Longtime Vishay Intertechnology franchise distributor New Yorker Electronics has introduced a new series of Vishay infrared (IR) sensor modules designed for light curtain and perimeter guard applications.

The Bosch BMI090L high-performance longevity inertial measurement unit (IMU) combines a 16-bit triaxial gyroscope and 16-bit triaxial accelerometer in a 3. 0 mm x 4.5 mm x 0.95 mm package.

Designed to replace mechanical turbine flow sensors, the PLF2000 series of liquid flow sensors from Posifa Technologies deliver increased accuracy and reliability, even in unstable pulsatile flow and low-flow conditions.

The Sentrius BT510 sensor from Laird Connectivity is in stock at distributor Mouser Electronics. The compact, battery-powered, multi-sensor platform provides reliable Bluetooth 5 long-range connectivity, making it an ideal solution for Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

A coreless open loop current sensor for accurate and stable measurements in industrial applications is now being sampled by distributor Rutronik UK.

Vishay Intertechnology has broadened its optoelectronics portfolio with RGBC-IR sensors for applications such as automatic white balancing and colour cast correction in digital cameras; automatic LCD backlight adjustment; and active monitoring of LED colour output for IoT and smart lighting.

The IWR1843 industrial radar sensor from Texas Instruments (TI) is in stock at Mouser Electronics. Based on TI's proprietary low-power 45-nm RFCMOS process, these ultra-wideband millimetre wave (mmWave) sensors enable exceptional levels of integration. They are supplied in extremely small form factor packages, which make them highly suitable for deployment in space-constrained environments.

An eBook that provides a comprehensive overview of products, strategies, and innovations in the industrial sensors market has been published by Mouser Electronics and STMicroelectronics. In Industrial Sensing Solutions, experts from ST and Mouser offer detailed insights into the newest strategies using industrial sensors, as well as the products empowering innovation on the factory floor.

The Optoelectronics Group of Vishay Intertechnology has introduced two fully integrated proximity sensors designed to increase efficiency and performance in consumer and industrial applications. They feature an IR emitter and a vertical cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL).

OMRON has launched the new E3AS Series reflective-type photoelectric sensors with the smallest body and longest sensing distance of 1,500mm in their class. The sensors provide stable detection without being influenced by sensing distances or different colours, materials, and surfaces of objects. This makes selection, adjustment, and maintenance of sensors easier, and improves system commissioning and operation rates.
