Eltra single-turn angular position transducer
06 July, 2011 | Supplied by: Automated Motion Systems Pty Ltd
The Eltra single-turn angular position transducer provides an analog output proportional to shaft position. The sensing device is an 8- or 12-bit absolute magnetic encoder, and integrated electronics converts the reading into an analog signal of 0-5 V, 0-10 V, 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA.
Banner Engineering R58B Series registration mark sensor
05 July, 2011 | Supplied by: Micromax Pty Ltd
The 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.
