or torque. ... |

 Epson Toyocom Corporation, the
leader in crystal devices, announced the AH-6100LR 6-axis
sensor. This low-noise, low-power product comprises a 3-axis
QMEMS*1 quartz gyro-sensor and an extremely stable 3-axis
accelerometer within a single package. Epson Toyocom offers a
growing line of highly accurate, stable gyro-sensors, such as
the XV-3500CB, for use in a variety of applications, including
high-quality camera shake correction and compact high-precision
navigation systems. The AH-6100LR was developed by leveraging
these technologies for high-integrity motion tracing and motion
tracking applications. Hand, person, or object motion tracing
and tracking systems are being explored as core technologies for
next-generation applications in a variety of fields. These
systems require sensors with a wide dynamic range of control,
since a wide range of motion, from low speed to high speed,
needs to be detected. The AH-6100LR has a wide dynamic range of
81 to 83 dB (200 Hz output bandwidth), enabling high-precision
control via accurate tracing and helping improve the certainty
of motion recognition.... |
