Turck PS300 series hydraulic pressure sensors
29 October, 2010 | Supplied by: Turck Australia Pty Ltd
The PS300 series pressure sensors for hydraulic applications feature a rugged, IP69K-rated design to withstand harsh environments. The sensors provide a wide measuring range, from 3 to 400 bar. Signals are directly processed on its pressure measuring cell, and then digitally transferred to the sensor’s fully potted, self-contained display. This design offers a high level of EMC resistance and switch point accuracy of 0.5% of full scale.

Leuze electronic HRTU 412 and HRTU 420 ultrasonic scanning scanners
20 September, 2010 | Supplied by: Balluff Pty Ltd
The HRTU 412 and HRTU 420 from Leuze electronic are retro-reflective ultrasonic scanners with extremely short response times. They have three different sound lobes with narrow, normal and wide opening angles. The narrow sound lobes in particular permit the detection of the smallest of objects or the detection through small apertures at short response times of 10 ms. The switching behaviour is largely independent of the surface of the sound-reflecting materials.
Leuze electronic KRT 3B series contrast scanners
20 September, 2010 | Supplied by: Balluff Pty Ltd
The KRT 3B series contrast scanners from Leuze electronic distinguish between greyscale values, enabling them to detect minimal contrast. As a result, a check can be performed for the presence of text or imprints or so-called marks detected. All three transmitter models - RGB light, white light and laser light - are available in a small construction. In addition to the standard design, the sensors are also available in stainless steel, in the Wash-Down and Hygiene designs.
