Latest weighing device provides the
maximum of 10,000 divisions |
| |
 The
AED9401A and AED9501A weighing electronics from HBM enable
digitization without any loss of information up to the physical noise
limit enabling certification as Class III weighing machines with the
maximum permissible number of 10,000 divisions. The performance of the
two devices has been confirmed by independent tests issued by an
independent notified body. Both devices allow strain gage (SG)
transducers to be digitally connected to standard fieldbus systems using
either CANopen or DeviceNet interfaces. The electronics can be fully
PC-controlled and provide integrated, electrically isolated control
inputs and outputs ensuring that they can be used for both static and
dynamic measurements. ... |

PCB Piezotronics Releases New
Three-Component Dynamic Force Sensors Brochure |
| |
 PCB
Piezotronics (PCB) has announced the release of a new capabilities
brochure, entitled, “Three-component Dynamic Force Sensors.” The
brochure highlights specific sensors and instrumentation for force
limited vibration testing; measuring input forces for modal analysis and
structural testing; assessing biomechanical ability; monitoring cutting
tool forces; studying machine and engine mounts for imbalance or noise;
and recording impact forces during drop and crash testing. The sensors
and systems highlighted in the new brochure represent some of the most
popular units. Three-component dynamic force sensors are offered in both
ICP and charge output configurations for dynamic and quasi-static force
measurement applications. Each uses an array of precision aligned,
quartz sensing crystals. Measurements along the z-axis are proportional
to applied compression, tension, and impact forces. ... |

Inexpensive, Non Contact Thermometer
Sensor offers Narrow Field Of View |
| |
 Ieper,
Belgium - To expand on its automotive proven family of intelligent
infrared, non contact thermometers, Melexis introduces the
MLX90614xAC with narrow Field Of View (FOV). Currently shipping versions
of the MLX90614 non contact temperature sensor have a wide Field Of View
of 90 degrees and target air conditioning and room heater applications.
The MLX90614xAC now being introduced has a Field Of View of only 35
degrees. Design engineers can now measure smaller objects or increase
the sensor-object distance with this thermometer. The 35 degree FOV was
chosen as the minimal Field Of View achievable without the use of costly
infrared optics, while still achieving the excellent accuracy
specifications of the original MLX90614. In detail: The 35 degree Field
Of View of the MLX90614xAC is obtained by adding a viewing angle
limiting metal tube to the standard TO-39 housing of the MLX90614. By
performing the calibration of the thermometer after this tube has been
attached, the accuracy of the temperature measurements can be
maintained. Luc Buydens, Marketing Manager of infrared sensor products
at Melexis, comments ... |

New Book: Precision Spindle Measurement
Techniques Using Noncontact Sensors |
| |
 Lion
Precision: Spindle error motions are a primary source of quality
degradation and product failures in machine tools, disk drive spindles
and other processes requiring a precision rotating axis. Using
noncontact sensors to measure the spindle error motions enables
engineers and operators to determine the capabilities of the spindle
before making parts or installing the spindle in a larger system. The
difficult task of measuring spindles to the nanometer or picometer level
has now been fully described in a new book by Professor Eric Marsh of
The Pennsylvania State University. Precision Spindle Metrology details
important concepts, mechanical setup, high-resolution sensor options and
detailed data analysis techniques. The book ends with chapters on
specific case studies and meaningful applications of spindle measurement
results. ... |

Sensors strip off their packaging with
VTI Chip-on-MEMS |
| |
 VTI
Technologies has developed manufacturing concepts that offer better
ways of combining MEMS and ASIC technology to create smaller, smarter
and dramatically lower cost sensing devices suitable for large volume
production. The work being carried out by VTI, a leader in MEMS sensing
applications could open up a raft of new sensing applications for a wide
range of handheld devices. One of the challenges in sensing technology
is to combine the very different requirements of microelectromechanical
systems with that of conventional electronic circuitry at the wafer
level. In the first phase of its development work, VTI has been able to
demonstrate one approach that uses currently available manufacturing
techniques, to make smaller, lower cost devices. In the second phase,
VTI is looking at new manufacturing technologies which will allow more
complex sensing devices to be made using wafer-level integrations with
the benefits of lower cost volume ... |

M² magnetic foil sensor |
| |
|
Metallux AG: Where weight is critical and space is limited - M²
magnetic foil sensor. Combining foil technology and magnetic circuit
design the newly designed M² magnetic foil sensor is cost effective for
automotive applications and precise enough for industrial applications
in the range of 5-1000mm for absolute linear position sensing or with a
rotation angle of 0-360°. M² contact free sensor operates on the basis
of a magnetic field generated by a permanent magnet integrated into a
hermetically sealed foil system. Foil technology – proved in automotive
and industrial applications - provides robust, low cost solutions for
absolute linear and angle position sensing. The idea of combining foil
with a magnetic field in order to have a contact free foil technology
that produces an analogue output signal results in M² magnetic foil
sensor. The technical advantage of M²: The foils are hermetically sealed
by a proven technology. M² sensor is suitable for applications where
high velocities in the movement is demanded, because the response time
of the foil with respect to the magnetic field is optimised. An advanced
magnetic circuit makes low hysteresis possible. ... |

Foil Sensor MetaPot Series 2007 – new,
optimized type series |
| |
|
Metallux AG has extended the MetaPot foil sensor family towards a
new optimized and customized type series –series 2007. Nowadays
different foil sizes and systems can be combined to advanced measurement
systems, resulting in customized applications of different relative
strengths. Based on foil technology Metallux developed new electric
features, never achieved before. Generating of a “basic sensor” a
complex component with many integrated functions. Galvanic separated and
redundand systems in only one sensor, customized characteristic outputs
additional switching contacts respectively centre detection on the
sensor are e. G. possible. Application of printed resistors.
Linearization on printed circuit board ist possible up to 0,25%. MetaPot
foil sensor consists exclusively of UL-listed material. On request an
amplifier can assembled on the connector flex . For electric contacts
twistsafe and lockable plugs are in the delivery programme. Furthermore
the already small hight is now reduced to < 0,6mm. Changing Metallux
standard IP 65 to IP 66 is possible regarding the sealing of the
electrical conncetion. This makes this sensor ideal for critical, humid
and warm environment. ... |
