Gems Sensors & Controls has announced the launch of a new miniature, low cost Electro Optic Level Sensor, the ELS-950. The compact size, durability, high temperature capability and low cost makes the ELS-950 ideally suited for monitoring coolants, lubricants, hydraulic fluids and overflow reservoirs in industries as diverse as off highway vehicles, medical, oil and gas, water, HVAC, marine, transport and food & beverage.

Firstsight Vision can now offer the new Stingray series of cameras from Allied Vision Technologies (AVT). Stingray combines the outstanding functionality of the Pike family with the sensors and compact size of the Marlin series to offer excellent value for money. The six Stingray versions feature progressive scan colour or monochrome CCD sensors, each available with resolutions from VGA to 2 megapixels. Advanced thermal management for the sensors reduces dark current noise and improves image quality.

New 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.

Contrinex has introduced a new range of M18, low cost, high precision diffuse laser sensors designed to solve the problem of detecting small components or features during manufacturing processes.

Endevco has announced publication of its new 2008 Product Catalog and Measurement Resource™. The volume is a comprehensive guide to advanced sensor technology and selection as well as the Endevco product line and support services. It includes valuable references materials such as frequently requested technical papers.

Measuring 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.

Omron Electronic Components Business – Europe is now offering to customise its D6F MEMS mass flow sensor products to suit individual customer requirements in terms of flow rate and non-corrosive gas type. The new customised sensor service is being presented at Sensor and Test in Nuremberg in May 2008. Omron can provide mass flow sensors suitable to measure any flow rate from 1 mm/s to 40 m/s or 1 LPM to 50 LPM of most non-corrosive gasses.

Wilcoxon Research’s new vibration sensor catalog has a handy sensor selection guide to help choose the right accelerometer or 4-20 mA sensor for the application. Also included are technical notes and brochures, all from the industry leader in vibration sensor quality, reliability and expertise.

A unique, non-contact infrared temperature sensor has been launched, which is ideal for measuring the temperature of glass products and surfaces during production, as well as glass substrates used in semiconductor processing and for the manufacture of solar cell panels.

The 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.
