Ultrasonic sensors provide continuous level measurement to 32 ft
Madison Company has launched the new U5098 series of ultrasonic sensors for depths up to 32 feet. The U5098 ultrasonic sensors provide non-contact continuous level measurement of challenging medias such as sticky, semi-solid, corrosive, and viscous fluids, slurries and even some solids. The U5098 line of sensors can be used indoors or outdoors, are low […]
Endress+Hauser launches Micropilot FWR30 radar level sensor
Endress+Hauser has launched the Micropilot FWR30, its first cloud-connected radar, to provide full transparency in the storage and transport of liquids. As the world’s first 80 GHz wireless IIoT sensor, it combines high-end technology and user-friendly digital services in one cost-effective device. The instrument’s continuously recorded measurement data can be accessed at any time, from […]
How does laser level sensing work?
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 […]

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 […]
