Meder Electronic has introduced the MK24 Series Reed Sensors, measuring 5 x 1.8 x 2.2mm and meeting a minimum life expectancy of 50 million operations at 5V, 5mA and 100Hz. The energy-saving device requires no external power to operate, making them e

Hamamatsu Photonics has introduced the high-speed S11071 series of cost-effective back-thinned charged-coupled-device (CCD) image sensors with reduced etaloning effect. The back-thinned CCD technology has long been used in the development of high-end

SICK has launched the LMS 100 series of laser sensors, which the company says enables high-accuracy sensing with minimal errors for security, safety and presence detection. The LMS 100 series has the ability to avoid false signals and has broad usabi

Micro-Epsilon has supplied 600 eddy current sensors to the Chinese Academy of Science for use on the Lamost (Large sky Area Multi-Object fibre Spectroscopic Telescope). The custom-developed eddy current sensors have a measuring range of 2mm and provi

Pepperl And Fuchs has refined its pulse-ranging technology (PRT) so that it can be used in sensors of all sizes for a range of industrial applications. Unlike indirect measuring processes such as phase-correlation and analogue chip-based processes, t

RDP Electronics has announced that its MTS R-Series magnetostrictive position sensors are now available in EX-ATEX-approved versions. Suitable for use in Zone 2 hazardous areas for gas and Zone 22 for dust, the approval applies to all analogue, SSI a

Bosch Rexroth's ultrasound sensors, of which 100m have now been made, give vehicles a sense of touch and allow them to register their surroundings. The success story of these ultrasound sensors began in 1993, when Ford offered a reverse parking-aid i

Smartlevel sensors from Balluff provide accurate level detection in demanding applications where extensive foaming, filming, and material build-up are present. They reliably distinguish between true liquid level and foam, film, or build-up that would
