Device Provides Object and Collision Detection for Consumer and Industrial Applications

In some applications, installation space is so limited that there is no room for photoelectric sensors. So optical fibers are often used, despite their higher installation cost. Now Contrinex has developed a new photoelectric sensor which, due to its extremely small size, offers the ideal alternative. The sensor specialist has developed a 4 mm diameter […]

Always safe, always reliable: Extremely reliable stainless-steel sensors meet the highest safety and hygiene standards.

95% of all the industrially produced flat glass today is made using the float glass process. In this process, molten glass is continuously fed into a bath of molten tin. Due to its lower specific weight the molten glass floats on the smooth tin surface, and on a long tin bath forms a uniformly thick […]

Robust and Cost Efficient Tilt Monitoring POSITAL TILTIX inclinometers are now available with a new communication interface, Modbus RTU. Modbus RTU protocols, which are openly published and royalty-free, have emerged as a de-facto standard for simple, robust and cost-efficient data acquisition and control systems built around standard PLCs. Modbus RTU nodes can be connected together […]

Murata has announced a highly accurate soil sensor ( https://www.murata.com/en-eu/products/info/sensor/others/2019/0122?intcid5=com_xxx_xxx_hm_ms2_xxx) that contains three sensors in one package. Aimed at the agricultural and horticultural industries, the sensor enables growers to increase the yield and quality of crops while experiencing lower costs associated with reduced water and fertilizer usage, these being the most important application areas for […]

In automotive manufacturing, vehicles are leak-tested during the assembly process. These water ingress detection tests are usually performed by hand and involve a major effort. Schreiner ProTech has developed an alternative—the ((rfid))-DistaFerr WetDetect—that is easy to use and therefore reduces time and costs. In modern vehicles, every model change entails the installation of more electronics […]
