IFM measures air gaps with micro-metre precision

IFM measures air gaps with micro-metre precision

When a workpiece must be positioned accurately to within a fraction of a millimetre, or when it’s necessary to measure the surface roughness of an item, the new SDP110 air-gap sensor from IFM Electronic provides an effective and easily implemented solution. This novel sensor, which uses air flowing through a nozzle to measure the distance between the nozzle and the workpiece, has a resolution of 5µm, which is just one-tenth of the thickness of a typical human hair. Maximum measuring range is 400 µm.

Read how to be smart with Contrinex

Read how to be smart with Contrinex"s smart inductive sensors

Contrinex’s range of high-performance inductive sensors with many benefits has been further enhanced by its smart sensors, which combine a microcontroller with the sensor’s ASIC to add on-board processing to “measure, monitor, configure and predict”. They offer machine builders the ability to program a customised sensor for their application, without the cost and time delay associated with ordering low-volume custom parts.

Germicidal LEDs with a focused beam for high intensity

Germicidal LEDs with a focused beam for high intensity

The UVC-LED S6060TL from Bolb is highly efficient in the disinfection of water, air, and surfaces. The narrow beam angle of only 33° guarantees a high intensity of UVC radiation. This allows a shorter irradiation time and thus also more efficiency in disinfection.

Swivel pad indexing levers enable flexible and mark-free clamping

Swivel pad indexing levers enable flexible and mark-free clamping

A new range of indexing levers designed to clamp in restricted spaces without marking the workpiece or equipment is now available. Leeds-based standard parts and components supplier, WDS Components, has released a range of T and L shaped levers with a choice of ball ends or soft pads, giving flexibility and ease of clamping. The indexing levers are a useful clamping mechanism when a complete 360° locking rotation cannot be achieved.

Upgrading automation devices with TSN connectivity

Upgrading automation devices with TSN connectivity

Businesses driving their digital transformation journeys are demanding access to all data in their manufacturing systems. This requires the combination of IT and OT networks, selecting Ethernet as a backbone, and enabling automation devices with Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) communications. Product vendors who address this can leverage their existing solutions to quickly provide next-level capabilities. Knowing how to start, how to support TSN based industrial Ethernet protocols and how to leverage a corresponding development ecosystem, is key to ensuring success.

Advances in additive manufacturing materials reduce repair times and extend turbine service life

Advances in additive manufacturing materials reduce repair times and extend turbine service life

Rotating equipment, such as gas or steam turbines and compressors play an important role in modern industry. The operators’ investment is usually recovered by long and reliable operation, but in some cases, due to their long service lives, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) may no longer offer the necessary support. Continuous advancements in maintenance engineering mean that today, specialist solutions can quickly deliver reverse engineered, precision parts that benefit from modern materials and improved reliability.
