Automatic defect inspection of reflecting
surfaces |
| |
 The
reflectCONTROL range of surface inspection systems from Micro-Epsilon
has now been extended with new product variants. The RC-Robotic system
is intended for large objects such as complete automotive body shells.
Here, the optical part of the measurement system as a sensor is located
on the end effector of a robot arm. A measurement process covers an area
of approx. 70 x 30 cm; the robot moves the sensor to different positions
on the object to be inspected. The RC-Compact inspection system with
fixed sensor is available for smaller measuring objects and is ideal for
laboratory type inspection. The object to be inspected can be moved with
a measuring table that itself can move on three axes and can be tilted
for curved surfaces in order to inspect the complete object. The
measurement of such a part requires around 10 to 30 seconds and can be
automated for series production. This is achieved by generating a
typical measuring task in which the sensor moves to stored measurement
positions ... |

Technologies B.V. today announced that it has completed the acquisition
of substantially all of the assets of Utellus B.V., a privately held
technology company with deep knowledge of impulse-radio Ultra-Wide Band
(UWB) technology and applications. The terms of the transaction were not
disclosed. Utellus was founded in 2003 as a spin-off from Ericsson
EuroLabs in Enschede, The Netherlands. Utellus has successfully
demonstrated UWB technology for accurate position tracking at high
update rates for several applications. "Utellus has a unique level of
in-depth experience and knowledge of impulse-radio UWB based systems.
Specifically, their knowledge of UWB technology for high-accuracy
real-time tracking in exceptionally challenging environments is very
exciting for us here at Xsens." said Per Slycke founder and CTO of Xsens.

HBM miniature force transducer controls
assembly processes |
| |
 HBM’s
new PACEline force transducer family provides measurement ranges from
5-120kN for reliable integrated force measurement especially where space
is a constraint. Where using uncalibrated force washers has only been
possible so far, transducers of the PACEline family can now be used. The
flange mounted transducers eliminate the need for preloading and thus
for additional calibration of the system as a whole. Every transducer is
available with two calibrated measurement ranges - 20% and 100% of
nominal force. This eliminates the need to use many different transducer
types, because multiple measurement tasks can be implemented using a
single type of transducer. The size of piezo sensors from the PACEline
series is 3% of that of other sensor technologies. The sensors measure
at consistent accuracy over many decades. A balanced, industrial charge
amplifier is used for signal conditioning to +/-10V analog standard
signals. For industrial applications, the charge amplifier provides TEDS,
electrically isolated inputs, and electrical isolation of measurement
signal and supply voltage. ... |

 Gantner
Instruments: The automation of test procedures is a daily challenge
for planers and operators of component test stands. The new e.pac DL of
Gantner Instruments communicates with the measuring and I/O-modules and
read so measuring values, states and other process values, allocates,
combines, evaluates, transmits and gives analogue or digital signals
back to the process back to recording. New is also, that the new
programmable automation controller e.pac DL offers a memory for 32 Mio
measurements that can be extended via an external HDD via USB in an
almost infinitive way. Furthermore various possibilities of
communication, e. g. eMail, GPRS, VPN are available. The measured and
conditioned data with different rates and trigger functions will be
stored in the 128 kByte data memory in independent archives. The data
acquisition in the modules and the PAC happens synchronized with 1 kHz.
The open data structure offers totally integration into automation
systems, access to all parameters and variables (FTP-functionality) ... |

New tilt sensor from Penny + Giles offers
high performance in a compact, robust, low-power package |
| |
 Penny
+ Giles, the position sensor specialist, has launched a new ±60°
tilt measurement sensor. The compact STT280, which is priced
competitively, features low power consumption and a rugged, IP68 sealed
housing, making it ideal for construction industry, off-road vehicle and
access platform applications. Tilt sensors are increasingly used in
safety critical applications such as safe load indication systems on
cranes and platforms. The sensors provide vital data to ensure equipment
is operating within its nominal load envelope. The STT280 measures up to
±60°, with an output range from 0.5 to 4.5Vdc over the full inclination
angle. Based on proven solid-state technology, the new sensor has a low
power requirement of less than 6.5mA, so it can be used in hard-wired or
battery-powered systems, for maximum flexibility for OEMs. By using this
technology, the STT280 provides distinct advantages in reliability,
stability and compactness over fluid based, electrolytic and pendulum
operated sensors. ... |

Optical distance sensors with light spot
size selection from S to XL |
| |
 With
its ODS 96B, Leuze electronic is offering an optical distance sensor
designed for wide-ranging different fields of application. Exceptionally
fast measurement cycles make these distance sensors the fastest in their
class, permitting measurement applications in highly dynamic processes.
A new version has now been launched which permits the user to select any
optional light spot size between S and XL when using laser light
sources. ODS 96B optical laser distance sensors from Leuze electronic
work on the basis of the triangulation principle, using the very latest
CCD technology for evaluation. They are designed for continuous distance
measurements, position monitoring and for dynamic product gauging
applications of the kind required on conveyor lines. They cover a
measurement range of between 60 and 2000 millimetres. Performing
cyclical measurements within intervals of just milliseconds, they are
able to pick up dynamic processes up to five times faster than
comparable products. This means a more finely meshed measurement grid,
ensuring more precise and detailed information with more stable measured
values and greater process efficiency. Alongside high-speed measurement
processes, the ODS 96B also offers extreme accuracy, a resolution of 0.1
mm and repeat accuracy of 0.5%. One of the most striking features of
this optical distance sensor is its bright, easily legible OLED display

Chemicals-resistant mic+ ultrasonic
sensor |

 microsonic:
The allroundtalent mic+ with film-coated ultrasonic transducer. Thanks
to the dirt-repellent membrane and its stainless steel housing the crm+
sensor copes with maximum operational demands. Filling often entails
some spatter getting onto the sensor membrane. The risk here is that the
sensor membrane might get damaged. In such instances microsonic has now
fitted out the mic+ ultrasonic sensor with a protective foil making it
easy to remove caked-on soiling, such as hardened casting compound and
cement spatter. The protective film is also highly resistant to
corrosive media. The threaded sleeve is made of 1.4571 stainless steel. ... |

IO-Link sensors - innovation with true
value added! |
| |
 Baumer
Electric: IO-Link is the new standard in the lower communication
layer supported by leading automation and sensor manufacturers. An
IO-Link sensor transmits standard digital or analog output signals and
provides an additional serial data communication with the control unit
as master to exchange parameters such as the measuring range,
sensitivity, time delay and operating mode. Because the serial data
transmission needs no additional wires and the output signals are
compatible, it is possible to use standard cables and connectors and
combine or mix IO-Link devices and standard devices. This advantage
simplifies the entry, realization and use of this new and easy
technology. Baumer offers now an expanded range of IO-Link products.
From the smallest optical switches up to ultrasonic and inductive
distance sensors, a wide variety of technologies and devices is
available. ... |
