The quality of spot welding depends on the force applied by the electrodes as well as on the intensity of the welding current. Within such a control program, the measurement of the force applied by the electrodes is extremely important for ensuring constant production. That is why we have developed this equipment to measure the closing force of the grips that may be used during the final stage o...

Compact solenoid interlocks for explosible areas With series EEx AZM 415 steute has introduced - as far as they know - the first solenoid interlock that meets the ATEX directive for explosion hazards arising from gas and dust and is certified correspondingly. Now this range of Ex safety interlocks is extended by a compact series. The EEx STM 295 is suitable for smaller, lighter guard doors. ...

Chatsworth, CA – July 15, 2009 – Dytran Instruments, Inc. is pleased to introduce a new series of ring style charge output force sensors. The 1210C series can be preloaded and used as force links for both tension and compression measurements. These sensors resemble washers, as they are in the form of thin rings with through holes. They are designed to measure rapid or slowly changing dynamic f...

With the Laser-Distance-Sensors DLS-B of the Swiss company Dimetix AG, you measure absolute distances up to 500 meters. Thanks to state-of-the-art laser technology, the DLS-B device measures with an unchallenged precision of 1.5 millimeters. This maximum error indication is definitive and includes, amongst other things, errors of the operating temperature and errors of linearity. Furthermore, the r...

Magtrol is recognized worldwide as a designer and supplier of force and weight sensors for harsh environement applications such as lifting systems, cranes, lifts. To expand its product offer and its expertise in applications requiring measuring very small forces, Magtrol has developed a mini-sensor, the MBB-02 which is particularly well suited for micro-measurement field, like watch-making or ...

How long should an encoder last in an industrial application? The answer is simple: as long as possible. Despite the difficulty in achieving this, a great advance has been made by the Swedish encoder manufacturer Leine & Linde. Maintenance, machine downtime and loss of production cost the industry millions each year. Leine & Linde understand this, which is why we are proud to offer an option tha...

Leine & Linde now offer stainless steel versions of all their fieldbus encoders with shaft. Available interfaces are PROFIBUS, PROFINET, DeviceNet™ and CANopen. Conventional rotary encoders are not suitable for harsh environments where corrosive agents are found. This is the case in many industries in which the encoders are exposed to an atmosphere of moisture and chemicals. Such environments wi...
