The laser line scanner scanCONTROL2800 makes use of the triangulation principle for the two-dimensional acquisition of profiles on the most varied target surfaces.
When faced with the choice of a magnetic sensor, the question is: what type of technology you should - Reed sensor or electronic sensor, that is Hall Effect cells or magneto-resistance cells.
Critical drug delivery errors are being driven out of medical practice by advancing intravenous (IV) medication delivery technologies with smart memories and optimised drive mechanisms.
Beijer Electronics is introducing a new compact operator terminal in the popular CIMREX series: CIMREX41.
For years measuring linear movement has been achieved using a wide range of sensors.
Newport's XPS is a next generation high-performance, integrated motion controller/driver offering outstanding trajectory accuracy and exceptional programming functionality.
Whereas older systems might use mainframe technology and take three seconds or more to display data, modern systems take advantage of 64-bit processors to update complex data displays - perhaps with as many as 300 dynamic elements - in less than one second.
Recent developments in electronic data recording technology are offering new opportunities for the way in which process data can be used.
