T&M and Monitoring

Adept Scientific provides spectroscopy software to Protea as part of its innovative emissions monitoring and analysis process. Discovering unexpected compounds in the stack emissions of a process plant requires a degree of detective work, supported by the best in infra-red spectrometers and the most powerful spectroscopic software.

FIRSTSIGHT VISION is offering a range of ‘Image Station Compact’ PCs equipped with everything needed for a complete PC-based machine vision system in an ultra-compact housing. The small dimensions and modular design of these systems make them ideal for use in machine vision applications in confined spaces and ensure easy integration of the latest state-of-the-art PC components. All models are assembled and tested at FIRSTSIGHT VISION’s parent company STEMMER IMAGING in Germany to customer specifications, and they can be supplied complete with STEMMER IMAGING’s Common Vision Blox imaging toolkit.

More and more people are switching on to infrared for inspection and it’s easy to see why. A thermal imaging camera allows problems to be seen that are invisible to the naked eye resulting in quicker and more efficient fault finding. Global market leader, FLIR Systems, has been a major contributor to this take-up by developing affordable infrared products that have the right balance of functionality and cost. And now with the introduction of its new FLIR i50 the entry level choice has never been more comprehensive.

The Viscolite® VL700-T15 portable viscometer from Hydramotion Ltd is specially designed for on-the-spot viscosity measurement in small sample volumes, down to just 10 ml (0.34 oz). Like the larger VL700-S model, the T15 is a reliable, field-rugged instrument ready for use straight out of the box.

Scientific plc is pleased to announce the introduction of two new digital I/O boards for the PCI Express Bus by Measurement Computing.

Available from Audon Electronics is the RedLab-TC, a new, low-cost USB based thermocouple data acquisition unit. The RedLab-TC provides eight temperature inputs, 8 bits of digital I/O, 500 V of isolation, and built-in ambient temperature sensing, for only £239. Supplied with free chart recording software, and drivers for most DAQ packages and programming languages.

The latest Operator Driven Reliability solutions from SKF are delivering significant benefits in the hydrocarbon processing industry. By taking a proactive approach to maintenance, using sophisticated yet simple and safe to use technology, operators are able to minimise environmental risk and improve the efficiency of maintenance procedures, reducing costs considerably as a result.

The newly developed mechanical tool monitoring system BK MIKRO 9 is not only suitable for broken tool detection, but also for checking whether a tool has been inserted correctly.

Sensor Technology, the company that developed practical non-contact torque measurement, will once again unveil a major innovation at the M-Tec Exhibition.

IRSTSIGHT VISION has extended its portfolio of high sensitivity dual linescan cameras with the addition of a 4096 pixel resolution version of the popular DALSA Spyder camera. The Camera Link configuration of the 4K Spyder 3 CL allows easy integration into existing systems and it can be used for industrial metrology, print, food, web and material inspection and container inspection applications.
