Digital pressure gauges
01 April, 2009 | AMS Instrumentation & Calibration Pty Ltd
The Noshok 1000 series digital pressure gauge features an integrated battery with up to 4000 h of battery life, eliminating the necessity of fixed power supplies.
Compact ultrasonic sensor
01 April, 2009 | Turck Australia Pty Ltd
Turck has introduced an ultrasonic sensor in a compact Q12 style housing that achieves a 40 cm sensing range with a small 2.5 cm blind zone. The small profile of the sensor allows it to be mounted in narrow spaces, like those found in packaging applications.
Colour and gloss sensor
01 April, 2009 | Applied Measurement Australia
The SI-Colo-GD-40 sensor from Sensor Instruments allows both simultaneous and outside-light-independent detection of colour and gloss value. The colour value x,y and the grey value INT are determined by way of the integrated RGB detector.
Pressure transducers
01 April, 2009 | AMS Instrumentation & Calibration Pty Ltd
Noshok’s 300 series compact-sized pressure transducer delivers long-term stability during operation and is suitable for use in general industrial applications where space is limited and durability is essential.
Trio differential pressure transmitter
01 April, 2009 | Motion Technologies Pty Ltd
The Trio MC464 can support up to 64 axes of motion in a unit the size of a small book. The MC464’s digital drive interface provides a plug-and-play connection between the motion controller and various digital drives. This significantly reduces wiring while providing a much higher axis count compared to what is available in comparable motion controllers.
APC Technology panel PCs
01 April, 2009 | APC Technology
APC Technology’s range of rugged industrial panel PCs and displays use the latest industrial-grade components, touch-screen technologies and sunlight readable displays to provide a rugged, reliable, customisable solution to suit specific requirements. Environments include production and assembly lines, hose down areas and food production.
Rotary encoders
01 April, 2009 | Schneider Electric
The Osisense rotary encoders are now open to fieldbus communication including a version fully compatible with CANopen and Profibus-DP networks.
PNOZsigma safety relays
01 April, 2009 | Pilz Australia Industrial Automation LP
The multifunctional PNOZsigma relay allows a smaller number of units to be used in applications that previously required the use of numerous different models of safety relay, meaning that stockholdings can be reduced substantially. The PNOZsigma relays also provide LEDs on the front that give much better diagnostic data than their predecessors, helping with troubleshooting and therefore reducing machine downtime.
Rotary vane actuators
01 April, 2009 | Pneumatic Products
The VRX rotary vane actuators from Tolomatic deliver up to 54.7 Nm of torque at 100 psi (6.9 bar) and can withstand high axial loads of up to 102 N. These pneumatically operated rotary vane actuators are designed for use in material handling, part feeding and clamping, pick-and-place operations, cutting and many other industrial automation applications requiring rotary motion.
PLC data access module
31 March, 2009 | Omron Electronics Pty Ltd
Omron Electronics has released the Data Access Module (DAM01) — a small user interface for its micro PLC range. Fitting neatly into a communication board slot, the DAM01 empowers the user with knowledge of the process the PLC is controlling.
Non-contact optical motion sensors with two orthogonal measuring axes
18 March, 2009 | Plant Control & Automation
Cologne INTACTON GmbH, a subsidiary of the FRABA group, has developed an optical sensor system which can replace contact-based measuring wheel systems in many areas.
Simple device integration of data, power and signal interfaces
18 March, 2009 | Harting (HK) Limited
The type series of the Han PushPull connector system (variant 14 according to IEC/PAS 61076-3-117) has been extended by a complete range of metal bulkhead hoods which are used for the transmission of optical and electrical signals.
ATEX approved in line junction boxes
18 March, 2009 | Sensor Measurement
Synatel has introduced a range of low cost ATEX approved in line junction boxes with five way connectors. Designated the Synatex range, the Synatex connectors are certified for 1D use making them suitable for use in continuous hazard (zone 20) applications.
Versatile rack mount keyboard monitor drawers
18 March, 2009 | Interworld Electronics and Computer Industries
Interworld Electronics has released the SMK Series 1U industrial LCD monitor keyboard drawers. The SMK Series combines a display, a keyboard with built-in pointing device and a KVM Switch in a compact unit that measures 1U in height.
Data acquisition system
15 March, 2009 | ETMC Technologies
Heim Systems has developed a flexible, compact distributed data acquisition system, DATaRec 4, that consists of interface modules that can be positioned up to 10 m from each other, or mechanically linked to make a compact acquisition unit.
