Key sensor advantages shown in India for first time

A regular exhibitor at the Automation India show, Sensor Technology, has gone with the theme of new and developing technologies on their stand at this year’s show in the Bombay Convention and Exhibition Centre. Sensor Technology will be showing extensions to its LoadSense range, an updates version of its ORT 230/240 range, at the show taking place, 22-25th August 2016.

The new ORT sensors redefined user expectations for optical rotary torque transducers when they were introduced earlier this year. These torque sensors are designed for duties requiring low torque and/or high bandwidth, and provide precise, dynamic measurement of rotary and static torque from 10mNm to 100Nm and for bandwidths of up to 50 kHz. Their signal processing electronics demonstrate improved resolution, frequency response and faster data handling, yet have reduced power consumption.

Complementing the ORT sensors, Sensor Technology is also introducing new strain gauge amplifiers, which are wireless so offer many benefits in terms of ease of installation, use and reconfiguration.

LoadSense is a strain gauge based stainless steel tension type sensor with the capability of wirelessly transmitting its data (via 2.4 GHz) to a display. Alternatively, it can record data to its inbuilt 32MB memory for subsequent downloading and use/analysis. New this year, the range has been extended up to 30 tonnes.

Now found throughout the worlds of manufacturing, automation, handling and test and measurement, LoadSense, was originally developed to measure the load on helicopter cargo hooks and transmit information to the pilots wirelessly (a hard wired solution would have required a hole to be drilled in the aircraft’s body, negating its certificate of airworthiness).

Sensor Technology’s Tony Ingham stated that Automation India’s focus on factory automation, test and measurement sensing and control, and advanced electrical technology fits perfectly with the product portfolio and market reach. “We have exhibited every year since its founding and it is helping us establish a sound and growing presence in India and the whole sub-continent.”
