The compact, intuitive, and flexible design of the FA1 Fiber Optic Amplifier is ideal for a wide variety of applications. An adjustable signal level, selectable response time, multiple […]
Fiber-Optic Sensor Amplifier Boasts Several Features
With one of nearly 500 E32-series sensing heads as its partner, Omron Automation and Safety’s E3X-HD fiber-optic sensor amplifier can address many space-confined sensing applications. The amplifier allows ultra-stable presence/absence and inspection. Its one-button smart tuning simplifies sensor threshold and light intensity adjustments. Other capabilities include the amplifier’s ability to automatically compensate for LED-aged deterioration, […]
Sensing Invisible Targets
Do you need to perform error checking, sorting, measuring and positioning materials that blend into a background or are invisible? If so, Pepperl+Fuchs has designed a solution for you. The DK50-UV Luminescence Sensors also can detect fluorescent chalk marks, clear glue, tamper-proof seals and other marks that regular contrast sensors cannot. A light spot with […]
Magnetoresistive Technology Sensors Feature High Sensitivity
With 11 Gauss max sensitivity, Honeywell’s Standard Power Series Sensor ICs allow larger air gaps between the sensor IC and the magnet or decreasing the total design cost by using smaller, less expensive magnets. The magnetoresistive (MR) sensors have a solid-state, non-contact, no-glass design that makes them durable and reliable and operate over a temperature […]
Universal Input Reference Design Provides Accuracy and Flexibility for Industrial Sensors
Industrial automation engineers can now achieve highly accurate measurements for their system designs with the MAXREFDES67# analog front end (AFE) universal input Micro PLC reference design from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM). As high-resolution systems move to higher bit counts, they become more sensitive to noise, making such systems difficult to build and maintain […]
