Customised Industrial Pressure
Transmitters |
| |
Keller
AG, the pressure measurement specialists, can meet spontaneous
requests from customers with expertise, thanks to its ultramodern
production, compensation and calibration processes. The Series 21 G is
the latest fruit of more than 30 years’ experience in pressure
measurement. The pressure port and all parts in contact with the media
are made of stainless steel, Keller use an ingenious heat treatment
process to ensure maximum stability. Series 21 G is an excellent example
of our OEM products. The structure is highly modular, and the production
concept is based on quantities of several thousand units. The user
defines the key features as appropriate to the specific measuring task:
pressure connection, measuring range, temperature compensation, output
signal format, etc. Even in the widest temperature range from -40 °C to
+135 °C, the typical error band remains within 2,0 %FS (Full Scale). ... |

thermoMETER from Micro-Epsilon |
| |
Measurement
technology company Micro-Epsilon is now extending its already
comprehensive range of infrared temperature sensors for displacement
measurement. The sensors of the Group’s partner for many years will now
be directly included in the Micro-Epsilon range under the thermoMETER
trade name. This new product group is targeted at industrial users. The
infrared sensors comprise eleven products for stationary use. Amongst
others, this includes products such as thermoMETER CT, which has
external electronics. This sensor operates in temperatures from -40°C up
to +975°C. This also includes the CT laser, which uses an integrated
laser optical system to mark actual spot sizes at every distance. The
CTglass version of this laser sensor is designed for use in glass
production. The miniature sensors in the thermoMETER CS and CS micro
series have integrated electronics located in the sensor head in the
case of theCS ... |

Cool Performer - the R-1 compact
pressure transmitter for refrigeration and HVAC applications |
| |
The
new WIKA R-1 pressure transmitter has been optimally designed for
the specific requirements of refrigeration and HVAC applications. The
R-1 has proven condensation resistance - the most important requirement
for refrigeration and HVAC applications - with excellent results in a
multitude of tests. As a result of the monolithic design of the body,
with its welded thin-film measuring cell, the need for a separate seal
between the sensor and the housing, in contact with the medium, is
eliminated. One advantage of this is that no elaborate material
compatibility tests are required; another is that there will be no
chance for leaks due to the seals. Therefore, high long-term sealing can
be guaranteed. A robust and compact design, plus resistance to the
most-widely used refrigerants are further requirements of this market’s
customers which are fully satisfied by the R-1. ... |

The COMPACTplus-XSS/R reliably detects
paper rolls and other closed rectangular contours |
| |
Leuze:
The new COMPACTplus-XSS/R Safety Light Curtains (XSS: eXtended Shape
Scanning) are used with roll printing processes. They guard the access
area when feeding in rectangular objects, such as paper rolls in the
print and paper industry, for example. Similar to Muting – the properly
intended and time-limited suppression of the safety function – the
Safety Light Curtain mounted at a tilt detects the paper roll where the
rolls are fed in on the basis of its closed rectangular shape, and
allows it to pass as an access-allowed object. A person entering the
COMPACTplus-XSS/R protective field is detected as an access-denied
object on the basis of their contour and their movements, and the
dangerous movement is stopped instantly. This solution reduces the
expenses for the user compared with previous Muting solutions, because
no separate Muting sensors and Muting indicators are required. A side
access guarding with additional testable Single Light Beam Safety
Devices is also easy to set up, as the COMPACTplus-XSS/R Receiver also
has an integrated type 2 test unit. Furthermore the COMPACTplus-XSS/R
Safety Light Curtain also has a 2-sensor Muting system, whereby a
switchover between the shape scanning and the 2-sensor Muting is
automatic. ... |

Data tracking in the production of CIS
modules |
| |
Cognex:
At solar cell manufacturers, Wurth Solar in Germany, current production
yield is at 90 per cent and rising. Würth Solar GmbH & Co. KG in
Schwäbisch Hall (Germany) has been producing solar modules using CIS
technology since October 2006. Manufacturing printed circuit boards
(PCBs) on glass substrates is a difficult job. These CIS coating
pioneers were world leaders in developing solar modules with dimensions
of 1200 mm x 600 mm at their Marbach pilot installation back in 2000.
Since the start of production in Germany, Würth Solar has collaborated
with AIT Göhner GmbH, a Stuttgart-based integration partner of Cognex,
to implement data tracking using In-Sight ID readers in order to boost
productivity and optimise product quality. ... |

Compact, Multifunctional Dew Point
Transmitter for Measurements down to -80°C Td |
| |
The
new dew point transmitter Series EE371 from E+E Elektronik
enables dew point temperature measurements in the range from -80 to
+60°C (-112….140°F). The auto-calibration feature and the specifically
for these applications designed dew point sensor element provide
outstanding accuracy and very good long-term stability. Wettability,
fast response time and high resistance against chemical pollutants are
the main features of this sensor element HMC01, developed by E+E
Elektronik in thin film technology. The sensing head is pressure tight
up 100 bar (1450 psi) and can be mounted either with a G½” ISO or a ½”
NPT thread. The rugged, compact metal housing of Series EE371 is
rotatable over the full 360 degrees, allowing positioning for excellent
readability of the optional dual-line display and easy accessibility of
the robust industrial electrical connector - even in difficult mounting ... |
