Schneider Electric XUV Fork Ultrasonic Sensor
Palatine, Ill. — Schneider Electric announces its new XUV Fork Ultrasonic Sensor. Built for efficiency and equipment cost reduction, the ultrasonic sensor uses thru-beam technology to detect labels of any material, size, color or translucency. The thru-beam technology allows Schneider Electric’s ultrasonic sensor to send sound through an object and determine the thickness by how […]
How Sensors Read
Optical Character Recognition and Verification (OCR/OCV) tools enable vision sensors to read, verify, and inspect alphanumeric text in a variety of applications. From human-readable text to bar code data matching and serial code verification on labels and packaging, vision sensors with OCR/OCV tools deliver the capabilities necessary for machine “literacy.” OCR/OCV tools add reading capabilities […]
Flat Pack Noise Immune Sensor
Minneapolis, Minn. — TURCK introduces a new noise immune and easy to apply capacitive sensor for level applications. The BCF10 sensor’s small size makes it more flexible for mounting in level applications, and it has the ability to detect liquids with high concentrations of chlorides, such as soaps and cleaners. The BCF10 is a DC […]
Level Measurements
With level detection sensors, there are few parameter restrictions. Basically, if you can imagine it—it is being sensed; from food and beverage products to rocks and gravel, hot wax and glue. Nearly all manufactured products require some type of level detection in the production cycle—whether it involves the end product or is part of a […]
