With the Speetec, Sick is expanding its product range for speed and length measurement of objects moving in a linear path to include technology that measures directly on the material surface. The ...

Of course, many different types of distance measuring sensors exist but not all sensors are the same. Each sensor has its own advantages and disadvantages. At its most basic level, a distance ...

The next generation optical speed and length sensor ProSpeed LSV-2100 is designed to reliably perform even under harsh conditions and with up to 3 meters stand-off distances. ProSpeed is the reliable ...

Measuring air flow in an HVAC duct can be a tricky business. Paddle wheel and turbine flow meters introduce not only resistance but maintenance issue due to accumulated dust and debris. Being able to ...

Inductive position-measuring systems (IPMSs) operate on the same principle as an inductive proximity sensor. But instead of a single sensing coil, position measuring uses a multiple-coil system ...

The monitoring of rotation can involve such sensor types as proximity, photoelectric, resolvers, encoders, and tachometer generators. Most determine direction of rotation, speed, and angular position ...

Two teams of physicists have designed the first programmable quantum sensor, and tested it in the laboratory. To do so they applied techniques from quantum information processing to a measurement ...

Measuring RF Power Sensor Nonlinearity RF power sensor linearity is a commonly misunderstood topic. To obtain the most accurate power measurements, though, you need to understand what linearity is, ...
