A manufacturer of high-precision machining centers and even more of their customers have already learned to appreciate the advantages of the bi-directional communication interface IO-Link. In their new MCC series the company has used Safety over IO-Link to integrate safety into the overall concept of IO-Link. This makes the processes simpler, more efficient, cost-effective and of course safer.

Haptic force/torque sensors offer companies the opportunity to increase their production efficiency in many areas of application to a significant degree. They open up brand-new potential for automation, especially in the refinement of delicate surfaces, packaging, precision assembly, and quality control.

Generating, transporting and processing information are central tasks in the Industry 4.0 environment. The basis for all the information is intelligent sensors which provide the required input. With their BOS 21M ADCAP will be showing a newly developed optical multifunction sensor, the BOS 21M series.

Micro-Epsilon has extended its product range of capacitive displacement and distance sensors by capacitive thread sensors. These are not intended for clamping but are screwed into a thread. This opens up numerous application possibilities, e.g. when mounting on walls or in bore holes.

In the railway industry, measurement technology is subjected to exceptionally high loads and has to receive special approval. The JUMO MIDAS DP10 differential pressure transmitter masters these challenges with ease.

With a new generation of hygienic pressure sensors in the PP20H family, Baumer closes a gap in its portfolio and also offers an attractively-priced solution for demanding hygienic applications. The sensor has a robust, IP69K-rated stainless steel housing which is designed to handle a variety of applications, and is equipped with a condensate-proof silicon measuring cell.

Gear unit manufacturer Flender will be launching its new DX500 product with associated DX Assist app. The new smart sensor in the Diagnostex product series is a plug & play solution for measurement of vibrations and temperatures on the gear unit and notifies the system operator of irregularities by app straight to his smartphone or tablet.

Smooth-running processes are essential for high process reliability and system availability in countless industries. In this article, we will provide an overview of a new self-calibrating temperature sensor, which will revolutionize the world of temperature measurement technology. This innovative technology will enable a rethink within the life sciences industry which will reduce costs, modernize workflows and significantly increase process reliability.

imc Meßsysteme is revolutionizing temperature measurement in high-voltage environments with a new, fiber-optic CAN measurement module. It applies specially developed fiber Bragg grating sensors (FBG) at eight optical inputs to measure temperatures in high voltage environments and outputs the results via CAN.
