ATC Semitec’s AT-11 series temperature sensor offers the best accuracy/cost/quality ratio available in the industry. Precise to ±0.3deg.K at 25deg.C and with a fast-response tip (only 6 x 5 x 15mm long), the AT-11 accurately controls the air or water temperature in your application up to 105deg.C.

Phidgets Inc. released the 1056 - PhidgetSpatial 3/3/3 which combines a Compass 3-Axis, a Gyroscope 3-Axis and an Accelerometer 3-Axis 5G.

Robust piezo actuators and sensitive electronics replace batteries.

In medical engineering it is often necessary to ensure there is an undisturbed flow with no air or gas pockets. This is achieved with the aid of ultrasonic technology in so-called bubble or air-bubble detectors (ABD).

A recent application of the Cores Electronic Tag4M sensor tag, available from Adept Scientific illustrates two new uses for this credit-card sized device which delivers its data directly to a targeted website through any commercially available access point or wireless router.

The Deeter Group; a market leading international company in the design, development and manufacture of electronic sensors and control systems, announces the launch of its ground breaking Wireless Sensor System for industrial measurement and control.

Gefran, the process control and industrial automation specialist has launched a new dedicated website for its IMPACT series high temperature fluid pressure transducers and transmitters.

ZEMIC load cells are characterised by high quality, versatility and competitive pricing. The Asian based manufacturer produces its own wide range and also supplies branded products for the European and American load cell market. As its exclusive UK distributor, and with over thirty years experience in weighing systems, Variohm EuroSensor provides complete technical and full service support across the comprehensive ZEMIC range; with stock delivery and professional consultancy available for standard load cells and customised designs alike.

With the FlexLevel Switch 4101 Baumer presents a new sensor which is based on frequency sweep technology. The device detects the level of liquids, viscous fluids and dry media. Due to the smooth, very small sensor head even adhesive media don’t stick whereby the adhesion error is very low. The level switch is suitable for overfill protection, low level detection, dry running protection and phase separation. It can be installed in any position and even at points difficult to access. The FlexLevel Switch 4101 can be easily configured on PC via the FlexProgrammer 9701.

ASV Ltd is a leading designer and constructor of unmanned marine vehicle systems for commercial and military applications, providing cost effective solutions for time consuming or dangerous maritime tasks such as hydrographic surveys, surface surveillance, gunnery training and mine-hunting. When optimising the design of its new ASV 6000 coastal class semi-submersible vehicle, ASV selected Novotechnik GL series hollow shaft potentiometric angle sensors from Variohm EuroSensor to provide rotary position feedback as an intrinsic part of in-house designed actuators used for the steering and ride stabilisation control system.
