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 […]
High-temp sensors battle heat of welding, stamping applications
The latest line of extended-temperature proximity sensors from Balluff doubles the maximum temperature rating of standard sensors. This makes them ideal to battle the heat found in many industrial automation environments including robotic weld cells, where localized temperatures increase due to radiant heat from frequent weld flashes and conducted heat from molten welded materials. Where […]

New angle sensors with easy mounting
Novotechnik, U.S. introduces the Vert-X 2900 Series of sensors that measure angular position. These sensors are available in single or redundant versions. Elongated holes make mounting easier. Users can specify configurations including start- and end-angles for less than 360° maximum range, index point, cw or ccw indication and non-linear curves. Measurement range is up to […]
Finalists announced for Switches & Sensors category in LEAP Awards
Three finalists have been announced for the inaugural Leadership in Engineering Achievement Program (LEAP) Awards’ Switches & Sensors Category. These finalists have created and incredible mix of new technology advances. The task of judging this highly competitive category went to a panel of independent technical/engineering-oriented judges. Responsible for the Switches & Sensors category were these […]
Pepperl+Fuchs introduces light section sensors
Complex vision systems are often used for high-precision identification and analysis of object shape and position. These kinds of automation tasks can include quality control for finished components, positioning parts correctly on an assembly line, and aligning pieces before they are gripped by a robot. The vision systems used are notoriously difficult to set up […]
Replacing linear potentiometers with a contactless solution
Harold G. Schaevitz Industries LLC (HGSI) has expanded its sensor product offering by adding a line of ILPS-19 Series Inductive Linear Position Sensors using LVIT Technology; contactless devices designed for factory automation and a variety of industrial or commercial applications such as motor sport vehicles, automotive testing, solar cell positioners, wind turbine prop pitch and […]
