UK-based sensor and instrumentation specialist Impress Sensors & Systems Ltd has become an official distributor of Ashdown Control products, the pressure instrumentation specialist based in Folkestone, Kent.

The incorporation of power doors on new automobiles has necessitated control systems to prevent personal injury and trapping. In order to design, tune and validate these systems, accurate force measurements need to be made at critical locations of the doors travel. Designing innovative and easy to use fixturing for SDI’s popular model 90328 window pinch sensor has allowed engineers and technicians to make these measurements accurately and repeatably.

A new FlexTop family was presented by Baumer’s product segment Process Instrumentation at the ACHEMA exhibition. The individually configurable temperature transmitters of the series 2202, 2203 and 2204 are suitable for the food and beverage industry, pharmaceutical and biological technologies, chemical and petrochemical industry as well as for heating, ventilation and air condition applications. The input can be configured for thermocouples, resistance sensors and voltage signals.

ATC Semitec is now stocking a range of motor protection PTCs to compliment their existing range of re-settable thermal cut-outs. The new SPMP PTCs are available with trip temperatures ranging from 60oC to 190oC and comply with the DIN 44081 industry standard.

Sensor Developments Inc. is pleased to announce a new development in its rotary torque sensor line with our new motor pulley torque sensor, model 01287. This sensor features a highly accurate integrated sensing element, capable of resolving low torque levels while being exposed to high radial loads created by belt drive systems. Use it to replace a standard pulley system for equipment like engines, generators, fluid pumps, or other motor driven equipment and continuously monitor real time torque while in operation. This custom sensor can be adapted to a wide range of belt drive systems and can be installed in a dynamometer test stand or on vehicle.

Analytical Technology Inc announces the introduction of its new Q22 Specialty pH/ORP sensors. Water companies and industrial users are under constant pressure to reduce maintenance costs and improve performance. Analytical Technology’s new sensors are supplied as standalone parts allowing for simple sensor replacement without the need for an entire system installation. In addition, the new sensors have been designed for use with all pH/ORP analysers and generic panel meters available on the market.

The new IR4000 Infrared Combustible Gas Detection System from General Monitors is a scalable plant safety solution with voting. The system's IR4000M Multi-Point Monitor can connect up to eight IR400 Point IR Gas Detectors and read their status with one command, one detector at a time. The IR4000M can also calibrate, gas check and zero each IR400 sensor with a single command, reducing the cycle time for routine maintenance.

The PyroCouple M series is a range of high quality, low cost, miniature infrared temperature sensors with separate electronics. They are capable of measuring temperatures in the range -20°C to 500°C and are available with either a current, voltage or simulated thermocouple output.

With the FlexLevel Switch 4401, Baumer’s product segment Process Instrumentation introduces a new hygienic level switch which is suitable even for high temperatures up to 180°C. It can be easily configured on PC via the FlexProgrammer 9701. A bright blue light on top of the switch shows when a media is detected. The indication can be seen easily even if the sensor is mounted on top of a tank.
