Magnetostrictive linear position sensors are the dominant technology for hydraulic cylinder position feedback. They are preferred over alternatives due to their high accuracy, wide variety of electrical interfaces, signal stability across temperature variation, wear-free operation, and tolerance of shock and vibration.
Customized sensors, embedded vision and RFID systems are often requirements for Life Science devices to meet the needs for special detection functions, size constraints and environmental conditions.
The BOS 21M photoelectric sensor family with IO-Link offers you a variety of application possibilities, including those in harsh industrial environments. That is because their rugged metal housing delivers both IP67 and IP69K protection and Ecolab approval.
Unscheduled stops and faults in the production process can be avoided using our new multi-functional condition monitoring sensor. This intelligent sensor provides you with condition information which you can use for automating cost-intensive manual inspections.
HAMBURG, Germany—Engineers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Factory Operation and Automation are working with Airbus to learn how to detect and predict disruptions in aircraft production.
PCB Piezotronics, Inc., a subsidiary of MTS Systems Corporation, announced the completion of new environmentally-controlled clean rooms totaling 4,300 square feet at their Walden Avenue headquarters.
Engineers at the VTT Technical Research Centre here recently developed a process to print smart shafts. It combines metal additive manufacturing, sensor technology, wireless data transfer and condition monitoring in the same package.
In the nautical disaster movie, “The Perfect Storm,” three weather fronts converge off the coast of New England to create one of the fiercest storms in U.S. history. A similar convergence is occurring in the manufacturing world today. It’s called Industry 4.0 and it promises to transform the way that engineers design and build products over the next two decades.
