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.

The new, revamped internet presence of SCHMIDT-KUPPLUNG offers extended and even more comprehensive information about the individual lines of couplings.

Specialist electrochemical sensor manufacturer Analytical Technology Inc. announces that the company is hosting a number of water training workshops in Ireland. The free-of-charge sessions, which are aimed at councils and contractors in Ireland, will include advice on clean water processes including static mixing and chlorine dosing points, as well as training on the full range of Analytical Technology instrumentation.

Libelium, a technology leader in distributed wireless networks, announces a new Bluetooth module for its Waspmote wireless sensor network (WSN) platform. This module enables wireless sensor networks to be directly linked to portable devices such as smart phones, PDAs and laptop computers. This capability is particularly useful for medical applications and for industrial diagnostics. Additionally, when combined with the Meshlium multi-protocol router, it supports the deployment of hybrid ZigBee- and Bluetooth-based wireless sensor networks.

Meggitt Sensing Systems announces the 50th anniversary of the Maryland-based manufacturer of Meggitt’s Wilcoxon Research range of piezoelectric accelerometers and vibration sensors.

Inertial Aerosystems have launched a new, miniature, low cost, Quartz Dual Axis Rate Sensor (QDARS) manufactured by U.S. based Systron Donner. Designated QRS28, it is designed to measure angular movement in two orthogonal axies. Ideal for military and demanding commercial uses where stabilization of moving or vibrating platforms is an issue, it has simple DC to DC operation using two of Systron Donner's MEMS gyrochip rate sensors
