In a small area without critical accuracy requirements, the old school approach of a stretched string with a chalk line and a bubble level can provide adequate measurements. For larger, more critical situations, laser technology provides a substantial improvement. A laser level, such as the DeWalt DW074KD, a rotary laser level accurate to 1/4 inches […]
How can you sense tilt to control a robotic arm?
At Sensor Expo 2019, Devon Brock, Manager of Product Knowledge for the Sensor Group within TE Connectivity explains the DOG2 microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) -based inclinometer used to control a robotic arm. The two-axis tilt sensor provides ±90-degree measurements in the x and y axes. In the robotic arm, the inclinometer with its built-in electronic provides […]

Sensors and the future of food tech
Scientists and research engineers are developing technologies to boost food yield economically and efficiently in order to feed the world’s growing population. New ideas continue to emerge as the scientific community devotes time and energy in solving this problem. One futuristic approach involves creating an ideal environment for growing food in the air without soil, […]
Flowline non-contact reflective ultrasonic level sensors from AutomationDirect
Non-contact EchoPod and EchoTouch reflective ultrasonic liquid level sensors feature Flowline’s proprietary Reflective Technology that delivers reliable level measurement in condensing environments. Condensation is the most commonly encountered variable in liquid level applications and attenuates the acoustic signal of non-reflective ultrasonic sensors, weakening signal strength and reducing measurement reliability. These reflective level sensors replace ultrasonic […]
AutomationDirect adds ProSense vibration fork liquid level switches
ProSense VFL Series Vibration Fork Level Switches from AutomationDirect are designed using tuning fork technology for reliable liquid point level detection for monitoring, alarming, and control applications. The switch tuning forks vibrate at their natural frequency. When the forks contact a liquid, the fork vibration frequency changes and triggers the switch output. Suitable for use […]
How can time of flight technology be used?
At Sensors Expo 2019 in San Jose, CA, Clint Cowan from Laser Technology demonstrates and explains the company’s time of flight laser technology for detection in an intelligent gate and its TruSense S300 sensor for non-contact fluid-level sensing in clear water. With the intelligent gate, if a person is inside of 3 feet, the laser […]
Endress+Hauser releases Nivector FTI26 point level switch
Endress+Hauser announces the Nivector FTI26 point level switch for detection of all types of powdered and fine-grained solids such as plastic granules, detergent, grain, sugar, spices, milk powder, animal feed and other dry materials. The switch can be installed at the top of a tank to indicate high level, or at the bottom of a […]
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 […]
Miniature float-level sensor C4954-xxxxx from Madison Co.
Accurate measurement of liquid volumes at any point in a container is critical for many commercial and industrial processes. Reducing process variability results in less waste, higher quality and reduced cost, and can make a big difference in profitability for OEMs. Madison continuous float level sensors offer all the advantages of reed-switch-based technology, now available […]
