Sensors

A new range of high precision pressure sensors has been launched, which not only offers extremely high operating temperatures of up to 300°C, but also provides a unique, easy-to-clean ‘globe’ shaped LCD display housing, that is ideal for hygienic applications, such as food and beverage processing, chemicals and pharmaceuticals manufacturing.

Endevco Corporation has announced introduction of the industry’s first miniature, 100 mV/g, high-temperature IEPE accelerometer, the model 67-100, designed for structural and component testing and monitoring in environments up to 175°C.

The MTi-G is a MEMS IMU with integrated GPS. It contains an internal ultra low-power Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) processor and a real-time Kalman filter.

Inertial Aerosystems announce the availability of a new range of low cost, dual axis digital tilt sensors. Designated the DAS-XX-MA-232 range it comprises 9 models all of which are microprocessor based and use solid state, micromachined technology to produce temperature compensated angular values over the range of +/-10º, +/-15˚ +/-30˚ full scale with resolution as good as +/-.01º.

Contrinex has developed a unique multiple beam, diffuse, fibre optic sensor to solve the problem of capturing, counting and controlling small components produced by modern, high performance manufacturing machinery.

A novel, high performance, non-contact temperature sensor system has been launched, which not only boasts a temperature range from –40°C up to 975°C, but also offers unique 75:1 infrared optics with a patented, double-aiming laser crosshairs system, for applications where small spot size is critical. The 75:1 optics with selectable focus at distances from 70mm to 1,260mm is generating unbeatable small spots at low temperatures, of 0.9mm at 70mm. Where users need to detect or scan for hot spots in fast-moving objects in production environments, the CT Laser F (Fast) is available with a 9ms exposure time.

The Poseidon 3268 is a simple Ethernet based stand-alone device which can send an email alarm when up to 4 monitored temperature or humidity sensors exceeds their defined range. The Poseidon 3266 also has 4 contact-closure inputs which can be used to trigger alarms on state change and there are 2 relay outputs which can be used to reset servers, or switch on a fan, etc.
