Banner Engineering R58B Series registration mark sensor
05 July, 2011 byThe R58B Series registration mark sensor from Banner Engineering provides the same performance detection and colour contrast sensitivity of the R58E, but with the addition of a simplified teach process. Teach is performed quickly via a single-click on the teach push-button on the sensor or via remote input. The teach button allows the sensor to ‘learn’ the light and dark sensing conditions, based on user inputs, and then can automatically adjust the sensitivity to place the operating threshold midway between threshold for the light and dark condition.
Kistler Type 4503A torque sensor
08 June, 2011 byThe Kistler Type 4503A torque sensor features a second measuring range and is suitable for applications with a high peak torque but moderate operating torque. The dual range sensor offers the advantage of range switching, which allows highly accurate measurement of both the peak and particularly the operating torque.
Banner World-Beam Q20FF fixed-field background suppression sensor

Balluff SuperShorty inductive sensors
30 May, 2011 byWith space at a premium, machine builders are always looking for ways to fit more components in smaller areas both on the machine and in the control panel. The SuperShorty inductive sensor from Balluff will fit into a space as short as 6 mm, allowing it to fit in the tightest of spaces.
Telco PA 15 photoelectric amplifier
23 May, 2011 byThe PA 15 photoelectric amplifier from Telco is a hybrid of the company’s PA 11 series and the more recent PAB 10 series.
Hydac HLT 1000 magnetostrictive linear position sensor
17 May, 2011 byThe HLT 1000 is a magnetostrictive linear position sensor used to determine the position, distance or speed of hydraulic cylinders. It is offered in a pressure-resistant stainless steel housing for full integration in hydraulic cylinders.
Hydac HLS 528 distance sensor
17 May, 2011 byThe HLS 528 distance sensor is a contact-free, highly compact sensor for measuring the distance to liquids and objects in pressure-free applications. As a result of its functional principle, it operates with a high resolution and measurement rate. HLS 528 is available for measurement ranges of up to 6000 mm and is available in three signal output versions: two switching outputs; one analog output (either 4-20 mA or 0-10 V), plus one or two switching outputs.
Hydac EDS 4400 programmable electronic pressure switch
11 May, 2011 byThe EDS 4400 programmable electronic pressure switch with pressure-resistant encapsulation has triple approval according to ATEX (KEMA 10ATEX0100 X), CSA (MC 224264) and IECEx (KEM 10.0053X).
National Instruments 9792 WSN gateway and WSN-3226 measurement node
26 April, 2011National Instruments has announced two additions to the communication and measurement capabilities of the NI wireless sensor network (WSN) platform. The 9792 is a programmable WSN gateway that can communicate with NI WSN measurement nodes as well as other hardware through a variety of open communication standards, and the WSN-3226 voltage/resistance temperature detector (RTD) combination node provides support for resistance-based measurements such as RTDs and potentiometers and provides engineers and scientists the ability to combine voltage and temperature measurements on a single NI WSN device.
Turck LI-Q17 inductive miniature linear displacement sensor
23 April, 2011Designed for very short measuring ranges between 50 and 200 mm, the LI-Q17 miniature linear displacement sensor doesn’t work with a magnetic locator but with the resonant circuit measuring principle, where an object’s position is detected via an inductive oscillating system, consisting of a condenser and a coil. The sensor is designed to work reliably where the functionality of a magnetic position device is affected by electromagnetic fields caused by large motors or welding plants.
Turck rotary inductive sensors
13 April, 2011 byTurck has introduced a line of rotary inductive analog sensors that provide 360° angular measurement. The rotary inductive sensors use resistance inductive capacitance (RLC) measuring technology, rather than a traditional magnetic positioning element, so as to deliver better immunity to EMC interference.
