NEW Humidity / Temperature Hand-Held
HUMIPORT 05 From E+E Elektronik |
| |
 |
A Reliable Companion: The new HUMIPORT 05 from E+E Elektronik
provides the mobile precise measurement of relative humidity and
temperature in the ranges of 5…95% RH and -20…50°C (-4…122°F).
Furthermore dew point, absolute humidity and mixing ratio can be shown
on the very well readable display. In spite of the compact dimensions of
a mobile phone the HUMIPORT 05 offers easy handling with the proven
thumb-wheel switch. |
|
|
That makes sure that the whole operation of the hand-held can be
performed with only one hand. The measured values can be displayed as
SI- or as US-units. Moreover the HUMIPORT 05 provides helpful features
like MIN / MAX and AVG indication as well as a HOLD-function. The
possibility of a 1-point humidity and temperature calibration ensures
precise measurements in the long run. Typical applications for the
HUMIPORT 05 are for example the mobile climate monitoring of buildings,
switching cabinets, museums and storehouses. ... |

Omron introduces detergent-resistant
photoelectric sensor in stainless steel housing |
| |
Hoofddorp, The Netherlands – Omron has expanded its popular E3Z
photoelectric sensor family with a new stainless steel series for the
food and pharmaceutical industries. The housings for the new series are
in detergent-resistant 316L high-quality stainless steel and feature
minimal indents and an easy-to-clean surface for optimum hygiene. Food
processing is an industry characterized by a focus on hygiene and
absolute cleanliness to avoid contamination of the food through
micro-organisms and bacteria. A major contribution to this is hygienic
machine design which focuses on reducing mechanical trouble spots such
as threads, indents and gaps to eliminate the build up of bacteria and
ensure an effective wash-down procedure with detergents and
high-pressure cleaning. The E3ZM photoelectric sensor series features
tested resistance against detergents from leading manufacturers commonly
used in the food industry. The hermetically-sealed housing also provides
resistance to high-pressure water meeting IP69K – the
industrial-protection standard that defines the toughest measures. “The
E3Z family is probably the most popular photoelectric sensor family in
the world today,” says Lucian Dold, Marketing Manager of Omron’s
European Sensor Business Unit in Nufringen, Germany. ... |

Omron introduces photoelectric sensors
supporting preventive machine maintenance strategies |
| |
Hoofddorp, The Netherlands – Omron has expanded its popular E3Z
photoelectric sensor family with a series offering preventive machine
maintenance functions. The new added functionality allows the indication
of dirty lenses, product jams and misaligned sensors during production
or maintenance cycles. With optimized material supply chains and
just-in-time production, machine downtime can result in high additional
cost and is a serious threat to material-handling and packaging
processes. Omron’s E3Z Preventive-Maintenance photoelectric sensor
series offers different levels of functionality for passive and active
preventive maintenance. The passive functions include alarm output
models that provide an advance warning to the user when continuous dirt
build up on the sensor lens or misalignment caused by vibration reach a
critical level. The active functions include a power reduction feature
that allows the detection of dirty lenses or misalignment at pre-defined
times. By reducing the output power e.g. during regular inspection
cycles, sensors showing critical behavior can be detected and ... |

VTI's Pressure Sensors for New FRWD
Sports Computer |
| |
VTI Technologies Oy supplies pressure sensors for the Finnish
FRWD Technologies Ltd's new B Series Sports Computer. The sensors enable
new functions in consumer products for sports and leisure. Thanks to the
high resolution of VTI's SCP1000 pressure sensor, FRWD's new B Series
Sports Computer can, besides altitude measurement, display an accurate
terrain height profile and shape, which provides both fitness
enthusiasts and athletes with more accurate information on their
performance and how to improve it. The small size of VTI's pressure
sensors enables manufacturers to launch smaller, more user-friendly
consumer products. VTI develops sensors with competitive features for
consumer and industrial applications that expand the traditional sphere
of sensor technology. In addition to medical applications, special
growth areas include consumer applications related to sports, leisure
and handheld terminals. Some examples are sports computers, GPS
navigation devices, sports watches and diving equipment. "We expect
rapid growth in the demand for both motion and pressure sensors in new
consumer applications. The high resolution of our pressure sensors ... |

Touring Cars and Formula 1 as Test Beds
for Production Vehicles |
| |
 |
Kistler's wheel force measuring systems revolve around high-tech
race car measurement tried and tested in the DTM Series and Formula 1.
The capabilities and reliability of the two different lightweight
systems in use come into their own where ultra high precision
measurement is required under extreme loads. |
|
|
Touring cars are based on the design of production vehicles, but have a
specially tuned racing chassis. The DTM therefore offers an extensive
test bed for the use for RoaDyn measuring wheels. On a circuit in
Portugal racing mechanics fit Kistler RoaDyn S625 measuring wheels for
fine tuning the vehicle. This particularly light measuring wheel with
carbon fiber structural components offers the major advantage of
internal signal transmission that avoids impairing race car
aerodynamics. The experience gained in extreme racing situations is also
exploited in the ongoing development of the RoaDyn family of measuring
wheels ... |

Low Power Accelerometer Family from VTI
Technologies Breaks Through Performance Barriers |
| |
 |
VTI Technologies Oy has introduced the SCA3000 family of real
3-axis accelerometers for OEM sensing applications for use in a broad
range of commercial consumer devices. The SCA3000 family sets new
standards in sensing technology based on three dimensional
microelectromechanical systems (3D-MEMS) developed by VTI Technologies.
MEMS technology allows the integration of tiny mechanical elements,
sensors and actuators through microfabrication technology. |
|
|
VTI’s 3D-MEMS expertise is built around devices that measure basic
parameters – pressure, acceleration, inclination – that can also be
translated into other parameters such as position, movement and
vibration. Between them they open up an enormous range of sensing
applications that cover automotive, industrial, consumer, medical and
sports industries. “The SCA3000 family is aimed at offering OEMs a rich
functionality through a combination of low power consumption, higher
performance and less software effort during integration into equipment,”
explains Pekka Kostiainen, product manager at VTI Technologies Oy. ... |

OPTIFLUX for corrosive industrial waste
water |
| |
 |
A waste disposal company in Basle, Switzerland uses a KROHNE
OPTIFLUX electromagnetic flowmeter for measuring the waste water
produced by a chemical company. The company produces a monthly report
detailing the amount of waste water to be sent for disposal. The waste
disposal company measures the quantities on-site in a switchgear cabinet
and then bills the chemical company at the end of the year for the waste
it takes away for disposal. |
|
|
One of the problems with chemical waste water is that it contains
corrosive substances and water-solvent mixes. The OPTIFLUX is ideal for
corrosive applications because it has a resistant PFA liner. Additional
features include a full range of diagnostic functions which will also
identify changeovers in the media being measured. The OPTIFLUX ‘s
integrated conductivity measurement automatically identifies known
mixes. This electromagnetic flowmeter has a measuring range from 0 to
500 liters per minute, a valuable feature given that the flows in this
application can vary widely. ... |
