Proximity and Motion
New range of cost optimised linear position sensors has open housing and two-part designVariohm EuroSensor has launched a new range of potentiometric linear position sensors for precision measurement from 10 mm to 300 mm that are supplied in open housings - reducing component cost for high accuracy position feedback applications. The PTP series from Novotechnik is a robust two-part design including a multi-fingered wiper assembly and separate open sided extruded aluminium housing containing a conductive plastic track. 
Intrinsically Safe Position SensorsThe new, intrinsically safe Temposonics IS position sensors by MTS assure a safe working environment where ignitable mixtures of materials occur. Developed for the linear position or level measurement in hazardous areas they meet all the requirements of equipment group category II. Along with the corresponding certified safety barriers they can be used directly in hazardous areas of instrument category 1/2G and 2D and in order to that can even be mounted to zone 0.

High Speed, High Resolution Mercury 11 1600 Encoder Uses Cut To Length Tape Scales For Economical Motion Control SystemsInmoco's new Mercury II 1600 encoder from MicroE Systems provides a breakthrough in both cost and operational performance from digital encoders. Offering high speed (7.2m/s), high resolution (0.5μm) and small sensor size (8.7mm height), the digital Mercury II 1600 uses simple, cut to length tape scales to achieve high performance motion control systems at lower cost. 
New Scale announces improved 0.5 μm resolution, more package options for its miniature TRACKER position sensorsNew Scale Technologies today announced improved 0.5 μm resolution and additional packaging options for its miniature TRACKER position sensor. This robust non-contact sensor is ideal for applications such as optical imaging stabilization and zoom in digital cameras, phone cameras, binoculars and other optical devices. It is also suitable for a wide range of other applications including consumer electronics, precision biomedical devices, optical instrumentation, automation and automotive systems. 
Laser profile sensor measures size and shape of pipe girth weldsNon-contact, laser profile displacement sensors from Micro-Epsilon are being utilised on a new, groundbreaking internal weld inspection system. The sensor measures the internal size and shape of girth welds on pipes that are destined for use in subsea oil and gas applications. Position Sensor for SIL2 ApplicationsTemposonics absolute, non-contact M-Series position sensors are now approved for operation in safety-related applications. The sensors meet the requirements of Safety Integrity Level 2 (SIL2) to EN 61508 and therewith also the requirements of Performance Level d to EN 13849-1. This means the MTS position measurement systems are approved for safety functions on mobile and stationary machines. Measuring lengths from 50 mm to 2,500 mm are available. Expanded range of strain gauge displacement sensors now availableA range of strain gauge displacement transducers is now available, which offer expanded stroke lengths from as low as 0-5mm up to 0-100mm. The transducers are fully interchangeable with alternative strain gauge displacement transducer models currently on the market and offer long service life and excellent mechanical reliability. 
Electronic Stability Control tests with RT2500NHTSA's FMVSS126 test is being adopted as a worldwide standard for vehicle safety by the United Nations Working Party on Brakes and Running Gear group. In the United Nations' version of FMVSS126 the RT2500 Inertial and GPS Navigation system is listed as recommended equipment. 
Quick configuration of position sensor via USBThe new MTS USB-Programmer allows quick configuration and easy testing of embedded Temposonics® position sensors via PC. Remote configuration and diagnosis of sensors that are not easily accessible directly is now possible. Quick configuration reduces downtime and start-up is accelerated considerably. 
Robot driver for repeatable vehicle testingVehicle testing and benchmarking is often limited by the use of human test drivers. Some tests require high precision and repeatability over a series of tests which is often difficult to achieve even for experienced test drivers. In order to achieve more repeatable, reliable and precise test results, integrated robot drivers can be used. SEA Ltd. has designed and manufactured an Automated Test Driver (ATD) which incorporates their steering, braking and throttle robots. 
Jupiter magnetostrictive level transmitterThe fastest and most efficient way to upgrade a magnetic level indicator is to clamp a Jupiter 200 magnetostrictive level transmitter onto its by-pass cage. The installation can be performed under process conditions and without any modification of the installed equipment. 
Inertial+ for continuous position and reliable orientation measurementsReliable, continuous positioning is critical for most surveying applications. However, when faced with problematic GPS conditions, such as near buildings or trees, GPS signals are frequently blocked or reflected. 
New 3D software for laser profile sensor enables export to any CAD systemNew 3D visualisation software for laser profile sensors is now available, which enables users to export captured 3D data to other software. The data can be converted to a 3D bitmap image or exported as a 3D point cloud to any CAD/CAM software application. 
Surface roll and pitch on inclined test tracksMeasuring roll and pitch on an inclined or tilted test track can lead to irregularities in your test results. This can now be compensated by using an RT Inertial and GPS measurement system from OxTS. 
Slip Angle measurement with 250HzThe new RT2502-250 Inertial and GPS system is ideal for measuring slip angle, roll, pitch, position, heading and many more measurements in real-time with high accuracy. Dual Output Drawworks Encoder Saves Time and MoneyBEI's drawworks encoder is now available with a dual output option. This type of encoder is specifically designed to be use with winch-turns counter in the drawworks system of oil rigs. The dual output allows the encoder to supply simultaneous position feedback to two separate systems from a single encoder. These outputs can even have different resolutions through use of interpolation. 
Repeatable, precise testing of driver assistance systemsCombining the OxTS RT-Range system with ABD's Autonomous Robots solves the problem of repeatable driving for ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) testing.
