Pepperl+Fuchs announces portfolio expansion
The new F199 from Pepperl+Fuchs is optimized for high-accuracy inclination measurement. Like other inclination sensors, the F199 provides measurement feedback of the angle tilt of machines or machine elements relative to gravitational force. But where standard sensors reach their limits because of inaccuracy, the F199 is the ideal solution. The F199 precisely measures angles from 0 to 360° with […]
New ultrasonic sensor from Pepperl+Fuchs
Pepperl+Fuchs introduces the new UCC*-50GK series ultrasonic sensor. Only two sensor versions are required for covering a range of applications. Intended for distance measurement, the UCC*-50GK uses ultrasonic pulses to measure the distance to the target and reports information through one of three sensor outputs. Versatile configuration options make the sensor incredibly adaptable. The UCC*-50GK […]
Micro-Epsilon confocalDT IFS2407-0.1 sensor for maximum precision
The new Micro-Epsilon confocalDT IFS2407-0.1 sensor opens up new fields of application in precision, confocal displacement and thickness measurements. Resolutions up to 3 nm enable this compact sensor to perform measurements at the highest accuracies. The sensor copes with large tilt angles while offering a small light spot size of 3 µm, which enables high […]
Rugged sensors for small-scale process technology
Balluff is expanding their range of sensors for media-contacting temperature detection, in hydraulic power units for example. New is a temperature sensor with display, a temperature transmitter as well as a PT1000 sensor. The version without a display is especially compact and vibration-resistant, whereas the versions with the turnable and highly readable display offers high operating […]

High-speed GigE Vision cameras enable smooth transition from CCD to CMOS
Teledyne DALSA, a Teledyne Technologies company and global leader in machine vision technology, is pleased to announce its new Genie Nano 2.4M, M1950 and C1950 models, equipped with the industry’s new Sony CMOS sensors. These new Genie Nano models offer a robust and cost-efficient solution for organizations looking to upgrade existing vision inspection systems from […]
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 […]
