Contrinex has introduced a new range of safety light curtains that sets new standards in terms of reliability and value for money. Known as Safetinex, the modular design allows fully tested systems to be delivered on a very short time scale.

For the use in seawater or with aggressive media, Baumer’s product segment Process Instrumentation offers pressure transmitters with Parylene coating protecting against corrosion and increasing the life cycle of the measuring devices. Especially in applications of over- and underwater shipbuilding, the sensors have to be resistant against seawater.

A company that designs and build custom test equipment for the manufacturing and research industries has developed a cost saving sub-system that allows eight dynamometer test rigs to share a single calibration unit based on a Digital TorqSense transducer from Sensor Technology Ltd.

Calex is pleased to announce yet another first in the field of infra-red thermometry, the new PyroEpsilon series non-contact temperature sensors.

Contrinex has developed a range of rugged inductive sensors that has been specifically designed for dealing with the hazardous environments found in the food industry. Although the food handling process itself does not always present an aggressive environment, the cleaning and wash-down routines required to meet hygiene standards usually involve caustic chemicals that can cause severe damage to control sensors.

With the level sensor UFAR, Baumer’s product segment Process Instrumentation offers a measuring device that precisely and safely detects the level of granulates, pastes and liquids independent of their colour or consistency. It is based on an integrated ultrasonic sensor in a polished stainless steel housing 1.4435 with a G1/2” mounting thread. Additionally, the sensor’s sonic transducer is protected by an extremely media-resistant parylene coating.

BEI Industrial Encoders is pleased to announce the launch of bei-industrial-products.com, a new e-commerce web site dedicated to industrial sensor accessories and support products. These products will help users install, maintain and retrofit a variety of industrial sensor applications and are all available for easy online purchase.

The SPEEDBOX2 is the successor to Race Technology’s highly regarded SPEEDBOX which is already used by many automotive OEMs and vehicle testing organisations worldwide. The SPEEDBOX2 is a high accuracy, low latency GPS and inertial transducer suitable for interfacing with a wide range of data acquisition and logging systems. Primarily, the SPEEDBOX2 is used to measure speed and distance travelled, however other outputs include position, gradient, heading and acceleration. Modular add-ons are also available to allow measurement of vehicle roll, pitch and yaw angles and rotation rates.

When a power-cut hits a company, they need to be sure that their UPS system performs immediately and for as long as possible until mains power is re-established.

These high performance, non-contact sensors utilize infrared telemetry to measure rotational torque in dynamometer systems. This particular sensor incorporates a custom transmission system that allows for up to 4 temperature inputs in addition to the rotating torque measurement. Ideal for measuring multiple heat sources creating from friction sources such as bearing and braking systems.
