Heat meter – Temperature sensor with MID
approval - Complete delivery program available |
| |
 With
the product line “temperature sensor technology”, JUMO is the
leading manufacturer and supplier of temperature sensors for heat meters
in Europe. The heat meter, like other measurement devices, is used for
the billing of goods or services (here heating costs) and thus is
subject to the legally binding metrology. In order to be able to be used
in commercial operations, the measurement device previously had to have
a model authorisation. In the required authorisation test, at first the
construction of the device was tested for compliance with the legal
requirements and for the measurement stability. After the measurement
device had been produced, the correct measurement was tested in a state
run testing authority which is independent from the manufacturer. The
measurement device did not receive the calibration stamp until then. ... |

Optical strain gages are unbeatable for
sustained load tests |
| |
 HBM’s
optical strain gages (SG) now have an improved fatigue life; 10 million
load cycles at an alternating strain of ±3.000µm/m can be attained. This
makes the sensors unbeatable compared with available alternatives when
sustained loading is tested, for example, on fiber-reinforced plastics
at high alternating strain. Optical strain gages are particularly
suitable for measurement in potentially explosive areas and on
high-current and high-voltage components. The relative wavelength
variation resulting from a mechanical strain is linear over a strain
range of more than ±10.000 µm/m. Based on fiber Bragg gratings, several
sensors can be arranged inside a single glass fiber to significantly
reduce installation costs. Optical strain gages are still being tested
to VDI/VDE 2635 – the standard for electrical strain gages, because
optical strain gages have not yet been standardized. ... |

High volume production inspection - 100%
successful with In-Sight |
| |
 Cognex:
InterControl manufacture thermostats, thermal links, temperature
limiters as well as a wide range of complementary products for
controlling and monitoring temperature in household appliances as well
as in the heating and ventilation sectors. In order to maintain their
competitive edge and to improve quality, the production site based in
Nuremberg decided at the end of last year to look at the possibility of
quality inspection using vision systems in greater detail. Challenging:
A particular temperature controller for the domestic-appliance industry
manufactured in Nuremburg needed to undergo a 100% quality inspection.
The controller consists of a ceramic base with bimetal mechanism and
different connection and fastening options. Manufactured in a
fully-automated process, all faults in each controller must be reliably
detected. This was to be done by ensuring that there are no components
with cracks in the ceramic base. ... |

Latest thermocouple amplifier gives
automatic transducer identification |
| |
 HBM:
The MX1609 module simplifies taking temperature measurements to reduce
test procedure times and give cost savings of over 30%. Because
temperature is the most common parameter measured, the MX1609 is fitted
with 16 electrically-isolated thermocouple inputs with automatic
transducer identification. The compact module is designed as part of the
QuantumX family with complete transducer data digitally stored in the
connector for instant viewing using appropriate software. The MX1609
module provides synchronous, parallel measurement with integrated cold
junction compensation and supports the widely-used type-K thermocouples
(NiCr-Ni). Several QuantumX modules can be easily connected together in
a measurement system using FireWire. Alternatively the integrated
Ethernet interface provides convenient connection to a PC – even over
long distances – when used as a stand-alone module. ... |

Crevice-free compact pressure transmitter
for industrial and automotive applications |
| |
 With
the Series 22 S and 22 M, Keller AG für Druckmesstechnik,
Winterthur (Switzerland), has introduced a wide range of pressure
transmitters that are totally crevice-free after assembly. The brazing
technique that the company has developed has made the use of internal
O-ring seals obsolete for many applications. The parts that come into
contact with the media are made from stainless steel (AISI 316L) in the
Series 22 S transmitters. In the Series 22 M the steel piezoresistive
pressure measuring cell is brazed to the brass pressure connection using
a nickel diaphragm. Brazing in tunnel furnaces has considerable cost
advantages in comparison to the usual electron beam welding at measuring
ranges up to 250 bar. The Series 22 pressure transmitters are available
in finely graduated pressure ranges from 5 bar to 250 bar sealed gauge.
Absolute transmitters with a vacuum reference ... |

Laser sensors for reflecting surface |
| |
 Special
sensors for optical distance measurement of direct reflecting materials
are now available from Micro-Epsilon. Designated as the optoNCDT
1700DR, this new series expands the manufacturer’s already extensive
sensor family. Three sensors with the measuring ranges of 2mm, 10mm and
20mm are designed specifically for use with polished metals, glass or
chrome-plated products. The high measuring rate of 2.5kHz and the
maximum resolution of 0.1µm make precise measurement of the desired
targets possible. The reflected laser beam is guided into the receiving
array by tilting the sensor and is then directly converted into an
electrical signal by the integrated controller. The design is identical
to the successful optoNCDT 1700 standard series. As well as the
integrated controller, the series also incorporates a foil keypad
directly on the sensor, whereby adjustments without configuration
software are possible. The comprehensive ILD Tool 1700 software, which
also makes a measured value display possible, is included as standard
for more simplified operation of the sensor at a computer. A different
tilt angle is ... |

SOLID-4E Safety Light Curtains are now
also available as linked versions |
| |
 Leuze:
SOLID-4E Safety Light Curtains can be used both vertical as hand
protection, finger protection or access guarding, or horizontal for
danger zone guarding. Cascaded devices allow these applications to be
easily combined with one another. Both fixed connections in L-shape and
U-shape versions and variants with flexible cable connections can be
used here. The costs for mounting and cabling are considerably reduced
with the cascaded devices when multi-sided guardings have to be set up
or point of operation guardings have to be combined with danger zone
guardings as rear area protection. SOLID-4E Safety Light Curtains are
type 4 devices in accordance with IEC/EN 61496. They provide reliable
protection, and with their sturdy and fail-safe construction, they also
ensure the highest possible system availability. Protected by a
warp-resistant profile housing closed on four sides and with their
straightforward M12 connection system, SOLID-4E Safety Light Curtains
are a match for even the toughest industrial conditions ... |
