PCB Piezotronics Inc. of MTS Systems Corp. now sells two industrial case-isolated cryogenic ICP accelerometers — Models 637A06 and 638A06 — for use in low-temperature applications such as cryogenic centrifugal and reciprocating pumps. They are suitable for liquefied natural gas (LNG) processing; industrial gas processing (argon, helium, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen); pharmaceutical production (statin drugs, […]
Banner Engineering Q5X mid-range distance sensor detects targets to 2 m
Banner Engineering now sells Q5X sensors — high-power mid-range laser distance sensors for reliable detection of challenging targets. The Q5X sensor solves difficult distance-based applications, even at acute angles, at a range from 9.5 centimeters to 2 meters. The high-power laser sensor reliably detects difficult targets, including extremely dark objects, black targets against a black […]
New Phantom S210 and S200 streaming cameras from Vision Research
Vision Research, a leading manufacturer of digital high-speed Phantom imaging systems, has introduced the Phantom S210 and S200, 2Gpx/sec (16 Gbps) machine vision cameras. The S210 reaches 1,730 frames per second (fps) at full 1.3Mpx resolution, while the S200 achieves 7,000 fps at full 0.3Mpx VGA resolution. Both cameras provide the frame rates and throughput […]
Precision 3D surface inspection for shiny and diffuse items (as well as quality scanning)
Micro-Epsilon offers myriad solutions for 3D surface inspection. The reflectCONTROL and surfaceCONTROL systems are intended for fast and reliable inspection of mat and shiny surfaces based on deflectometry and fringe projection … so even the smallest of defects can be recognized reliably. The scanCONTROL laser profile scanners operate almost independent of surface properties and generate […]
Video: Measuring dynamic tilt with an inertial measurement unit (IMU)
ACEINNA has published a new video on YouTube titled How to measure dynamic tilt and orientation with an IMU: Why would one want to know the dynamic tilt angle on a vehicle? Consider a classic example of a plane in the clouds. The pilot can’t see the ground, nor can he or she trust […]
Micro-Epsilon eddyNCDT 3060 eddy-current sensor systems
In contrast with conventional inductive sensors, displacement sensors that use eddy currents deliver high accuracy, bandwidth, and temperature stability. Plus the measuring principle allows measurements on ferro or non-ferromagnetic objects. Eddy-current sensors also resist harsh industrial environments subject to dirt, oil, pressure, and fluctuating temperatures. Now Micro-Epsilon eddyNCDT 3060 eddy current sensor systems deliver high-precision displacement […]
