Of course, many different types of distance measuring sensors exist but not all sensors are the same. Each sensor has its own advantages and disadvantages. At its most basic level, a distance ...

Temperature measurement has long been vital to most industrial and manufacturing operations. It has taken on new importance in the era of smart buildings and homes, where automation of such functions ...

Researchers have developed an extremely sensitive miniaturized optical fiber sensor that could one day be used to measure small pressure changes in the body. Researchers have developed an extremely ...

Until about 10 years ago, the force test and measurement industry had been fairly unimaginative. It had developed a standard way of building analog load cells, torque transducers and other devices, ...

Some of the applications mentioned here require a room that maintains a higher or lower pressure compared to the surrounding ambient environment. If the isolated room has greater air pressure, it is ...

Fig. 1. Strip-type deformation sensors. One ply of cured carbon fiber/epoxy prepreg to be monitored is used as a thin, flexible sheet with optical fibers — one embedded in the upper surface and one in ...

Most determine direction of rotation, speed, and angular position of their rotating targets by generating a series of pulses. Tachometer generators and many other conventional rotation monitors ...

Rugged tech for Africa: VEGA has introduced radar sensors designed to withstand dust, heat, and remote conditions common in African energy operations. Broad energy applications: The sensors serve coal ...

A line of distance measurement sensors, the DT 60, DL 60, DT 500 and DS 500 are well suited for a variety of material handling, logistics and general manufacturing applications. The DT 60 is a ...
