Measurement Specialties has introduced the new miniature Model 52M30 accelerometer for auto safety applications. It offers significant cost savings, ease of use and measurement reliability for test professionals.

The 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.

With the EF6, Baumer’s product segment Process Instrumentation has developed an EMC-safe pressure transmitter suitable especially for transport applications. It is already applied in the brake system of several high speed trains.

Automated welding fixtures operate under the toughest possible conditions being subject to frequent and hard physical knocks, metal spray from welding processes and severe and frequent heat cycling. In addition, the intense levels of RFI created will cause the majority of inductive sensors to malfunction and, in some cases, change output status. In industries like automotive manufacture large numbers of welding cells and fixtures are expected to achieve high levels of reliability to meet production targets and sensors can be a weak link in the quest for uninterrupted production.

Gems Sensors & Controls announces the launch of the 3300 series pressure transducer. Based on the highly successful 3100 series, the 3300 series is characterized by its low pressure ranges, compact size, absolute or gauge reference and low cost. The new transducers have been designed for use by OEMs in a variety of applications across a number of different industries. Applications include pneumatics, autoclaves, chemical sterilizers, liquid storage and distribution, compressors and anywhere with low pressure requirements.

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

ABLE is pleased to announce that the popular TX200 pressure transmitter for use in hazardous areas is now available with sixteen additional process / pressure connection options and three new low-pressure* ranges. These expanded product specifications will allow the TX200 pressure transmitter greater flexibility in meeting application requirements.

Reliable, 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.

Firstsight Vision can now offer the new Marlin F-131B NIR FireWire camera from Allied Vision Technologies (AVT). The AVT Marlin F-131B NIR is an extremely compact monochrome FireWire camera equipped with a highly sensitive 2/3 CMOS sensor with Global Shutter, giving SXGA resolution and high-quality images in 8-bit format. This sensor offers almost twice the sensitivity in the far red and near infrared wavelength ranges compared to the standard sensor.

Now it is simple and cost-effective to retro-fit 4-20mA temperature transmitters to existing Pt100 or thermocouple sensors without removing them from the process or having to replace them with alternative assemblies.
