In harsh environments where non contact speed sensing and control are required, for example to control the slip of AC induction motors, the measurement resolution is usually derived from the number of gear teeth of the target. In many cases the desired resolution is higher than the diameter of the pole wheel and the minimum size of the module would allow. The new DSI family of speed sensor from Swi...

Sensor reliability is a critical issue in many applications. All capacitive and eddy-current noncontact detection from Lion Precision will carry a two-year warranty beginning June 1, 2007. The change results from recent investigations showing that the company’s general sensor lines have lower failure rates than their market-leading LRD line of professional label sensors which has always carried...
The Lion Precision Spindle Error Professional analyzer has adopted the National Instruments USB-6251 Multifunction DAQ as its data acquisition solution. Previously, 20-30% of sales engineers’ support time was spent helping users install PCI or PCMCIA plug-in DAQ cards. The USB-6251 has eliminated the vast majority of that support time and made life considerably easier for Spindle Error Analyzer...
The new Targa III Dynamic Runout instrument measures runout on high-speed spindles at speeds up to 300,000 RPM. Printed circuit board and other
high-speed drilling operations require extremely low runout to prevent tool
breakage leading to part failure. Static spindle runout, measured with a
dial indicator while the spindle is turned by hand, may have very little
correla...
