DS30 distance sensor available from Sick

Sat, 16 Jun 2007 18:42:47 +0200

The DS30 available from Sick is more than just an expansion of one of the wide portfolios of industrial distance sensors on the market with its hitherto unique combination of small housing size and precision the DS30 represents a new era of time-of-flight of light measurement.

Level measurement in control

Wed, 06 Jun 2007 23:59:09 +0200

Vega offers a range of rugged level measurement devices designed to withstand pressure shocks, abrasion, moisture, vibration, pollution and condensation. Tough housings protect the fully potted electronics from the moist, humid ambient conditions and the harsh cleaning processes typical of this industry. To measure up to the increasing demands on operational reliability, SIL (Safety Integrity Level) classified instruments are available.

CU-Boulder Researchers To Fly Environmental Sensor In Major DOE Climate Study

Mon, 04 Jun 2007 19:47:22 +0200

The Cloud and Land Surface Interaction Campaign and a coordinated experiment known as the Cumulus Humilis Aerosol Processing Study involve a combination of aircraft and ground-based measurements to enable researchers to capture the full breadth of fluctuations in carbon dioxide, moisture, aerosol particles, cloud properties and radiative energy from within the Earth's surface to the top of the atmospheric boundary layer.

Measuring light screen

Mon, 04 Jun 2007 19:47:22 +0200

The two-component light screen enables simple commissioning. The signal processor is entirely integrated in the receiver housing and can be configured via six DIP switches. A 3-digit display and a LED bargraph indicate the status and the orientation of the emitter and the receiver. If required, the configuration can also be implemented with the delivered software.

PLICSRADIO Wireless Systems From VEGA

Fri, 01 Jun 2007 20:15:09 +0200

Each PLICSRADIO field transmitter can accommodate: up to 3 transmitters and two switches; using a combination of one 4-20 mA, HART and two digital inputs, (relay or NAMUR) they can also provide power for sensors. In-head PLICSRADIO display shows the radio signal strength and data. Simple configuration and diagnostics using the integral PLICSCOM programmer, or remote via PC using FDT/DTM and PACTware software, which also allows connection to set up compatible sensors remotely.

Use An SEM For The Day!

Thu, 24 May 2007 23:29:54 +0200

"The TM-1000 is not only extremely easy to use, but also easy to set up. We can arrive first thing in the morning, install the microscope and give some basic training and the user should be up and running by 10.30 AM. We'll leave the system for unlimited use until 4.30 PM, when we'll come and dismantle it and take it away again."
