Sick Bulkscan laser scanner
13 December, 2012The Bulkscan can measure volume and mass flows without contact, and prevents wear by transmitting data on uneven belt loads and belt drift.
ifm efector O1D series optical distance sensor
06 December, 2012The O1D series optical distance sensor from ifm efector detects all distances, even in direct sunlight, irrespective of whether the target is fully exposed to the light or only the sensor, or both.
Sick ML20 markless label sensor
29 November, 2012Though used like a print mark sensor, the Sick ML20 sensor requires no optical marking on the package, instead detecting a taught-in design pattern.
Sensor technologies to detect pneumatic cylinder position
27 November, 2012 by Jack Moermond, Product Line Manager, Balluff, IncTo integrate a pneumatic cylinder into an automated system, it is necessary to supply signals to the controller indicating the position status of the cylinders. Pneumatic cylinder manufacturers, machine builders and end users have developed a number of ways to detect extension or retraction of a pneumatic cylinder and provide a signal to the control system.
