Opkon manufactures and globally markets industrial position/angle measurement sensors, position, temperature, weight, measuring and controlling equipment.
OsiSense ultrasonic sensor
01 November, 2008The OsiSense ultrasonic sensor uses a piezoelectric transducer that acts as both transmitter and receiver and can detect any object without contact, regardless of the material, nature, colour or degree of transparency.
Metal face inductive sensors
01 November, 2008The metal face sensor product line from ifm efector is designed and tested to provide reliable position indication in the toughest welding and stamping applications.
Laser-line profile sensor
01 November, 2008The scanControl 2700/ 2710 laser line profile sensor from Micro-Epsilon can acquire profiles of the most varied target surfaces. Consisting of a compact sensor with integrated electronics, it is suitable for an industrial environment, especially in automation systems because of its relative small size. Typical tasks include measurement of profiles, angles, gaps and clearance.
Digital signal conditioner
01 November, 2008The SA40082 is a 3-channel digital signal conditioner from Spectron Systems Technology. Originally designed as an integral tri-axis electronic inclinometer, this versatile signal conditioning module can be used in various other applications.
Proximity sensors
01 November, 2008Infra International manufactures a range of inductive proximity sensors designed to fit a wide range of industrial sensing applications. All Infra proximity sensors are designed, built and quality tested in house at its factory in Italy. The sensors are available in 4, 5, 6.5, 8, 12, 18 and 30 mm diameter sizes and sensing distances from 0.8 to 20 mm.
Stainless steel inductive sensors
01 November, 2008The 316 stainless steel, metal face sensor line is designed and tested to provide reliable position indication in harsh food and beverage applications.
NIR transmission sensors
20 October, 2008NDC's NW710 near infrared sensor is designed to provide basis weight and moisture measurement of Spunbond fabrics in a single, non-nuclear sensor.
Weld nut sensors
05 October, 2008Turck has introduced magnetic-inductive sensors for efficient and economic detection of weld nuts. These sensors use signal attenuation to reliably detect ferromagnetic components such as nuts, bushings and spacer sleeves and ensure these necessary components are present before robotic welding occurs — with no additional software or electronics required.
Laser distance sensor
05 October, 2008The Acuity AR700 laser distance gauge is a triangulation sensor that measures distance using a laser beam, a camera and a microprocessor. A variety of models are available, with measuring ranges varying from 3.175 to 1270 mm.
Networkforce/torque sensor system
05 October, 2008ATI Industrial Automation has released a networkforce/torque (Net F/T) sensor system. The Net F/T system measures six components of force and torque (Fx, Fy, Fz, Tx, Ty, Tz) and provides an ethernet /IP and CANbus communication interface and is compatible with standard ethernet. The Net F/T system is available with all of ATI’s force/torque transducer models.
Banner Engineering photoelectric sensors
05 October, 2008Banner Engineering’s World-Beam QS18 universal voltage sensors feature AC or DC voltage operation. The 3-wire photoelectric sensors deliver solid-state output for reliable presence/absence detection in a wide variety of applications, including package and material handling.
Plastic detecting sensors
05 October, 2008Turck has introduced the BCC capacitive sensor series, specifically designed to provide accurate level detection in the plastics industry. The BCC series features good EMC and ESD immunity, allowing the sensors to reliably detect the level of plastic pellets in a hopper while withstanding environmental interference.
Inclinometer
05 September, 2008ASM has introduced the PTAS2 inclinometer series with ranges from ±15 to ±180° in a robust, IP68-rated stainless steel housing. This sensor has been tested to withstand harsh conditions, which makes it suitable for a wide range of applications such as factory automation machines and robotics, mobile cranes, draw bridges, adjustable platforms and off-highway construction equipment.
Applied Measurement linear position sensor
05 September, 2008The LCIT series is based on a patented linear position sensor design that features all of the benefits of current LVDT (linear variable differential transformer) inductive technology, but at a significantly lower cost.
