Air gap sensor
05 September, 2008 | Festo Pty Ltd
The Sopa air gap sensor is designed to be used in tooling applications to make sure that a part is seated properly in a jig before it is machined, welded or assembled. It is able to measure gaps of between 20 and 200 micron. The Sopa air gap sensor is precise enough to detect if a work piece is obstructed by a human hair.
Flat panel monitor
05 September, 2008 | Advantech Australia Pty Ltd
The FPM-5151G 15" (1024 x 768 resolution) LCD flat panel monitor is specifically designed for industrial applications. It features direct-VGA and DVI-D signal transmission, which allows any VGA control card to be used in a system.
Angular position sensor
05 September, 2008 | Automated Control Pty Ltd
ASM has introduced the POSIROT PRAS3, a magnetic angular position sensor in a compact 36 mm diameter housing. The active sensor element uses an internal, contact-free permanent magnet to determine the angular position. The measurement ranges are available in 15° increments: 0-15, 0-30, 0-45 up to 0-360°. The servo flange mounting ensures quick and easy installation for the PRAS3 series.
Shock absorbers
05 September, 2008 | SMC Australia | New Zealand
