Touchless angle sensorssport IO-Link output interface

May 18, 2022 By Redding Traiger

Novotechnik U.S. introduces the RFC4800 Series of touchless angle sensors measuring angular position up to 360°, revolution counter, and speed—without wear. The RFC 4800 is now available with an IO-Link output interface. Its serial communication protocol needs only three wires to transmit measured values and status information simultaneously. The status bit can signal a controller […]

How can sensors help cleanup waterways?

May 18, 2022 By RFrank

Twenty years after its first-generation design was introduced (2002), iRobot’s Roomba has spawned many competitors for indoor cleanup and made several advancements to its initial capabilities. Interactive Autonomous Dynamic Systems (IADYS) has applied the autonomous robot concept to address cleaner and safer water in rivers, canals, lakes, ponds, shipyards and more. IADYS’ Jellyfishbot autonomously collects […]

How many types of radar are there?

May 17, 2022 By Jeff Shepard

Radio detection and ranging (radar) uses reflected radio waves to detect and determine the distance, angle, and velocity of objects relative to the radar system. A basic radar system consists of a transmitter producing electromagnetic waves in the radio or microwave spectrum (these can be pulsed or continuous), a transmitting antenna, a receiving antenna (often […]
