Innovative demos of optical sensor technologies Sensors Expo 2019
Supplier of high performance sensor solutions, ams, will showcase innovative optical sensing technologies which are transforming personal health monitoring, the mobile phone, automotive evolution, and smart agriculture at the Sensors Expo 2019 (25th to 27th June, San Jose, CA). The company will also lead two Sensors Expo conference sessions.
Radiation resistant sensors for applications with radiation exposure
NewTek has introduced a new line of Radiation Resistant LVDTs that provide critical position measurements in autoclaves, particle accelerators, nuclear power plants, submarines, spacecraft and other applications with radiation exposure. Constructed of radiation-tolerant and hardened materials, these AC-operated linear position sensors operate continuously in demanding radiation environments without failure or decay.
The face is the focus for Image-sensing unit
An easy to mount and compact Human Vision Component (HVC) from Omron Electronic Components is available at Premier Farnell. The HVC incorporates ten different image sensing functions and a choice of wide angle and long-distance options to match users range needs for applications from digital signage and vending machines to home appliances and security doors.
Hydrostatic level sensor released for up to 20m
EGE has extended its DGC line of hydrostatic level meters, adding a new sensor for measuring liquid media levels up to 20m. The sensor consists of a measuring head with integrated electronics and an IP68 probe attached to a cable. The cable is up to 20m long to ensure the probe can be lowered to the bottom of large tanks.
New sensing technologies demonstrated at Sensors Expo
At the Sensors Expo and Conference, ACEINNA plans to demonstrate its latest advanced sensing technologies. The event is going to be held June 25th to June 27th, 2019 at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California. Booth number 1635. The exhibition area is open Wednesday, June 26th and Thursday, June 27th, starting at 10am. ACEINNA is in Booth 1635.
The next level in liquid flow sensing is now available
The latest innovation in liquid flow sensing from Sensirion, the SLF3x is now available worldwide from Sensirion’s distribution network. Based on Sensirion’s 20-year track record in low and lowest flow rate sensing, the optimised mechanical design of the SLF3x takes an already well-established functionality to the next level in terms of price-performance ratio.
Scanning eye providing robot sight
Robots must be equipped with sensors and software for three-dimensional vision in order to gain a spatial understanding of and precisely control objects in their environment. A research team at the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems (IPMS) has been developing and manufacturing micro-scanner mirrors, ‘MEMS’ scanners, which provide robots an ability similar to human vision needed to perceive objects and perform demanding tas...
Slimline position sensor lowers production costs
The PST-360 from PIHER, now available from Rutronik UK, is a slimline, 12 mm height, package solution sensor mounted directly into the shaft, with no gears. Completely contactless, the position sensor provides excellent repeatability, accuracy, resolution, linearity and high stability even under harsh environmental conditions.
Two sensors in one measure ambient light, proximity
An ambient light and proximity sensor offering very high sensitivity even at millilux-level intensity is in stock at Mouser Electronics. The ams TSL2740 sensor is ideal for smart home assistants, smart watches and wearables, display backlight control, tablets, smartphones, and medical diagnostics applications.
Graphene linear array sensor to launch at Laser World of Photonics
Graphene Flagship partner, Emberion, is launching a new VIS-SWIR graphene photodetector at Laser World of Photonics on 24th to 27th June in Munich, Germany. Showcased in Hall A2 at stand 113/3, the linear array can enable on-site analysis of food and agriculture products using infrared detection - at a lower cost than existing indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) infrared sensors.
