Robust space saving flat-pack photoelectric sensor
Balluff’s new family of flat pack compact photoelectric sensors provide a powerful solution for demanding environments and industries with space restrictions. The sensors, which include a stainless-steel housing, are resistant to aggressive cleaning agents, chemicals, coolants or other media and meet the requirements for packaging, food & beverage industries. “The new flat pack photoelectric family […]
Smart photoelectric sensor from Balluff is easily configured via IO-Link
Generating, transporting and processing information are central tasks in the Industry 4.0 environment. The basis for all this information is intelligent sensors which provide the required input. With its new BOS 21M ADCAP, Balluff has created a smart photoelectric sensor. The versatile all-rounder uses red light and lets you choose from among four sensor modes: background […]
Rugged FPD-link cameras for automotive and industrial vision systems
D3 Engineering has introduced a new line of rugged camera modules for automotive and industrial vision. The new DesignCore D3RCM Rugged Camera Modules integrate OmniVision or SONY image sensors with Texas Instruments’ FPD-Link III SerDes for full digital performance and superior resolution. The miniature cameras in sealed enclosures are designed to meet IP69K standards. D3 […]
What’s new in IMUs?
At Sensors Expo 2018, Faheem Faheem, the Director of R&D for Visionix Engineering for Thales Visionix, discusses NavChip 2, a next-generation inertial measurement unit (IMU) with high sensitivity and high performance. Architected around proprietary technologies and advanced signal processing techniques, the IMU contains a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope for 6-axis motion sensing. […]
What’s new in robotic sensing?
At 2018 Sensors Expo in San Jose, CA, Jacob Hicks, an Applications Development Manager from Omron Electronic Components, discusses including sensors in the Omron LD autonomous robot. The robot is linked to sensor technologies from Omron including cross-referenced Raspberry Pi based cameras to provide locations and status information, similar to what might be required in […]
How do surgeons navigate inside a patient’s body? Part 2 of 2
Part 1 looked at various uses of X-ray technology as well as ultrasound imaging. Cameras are an essential part of many medical diagnostics as well. The lining of the esophagus, stomach, and first part of the small intestine are examined using Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). In this procedure, the scope (a video camera with light) is inserted through […]
How do surgeons navigate inside a patient’s body? Part 1 of 2
Until the invention of X-ray technology, doctors had no way of determining what was happening inside a patient without the use of surgical tools. X-ray still is one of the first steps toward identifying many body ailments. However, determining if a blockage, restriction, stone, hemorrhage, cancer or other abnormality is present also involves many other […]
Optical sensors for longer operating distances
With the R200 and R201 designs, the product design of photoelectric sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs enables applications with longer operating distances. Just like the compact R100, R101, and R103 series, both new products consistently offer all photoelectric functional principles in a design that is now larger and suitable for specific mounting situations. Usability is intuitive and […]
What do you get when you combine 3D scanning and computed tomography (CT)?
If you are in the field of analyzing ancient Egyptian mummies, something really cool and informative. In the Sherit mummy project, researchers benefited from adding the results from a 3D scanner to a CT scan. Sherit is a mummified Egyptian child who died 2,000 years ago. Even though the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose, […]
