PCB Piezotronics, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of MTS Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: MTSC), has released its smallest, 0.47-in. (11.8 mm), ground isolated, miniature triaxial cube accelerometers with TEDS (Transducer Electronic Data Sheet). Models J356A43 / 44 / 45 join the family of miniature triaxial ICP accelerometers with TEDS that are ideal for modal and structural […]
Velodyne’s lidar sensors enable robots to see
Velodyne’s lidar sensors are designed for seamless integration with robotic platforms by being easy to mount, having low-power consumption and include a web configuration tool. They are meticulously designed to perform in high-stress environmental conditions like inclement weather, essential for outdoor deployments. Some of Velodyne Lidar’s technology and value-adds in the robotics space: Postmateshas included […]
What is chromatography?
According to “Chromatography Composition Measurement,” in The Measurement, Instrumentation, and Sensors Handbook, chromatography is a technique for separating mixtures into their components. The process involves two phases. The first phase is stationary and provides a large surface area. The second phase is mobile and moves in a fixed direction relative to the stationary phase. Modern […]
What is the difference between an ECG, EEG, EMG and EOG?
An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG), electroencephalogram (EEG), electromyogram (EMG) and electrooculogram (EOG) all measure biopotentials, the electrical output of human activity. However, the amplitude and bandwidth of the measurements varies for each of these. The table shows the values for each biopotential group according to the article “Biopotentials and Electrophysiology Measurements” in The Measurement, Instrumentation, […]
How will 5G technology impact sensors?
Fourth generation (4G) wireless cellular networks can theoretically download at speeds up to 100 Mbps, but a fifth generation (5G) network can achieve from 1-10 Gbps. While some fifth generation (5G) wireless cellular systems began operation in limited areas of the US and other parts of the world in 2018, 2019 should mark the real […]
What application problems do newly released sensors solve?
Coping with the application environment is one of the more complex issues that sensors must address. To survive in harsh environments, sensors manufacturers improve the ruggedness of their sensors in many different ways. Three recently announced products exemplify the differences. For dusty and wet environments, Sensata Technologies ACW4 single turn and TCW4 multi-turn absolute Hall […]
How do you solve complex sensing application issues?
A common problem in applying an existing sensor (or many other products for that matter) to a new application is a shortcoming in one or more of the sensor’s capabilities. In some cases, the sensor’s specifications clearly show its limitations. So, what does an inventor or system designer do to overcome the limitations? For a […]
Modular Hall Effect sensors are well-sealed, easy-to-install
Sensata Technologies today announced the availability of the new ACW4 Single Turn and TCW4 Multi Turn Absolute Hall Effect Sensors, which feature an over-molded, two-part modular construction that provides engineers with exceptional design flexibility. The sensing electronics are encased in a thermoplastic polyamide shell while the separate activating magnet is external to the sensor assembly. […]
Swift Sensors adds trend analytics tools for manufacturing applications
Swift Sensors, developers of Industrial IoT wireless sensors systems, has announced its new predictive maintenance tools for its Manufacturing Analytics Dashboard. The tools add trend analytics to key manufacturing metrics of compliance, utilization, maximum, minimum and average measured values monitored by the wireless sensor system. Eleven new dashboard panels have been added for measuring analytic […]
What market growth is expected for sensors? Part 3: Drone Sensors
Drones represent a focused application for many different types of sensors. In broad terms, the sensors in these applications can be classified as optical, acoustic, position, touch, environment and other sensors. More specifically, the sensor types include: inertial sensors (accelerometers, gyroscope, magnetometers, tilt), image sensors (infrared, thermal, multispectral, 3D), speed and distance sensors (radar, LiDAR, […]
