With Type 9129A... Kistler Instrumente AG is introducing a 3-component system for measuring machining forces (cutting force (Fc), feed force (Ff), passive force (Fp)) during turning processes. The modular system is based on the dynamometer Type 9129AA, which is also new. The modularity allows different lathe adapters (VDI, Coromant Capto and clamping unit for standard turret) and various sizes of t...

Absolute linear encoders of the LIC 4000 series from HEIDENHAIN were introduced to the market at the Control 2009. Besides its capability of absolute position measurement, the encoder is characterized by its high resolution of 1 nanometer and its fast, purely serial EnDat 2.2 interface. Absolute encoders, which provide the current position immediately upon switch-on, offer high technological rel...

Industrial applications often require to measure, with sensors and transducers, without having any available power supply line. AN601 is powered by batteries and it is possible to change them by means of a lid on their housing. AN601 has a five digits red LEDs display with high brightness, it shows measured values in engineering units and it has nine push buttons that allow to easily calibrate...

Many machine manufacturers need to measure forces or weight by interposing a compact load cell in series to their tie-rods, kinematics, actuators, metal frames or under their tank and hopper legs. DS Europe has been manufacturing load cells and transducers for 30 years and to satisfy this need is proposing series AP7000 load cells that is extremly compact, rugged and easy to install because of Its...

RDP Electronics Ltd has developed a range of IP 65 rated in-line signal conditioning amplifiers that are suitable for mounting close to transducers in wet and grimy locations such as experienced on machines used in many process industries. Signal conditioning is required to boost or convert transducer output to a level and format for monitoring or data logging purposes. Because it is important ...

ThyssenKrupp Steel has ordered eight CALIX systems for the new hot-dip galvanizing lines of the Compass project. The systems will be used to measure the strip thickness at the line entry. In contrast to isotope and X-ray gages these systems measure thickness completely independent of material density and require no regular inline calibration or intensive maintenance. At its new strip production...

Dransfeld, 04 June 2009. The German company Cassel Messtechnik GmbH with headquarters in Dransfeld near Hanover has recently developed a new metal detector for the isolation material industry. It detects ferrous particles with a diameter of down to 0.5 mm. Up to now, only x-ray-technology has been able to detect 0.5 mm particles in up to 8 mm thick board material. However, the new metal detecto...

New dynamometer Type 9129AA from Kistler Instrumente AG has an impressively low overall height of 32 mm and large measuring range of up to ±10 kN replaces the CompactDyn Type 9254. The cover plate is 95x105 mm in size. The dynamometer is used for measuring the three components of the resultant force vector and the three components of the resultant moment vector. The measurement signals of the four ...

celduc® relais offers a wide range of magnetic sensors for elevators with reed switches or “Electronic” magnetic sensors using an Hall effect cell or magneto resistance. The magnetic field supplied with the permanent magnet, enables the sensible part (the reed switch or the Hall effect cell or the magneto resistance) to react. It is important to combine the magnet and the sensor in the using...

Magtrol SA, Switzerland, specialist in force measurement, presents a new range of force sensors enables the check and control the clamping force of cabin on ropeway as well as emergency brake forces. Based on strain gauges technology, the SK-01 sensor, is measuring the force along the clamping distance and not only on a single point. It is easy to install, and suitable for outdoor use (sta...

Movement and deflection in tunnels can be effectively monitored using a range of water-resistant LVDTs developed by measurement specialists RDP Electronics Ltd. Concrete and steel lined, or hewn rock, tunnels can be subject to movement and deflections due to the overlying rock strata. In areas of geological or seismic activity there may be a greater need to monitor movements, which may foretell...

Steel can suffer, no question about it. Over the course of time strong detergents or acids can cause it to corrode. That is, unless we are talking about stainless-steel. Because the refining of steel not only brings with it a whole raft of beneficial mechanical properties but also a very high level of material resistance and consequently an almost unlimited service life. The new Kübler Sendix 5006 ...
