The Hamburg-based LiDAR sensor specialist Ibeo Automotive Systems GmbH will begin worldwide delivery of its new ibeoNEXT LiDAR sensor to partners and customers starting in October 2020. The sensor is based on a completely new type of photon laser measurement technology and works completely without moving parts (real solid-state). It generates an additional black-and-white image, […]
Next-generation gyro stabilized tilt sensor combines MEMS sensing with advanced filtering
AXISENSE-G dynamic tilt sensor uses gyroscope compensation for dynamic and harsh environments. Worldwide safety regulations in aerial work platforms and agriculture and construction vehicles are becoming more rigorous than ever. From an excavator digging trenches to a boom lift helping workers pick cherries or install overland lines, tilt sensors confirm that safety and increased uptime […]
IDEM non-contact guard locking RFID coded safety switches
IDEM non-contact RFID coded safety switches from AutomationDirect are designed to provide interlock protection on hinged, sliding, or removable guard doors. These switches are particularly advantageous when poor guard alignment exists, when high-level anti-tamper is required, where high-hygiene requirements exist, (food industry hose down applications) or where long mechanical life is required. When used in […]

It provides resolutions in the submicron range and operates with a frequency response up to 20 kHz. The inductive measuring system is designed for applications in industrial processes. As it is compatible with more than 100 sensor models, versatile applications can be […]
Smallest thermal imaging camera in its class monitors dynamic processes
The new thermoIMAGER TIM QVGA thermal imaging camera combines a compact size and high resolution with high speed. The camera is well-suited to monitoring tasks in industrial processes. With a frame rate up to 80 Hz and a resolution of 382 x 288 pixels, the thermoIMAGER TIM QVGA operates quickly and reliably in a temperature […]
Laser distance sensors for precise robot positioning
In series production of vehicles, numerous production steps are automated and are performed using modern manufacturing processes based on innovative technologies. Precise sensors are indispensable in this respect. They enable high precision robot positioning, for example, when assembling the cockpit. The vehicle bodies move in cycles to the respective position on the assembly line. The […]
AutomationDirect adds capacitive pushbutton sensor switches and indicators
Captron SENSORswitches are capacitive pushbuttons which are activated without pressure, using a hand or other parts of the body. The buttons have a determinate sensing distance, which may be altered by varying the approach speed and/or damping factor. A quickly approaching finger will achieve a higher sensing distance than a slowly approaching finger. A hand, […]
