New Universal Glow Plug Sensor Simplifies
Indicator Measurements |
| |
Type
6056A... pressure sensor for use deep inside glow plug adapters.
Kistler is now offering the Type 6056A... pressure sensor for use in
glow plug adapters. This new highly precise M5 size sensor with its
tried-and-tested measuring element has a miniaturized plug connection to
permit installation deep inside the glow plug adapter. Thanks to this
innovation, many different glow plug adapters can be fitted with a
single type of standard-length pressure sensor. This simplification
facilitates the preparation of indicator measurements, reduces the need
to keep stocks of sensors in various lengths and shortens delivery
times. The use of glow plug adapters permits cylinder pressure
measurements to be taken without need for a separate measuring bore. The
adapter is screwed into the existing bore of the original glow plug.
Thus, glow plug adapters use the existing bore, allow a sensor to be
mounted simply without need for an additional indicator bore and permit
pressure measurements to be taken ... |

Capacitive Non Contact Gap Meaurement |
| |

The dual sided non-contact series of Industrial Sensor wands from
Capacitec allow measurement of gaps from 0.05” (1.27mm) to 0.25”
(6.35mm) with special models up to 1.0” (25.4mm). The dual sensor
approach consists of two Capacitec 4000 Series amplifier cards plus one
sensor on each side of the wand that allows the wand to wander up and
down in a 0.100” (2.54mm) gap while maintaining accuracies to ±0.0003 in
(0.0076mm). Applications include extruder dies, roller gaps, plastic and
glass manufacturing and other industrial processes where gap measurement
is important. ... |

New HART current loop indicator |
| |
WIKA:
A key characteristic of the new DIH50 series digital indicators is that
they constantly monitor the current signal and, if the measuring range
of an attached HART transmitter is altered, they rescale automatically
to the new measuring range and its unit. It is, however, also possible
to select alternative display units from the standard ‘on-board’
pressure and temperature units. The display range is then scaled
automatically by the appropriate, stored conversion factor. The DIH50
digital indicator is designed as an intrinsically safe loop display for
4... 20 mA current loops, and therefore needs no separate auxiliary
power supply. The indicators are available both as basic units, for
installation in the housings of WIKA thermometers with 'flameproof
enclosure', and also with aluminium field housings and wall-mounted
plastic enclosures. Due to their various approvals the devices can be
used, not only in intrinsically safe measurement loops, but also in
equipment with 'flameproof enclosure' explosion protection. . ... |

EHEDG certification for WIKA SA-11
pressure transmitter |
| |
WIKA:
Just in time for the Hanover Fair, the SA-11 pressure transmitter was
certified in accordance with EHEDG by the Technical University of
Munich/ Weihenstephan. With this, the range of applications for the
SA-11 pressure transmitter in hygienic applications has been
significantly widened. Sterile connections such as Varivent, Neumo
BioConnect, Neumo Connect S or DIN 11864 connections ensure safe and
reliable installation. In addition, the design of the SA-11 is optimised
for high temperatures, such as those in SIP processes. Its IP 68 ingress
protection provides further security for the installation. The multitude
of possible combinations for the electrical connections, an accuracy of
up to 0.25% of span, 4-20 mA, 2-wire signal output and an optional
CANopen serial interface complete the product offering. Through its
compliance with hygienic directives the SA-11 is ideally suited for a
wide range of aseptic applications in the food and beverage,
pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. ... |

Capacitec offers breakthrough 250ºC
Gap Sensor Wands for Slot Die Coaters |
| |

Capacitec
introduces two breakthrough improvements to their Slot Die Coater Gap
Sensor System used by leading global manufacturers of labels, tapes and
films. The system achieves coater gap uniformity better than 0.25
microns across the full length of the coater die. The new thinner non-contact sensor wands will allow coaters to access
die slots down to 100 microns at temperatures up to 250ºC . The dual
sensor wand also compensates for an off-centered wand position in the
gap. The capacitive gap measurement solution includes sensor wands,
special wand holders, and signal conditioning electronics and
software ... |

High Precision Gap Measurement in
Coaters/Extruders |
| |

For the past
15 years Capacitec has been working closely with leading global
manufacturers of labels, tapes and films to develop a system to
precisely measure slot die coater gaps. The new system has made
dramatic improvements over traditional gap measurement methods such as
feeler gauges by achieving coater gap uniformity better than 10
microinches (0.25 microns).
This results in uniform product thickness of both media and coatings
across widths of several metres. It offers extremely high resolutions of
1 microinch/2.5 microns and accuracy of 8 microinches/20 microns for
very thin gaps (down to 0.009”/0.23 mm). The new non-contact capacitive
gap measurement solution includes sensor wands, special wand holders,
signal conditioning electronics and mating Bargrafx™ software. ... |
