Sick ColorRanger E high-speed 3D camera
26 August, 2011 by3D imaging is ideal where height, shape or volume is of importance for the production process. However, to make a complete quality or grading decision, it is often necessary to also consider the colour of the parts produced. This is, for instance, common in grading of fruits and vegetables, shape and baking degree verification of baked goods, and fill level and colour verification in beverages. By considering both 3D and colour aspects, more reliable decisions can be made which improve the product quality and reduce waste.

ifm efector LMT Series level sensor
28 April, 2011The LMT Series level sensor can be used as a suitable alternative to tuning-fork level sensors that are prone to false signalling.
Dwyer EMMA environmental multifunction meter
24 April, 2011 byThe model EMMA environmental multifunction meter measures humidity, temperature, air velocity, air flow, sound and light measurements in the one instrument. The large, dual-line 4-digit LCD shows both the current and average reading. For reading measurements in dimly lit areas, the display has a built-in back light. Besides measuring the current and average reading, the meter allows the user to read the minimum, maximum and differential measurement for each of the parameters. Included with the meter is the carrying case, rubber boot, battery and tripod.
Turck LI-Q17 miniature linear displacement sensor
23 April, 2011 byDesigned for very short measuring ranges between 50 and 200 mm, Turck has developed a miniature linear displacement sensor, the LI-Q17, uniting all the positive qualities of customary measuring systems in one solution. The LI-Q17 doesn’t work with a magnetic locator but with the resonant circuit measuring principle, where an object’s position is detected via an inductive oscillating system, consisting of a condenser and a coil. The sensor is able to work reliably where the functionality of a magnetic position device is massively affected by electromagnetic fields - caused by large motors or welding plants.
Beamex MC5 Multifunction NATA Calibrator
21 April, 2011 byTechRentals has introduced the Beamex MC5 Multifunction NATA Calibrator into its test and measurement rental fleet.
Leuze Electronic AMS 300i laser distance measurement
16 April, 2011 byThe laser distance measurement systems AMS 300i from Leuze Electronic offers a selection of integrated interfaces.
Fluid Components International ST51 Air/Gas Flow Meter
22 February, 2011 byThe ST51 Air/Gas Flow Meter from Fluid Components International (FCI) provides industrial plant engineers with a solution for greenhouse gas (GHG) monitoring and supports the EPA’s BACT (Best Available Control Technology) initiative in the US. The flowmeter is suitable for the measurement and monitoring of industrial plant greenhouse gases. It features a no-moving-parts design that’s non clogging and operates over a wide flow range with low-flow sensitivity. Packaged in an explosion-proof transmitter, the calibration is matched to the user’s actual gas composition and installation conditions.
