SICK one of the world’s leading manufacturers of sensors, safety systems, machine vision, encoders and automatic identification solutions for factory, logistics, and process automation, announced the ...

Machines are moving beyond single-point sensing. Multi-sensor fusion now delivers vision, ranging and inertial data. The ...

Ultrasonics or ultrasound is a radar-like system that uses ultrasonic signals at frequencies above those typical for human hearing, usually above 16 to 20 kHz. The 40- to 70-kHz range tends to be most ...

Machines need sensors and transmitters to operate reliably and consistently. All it takes is a small drop in air pressure or a slight jam to cause a machine to crash; these sorts of problems can often ...

There is a lot of buzz about electromagnetic (EM) detection and ranging sensor technology, which encompass radar, lidar, infrared (IR), ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB), and many others. However, there are ...

Hoping to save the paper manufacturing industry millions of dollars in energy costs, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory engineers have developed a laser ultrasonic sensor that measures paper's ...

The sensors are rated IP69K, IP67 (NEMA 6) and are constructed of heavy-duty 316 stainless steel. A smooth barrel housing—free of threads, gaps or seams that could collect debris—is designed to allow ...

Ensuring safe social distancing is one piece of the puzzle for workers in the COVID-19 age. Ultrasonic range-finding sensors can measure the distance between workers with centimeter accuracy and alert ...
