Sensors

Incremental rotation sensors are used wherever displacement, positions or speeds have to be measured accurately. They are therefore important interfaces between the mechanical and electronic parts of a machine. Mechanically robust, electrically reliable and resistant to extreme ambient conditions; these are the outstanding properties offered by this sensor. Typical applications include —Machine tools —Wood and plastic machining —Textile machines —Lifts —Door systems —Paper machines —Drive equipment —Assembly and handling equipment —Packaging machines —Scales —Test machines —Conveying equipment —Doors and gates Specific characteristics —Degree of protection IP65, all-around —Robust —High resistance to interference —Rotary speed sensor: 60 pulses/turn (standard) —Angular displacement sensor: up to 3600 pulses/turn —Detection of rotation direction (channels A and B) —Reference pulse (channel N) —Special versions on request

The turboSPEED DZ140 is designed for rotation speed measurements of turbochargers. The turbocharger rotation speed sensors are extremely compact and directly integrated in the turbocharger housing.

Q6-Lasor sensor – High Speed, High Resolution – Q6 Sets New Standards for 2D / 3D Measurement: Resolution of up to 0.6 µm Profile speed of up to 25.000 profiles/s Measuring ranges between 2 mm and up to 370 mm available Laser wave lengths starting from UV via blue, red and green through to IR The Q6 laser sensor series has already proven its ability in numerous industrial applications demanding a high degree of precision and process stability at increased travel speed. For common environments, connection is established via GIGE interface and GeniCam. Integration with linear axes and robots is possible by means of encoder inputs and trigger option.

Stable and robust humidity sensors with ultra-fast response time are often required in applications involving meteorology – not only in normal conditions, but also under elevated environmental constraints such as extremely low temperatures, high radiation levels and under extreme condensation. Such applications need fully tailored solutions, such as those provided by the Innovative Sensor Technology IST AG P14 Rapid. The P14 Rapid humidity sensor combines speed and full range operation in an ideal way. The sensor is capable of measuring 0 % RH to 100 % RH (maximal dew point +85 °C) with a capacitance of 140 pF ±40 pF (wired) / 180 pF ±50 pF (SMD) (at 30 % RH and +23 °C) and operates within a temperature range of -80 °C to +150 °C.
