The confocalDT 2421 and 2422 controllers are used for distance and thickness measurements of diffuse reflecting and specular surfaces. Available as either a single- or a dual-channel version, these confocal chromatic measuring systems offer a low cost solution especially for series applications. The active exposure regulation feature in the CCD array enables accurate, fast surface compensation on changing surfaces. This controller is compatible with all sensor types of the IFS series covering numerous measurement tasks. The controller is optionally available as a multi-peak version for multi-layer thickness measurements. Using a special calculation function, the confocalDT 2422 dual-channel version evaluates both channels. Measurement acquisition is synchronous and can be carried out while exploiting the full measuring rate for both channels.

Areas of Application and Advantages BEDIA CLS 10 stands for special versions of our well-proven CLS 40 series for heavy duty applications. Currently, the BEDIA CLS 10 series includes a variety of sensors, which are compatible replacement parts for level switches from Cooper Standard and Robert Shaw which are obsolete nowadays – and this in well proven BEDIA quality. This also includes sensors with 2 complementary CMOS outputs. It should be emphasized that the water sensors with two complementary outputs can be operated with a supply voltage of 4.75 V DC – 32 V DC. Operating Principle The function of the sensor is based on the capacitive principle. It detects the change in capacitance that arises when an electrode surrounded by air is immersed into a liquid medium. This change in capacitance at the electrode of the sensor excites an oscillator, causing it to oscillate (at a frequency of approx. 600 kHz). Then this signal is processed by a microprocessor-based evaluation circuit.

With its flat construction this force sensor is specially designed to be fitted to a pedal. By this, the operator's forces for each respective action, for example brake tests, can be measured directly and the reaction of the vehicle or machine can be designated. This applies to real test drives, as well as in driving simulators. Due to the special construction of the membrane, it is irrelevant whether an upright or hanging pedal is concerned. The sensor is designed in a way that unavoidable lateral forces have as little impact on the measurement result as possible. Using a central internal thread on the control surface, various machine-related adaptor parts can be easily mounted. Because the pedal is convex-shaped on its surface, the pedal force sensor has a very rigid base plate and therefore can easily be applied to various geometrics. The mounting can even take place on a pedal with an elastomer covering.

The CM-Sensors are specially designed for demanding applications: They withstand high pressures up to 100 bars (and more) at temperatures up to 190 °C. At conventional sensors with a similar size the probe head must be kept free from surrounding conductive objects, in order to avoid pre-attenuation of the measuring system. In contrast, the socket for the CM-sensor does not require additional notches or holes.This feature arises from the utilization of zirconium oxide as housing material and ferritic components with a focusing effect. The CM-sensor is typically applied to monitor the orbit of a turbocharger’s shaft.Its ball bearings have a squeeze film damper to reduce the rotor vibration. In order to optimize the entire system the CM-sensors detect the exact position of the turbine- and compressor wheel under real operating conditions.
