New high-pressure transmitter breaks the
10,000 bar barrier |
| |
 With
the HP-2 WIKA introduces a new high-pressure transmitter that
can, for the first time, offer pressure ranges up to 15,000 bar (previously
8,000 bar was the limit). At the same time, the long-term stability and
the load cycle stability has been further improved. With the HP-2 the
user gets precise results even at highest pressures, but also gets a
simultaneous reduction in running costs. Because of the extremely good
long-term stability the usually short calibration cycles for high
pressure ranges are stretched, and the downtime of the plant is reduced
accordingly. The high load cycle stability ensures a very long service
life of the unit. As a further feature, especially for highly dynamic
pressure profiles, WIKA has developed a special cavitation protection,
which leads to the long operating life of the HP-2 even in demanding
applications. All-in-all, the new HP-2, more compact than its
predecessor, is more economical thanks to its reliability, its longer
calibration cycles and. ... |

Designing Greener Cars Requires
Sophisticated Testing |
| |
 Sensor
Technology Ltd: The automotive industry’s race to develop a new
generation of high Performance, low emissions power plants has lead to
the emergence of high capability test beds that simultaneously monitor
multiple parameters. The sector is pinning many of its hopes for the
future on the development of electric/petrol and electric/diesel hybrid
engines integrated with known performance enhancing technologies such as
fuel injectors and superchargers. Other projects are looking at marrying
other ‘green’ options such as regenerative braking and kinetic energy
storage with hybrid engines. The once-humble test bed can now require as
much engineering design as the power plants themselves if they are to be
able to monitor multiple parameters simultaneously. However for them to
be efficiently usable they have to be, at heart, as simple as possible.
This need has been converted into a market opportunity for a specialist
torque sensor firm in Oxfordshire. Sensor Technology produces TorqSense,

 KELLER
AG für Druckmesstechnik now presents its fully electronic ECO 1
manometer – an instrument that can perform all standard measuring jobs
at an exceptionally low price. As compared to its mechanical
predecessors, Keller’s digital technology offers high resolution and
excellent repeatabilty at very similar prices. The ECO 1’s dual display
updates twice every second, showing the measured value and the minimum
or maximum value attained. As a special feature, the ECO 1 has a Zero
Tare feature which allows the user to set the zero at any pressure, so
the manometer will then always show deviations from the Zero Tare value
as the actual value. The user-friendly two-key operating system provides
access to the entire range of functions: the stored MAX/MIN can be
erased and reset to zero, or the device can be switched to continuous
mode. In continuous operating mode, the battery has capacity for up to
1400 hours. The ECO 1 electronic manometer has a standard automatic
switch-off time of about 15 minutes after the last key was pressed, this
function extends the battery life where continuous operation is not
required. ... |

To make learning easier: Air quality
signal ensures fresh air in the classroom |
| |
 J.
Dittrich Elektronic GmbH & Co. KG: If pupils are conspicuously tired
during lessons, lack concentration or fidget around, it is due to stuffy
classroom air caused by poor ventilation or the lack of it. This has now
been confirmed by a study carried out at Bremen University under the
leadership of Dr. Gerhart Tiesler. The scientists measured the carbon
dioxide concentration during lessons in three different schools. Without
separate ventilation, the CO2 concentration in the classroom had a
detrimental effect on the pupils' work after just 20 minutes. As the CO2
content in the indoor air increased, the pupils became increasingly
inattentive and tired. CO2 values above the DIN 1946 guide value of
1,500 ppm resulted in slower processing of visual and audio stimuli. By
contrast, the pupils responded to additional airing with increased
attentiveness, lowered physical stress, reduced noise level and a more
intensive teacher-pupil dialogue. ... |

 The
optoNCDT 2200 laser triangulation sensor, Micro-Epsilon’s fastest
in the series to date, will be expanded by a version that is many times
faster. Thanks to a new CCD array, the new optoNCDT 2220 sensor series
now delivers a genuine 20kHz faster measuring rate over the complete
measurement range of each model Therefore, the series is suitable for
measuring extremely fast movement with maximum precision. The resolution
of 0.0015% of the measuring range is consistently achieved for all
models in the range without using an averaging filter. Therefore the
optoNCDT achieves a resolution of 0.03µm for 2mm of measuring area and
does this for each measurement pulse. The range comprises seven sensor
models with various measuring ranges between 2mm and 200mm. Each model
uses Micro-Epsilon’s unique “Real-Time Surface Compensation (RTSC)”
technique corrects the variable reflection characteristics in the same
measuring cycle. This means the sensors can be used to deliver extremely
precise measurement results, regardless of the type of target surface.

PCB Piezotronics Debuts ICP® Force Sensor
Signal Conditioner for Process Monitoring, Quality Assurance & Product
Testing |

 Short
Duration Force Signals No Longer an Issue for PLC’s - Depew, NY, USA –
PCB Piezotronics (PCB®) has announced the debut of Model 410B01
ICP® force sensor signal conditioner, designed for monitoring forces
experienced during manufacturing, assembly, on-line processes, quality
assurance, and end-of-the-line product testing. Retrofitting older
machines for effective in-process force measurements can present many
challenges, including difficulties with proper force sensor integration
and high production cycle rates. Sometimes existing sensing systems or
PLC’s are simply unable to respond quickly enough for reliable,
repeatable performance. Model 410B01 allows older PLC systems to stay in
synch with high-speed production cycles, by actually capturing and
holding the peak force reading until a PLC is able to scan for the value.
In addition, an optically isolated relay resets the value, which ensures
high reliability force measurement and faster machinery production
cycles. . ... |

 Electromechanical
NC joining systems are taking over from the familiar hydraulic presses
and conventional joining modules. In addition to environmental, energy,
space, installation and maintenance benefits, it is primarily
manufacturing criteria that sway the system designer towards an
electromechanical system. These include flexibility, exact positioning,
extremely high repeatability and accurately defined joining forces.
Kistler's new generation of electromechanical NC joining modules
NCFH Type 2151B… offers a particularly compact, high-precision system

joining tasks. The integration of piezoelectric force measurement allows
two types of modules (a small one for up to 10 kN and a large one for up
to 60 kN) to cover the range of forces previously requiring seven. This
very impressive interchangeability for the variety of conditions
encountered with a given machine design is made possible by the
switchable measuring range of the integral force sensor. This sector is

JUMO MIDAS S05 - Low cost pressure
transmitter with compact and robust construction |
| |
 The
newly developed pressure transmitter MIDAS S05 from JUMO offers a
high quality at a low price. This was reached through a consequently
cost-oriented design, the use of modern production technologies and a
maximum of automation. The completely welded measurement system made of
stainless steel is suitable for almost all media and the use under the
rawest conditions. It offers optimum safety in view of a leakage of the
process agent. The used silicon sensor itself can endure extreme burdens
in the lowest measurement range of 250 mbar and can perform millions of
pressure cycles. Especially this durability while under extreme pressure
is important for applications in the area of pump control, since here
often pressure peaks and cavitation must be considered. There are many
areas of application in cooling and air conditioning facilities, in
compressors, in mechanical engineering, in the field of commercial
vehicles and in industrial pneumatics. For the connection to the process
there are a number of thread forms and sizes. ... |
