Infrared temperature sensor
Raytek has introduced the MI3 Series of infrared temperature measurement sensors, a new generation of non-contact temperature monitoring for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) applications and manufacturing processes. The Raytek MI3 sensors feature a rugged IP65 (NEMA 4) stainless steel sensing head with a separate communication module, and are designed to meet virtually any non-contact temperature measurement requirement. The new sensors also include a broad choice of sensing head temperature ranges and spectral responses, a standard USB 2.0 digital interface for easy sensor set-up and...

Rugged non-contact sensor
The new Temposonics C-Series Model CR Rod and Cylinder sensor from MTS is well suited to a number of off-highway machine designs. It integrates MTS' standard Model CS or CM sensor inside a 2mm thick steel mechanical package that is designed to protect the sensor from the mechanical pounding and environmental scourges seen by off-highway machines. The heavy-duty packaging and non-contact technology, along with its design for minimal modification mounting, makes the CR sensor ANalternative to other rod-and-cylinder style sensors that migrated from indoor purposed packages. The...
Flow sensors feature multiple sensing points
ITM’s Dwyer DS-300 In-Line Flow Sensors features multiple sensing points and built-in averaging capability, eliminating the need for traversing the flowing stream.
These flow sensors are designed to be inserted in the pipeline through a compression fitting. They are furnished with instrument shut-off valves on both pressure connections. Valves are fitted with 1/8" female NPT connections. Series DS-300 flow sensors are available for pipe sizes from 1" to 10".

New sensor suppresses background
Balluff recently launched its mid-sized block style photoelectric sensor, the BOS 23 K.
The new sensor features the conventional sensing modes of diffuse, retro-reflective, and thru-beam, as well as background suppression sensors.
The BOS 23 K also features long sensing ranges, accurate switching performance, highly visible red light for easy alignment, and two mounting options for flexible sensor placement. It’s well suited for use in material handling and conveying applications.

Safe camera sensor
SICK has presented its V300 WS Extended, the latest generation of safe camera sensors for protecting hazardous areas and points-of-operation at SIL2 or PL d levels. Its range has been enhanced so that it can now monitor protective areas of up to 2.25 m². Operating two systems in Synchronous Mode allows the size of the protective field to be doubled. Commissioning of the V300 WS Extended has been made even easier with the help of intuitive single-button operation and the improved four-LED display. The single-device concept of the safe camera sensor is also convincing in economic terms -...
Inductive proximity sensors
Pepperl+Fuchs has introduced its X-Series Pile Driver extended range inductive sensors, available in 12, 18 and 30 diameters to deliver sensing ranges of 5mm, 10mm or 15mm. Stainless steel housings deliver durability more than 20 times that of the competition’s brass and plastic housings, the company says, and Black Armor coated weld-immune models are also available. Its extended sensing field is a big benefit in automotive manufacturing applications, as it enables reliable detection of irregularly shaped contours, and increased sensor-to-target distances help eliminate contact-related...
Programmable incremental encoders
SICK|STEGMANN’s DFS 60 incremental encoders are now available in fully programmable versions to accommodate any value from one to 65,536 pulses per revolution. With the help of a simple programming tool, users, system integrators and distributors are able to select any number of lines between 1 and 65,536 via their PC or Notebook. They are also able to set the zero pulse width to 90°, 180° or 270° and program the electrical interface to either HTL or TTL. The DFS60 is a universal device for determining angles, positions, speeds and accelerations in automation technology. They are...
Explosion-proof pressure sensor
American Sensor Technologies Inc. (AST) has released the AST46HA, a media-isolated explosion-proof sensor with digital compensation and single-seal approval. Featuring all stainless-steel construction and approved to CSA30 (UL1203/FM3615) Class 1, Division 1 and Zone 1 Group IIB Explosion Proo, Groups C and D, the AST46HA is a solution for extreme temperature applications, including arctic environments and off shore platforms. While oil filled sensor technologies can experience freezing or boiling at extreme temperatures, the AST46HA pressure sensor utilizes a one-piece stainless steel...
Ultra-miniature accelerometer
Dytran Instruments Inc. has introduced an ultra-miniature IEPE accelerometer with titanium housing. Weighing in at just 0.2 grams, this accelerometer reduces mass loading effects; because of its tiny "teardrop" design, the 3224A3 is suited for shock and vibration measurements in even the smallest locations. Model 3224A3 is laser-welded in a titanium housing which ensures its robust construction and contributes to its lightweight. It has a sensitivity of 5 mV/g and can operate at temperatures up to 300°F. It features integrated electronics, an adhesive mount and a planar shear, ceramic...
Magnetic angular position sensors
ASM Sensors has introduced a new line of heavy-duty, magnetic angular position sensors, PRAS5 series, with a measurement range of 0-360° and an IP69K enclosure rating. Whenever an angular encoder needs to be mounted externally on applications such as mobile construction equipment, wind mills and off-shore use, the sensor is expected to be exposed to severe weather conditions, temperature fluctuations and excessive debris. PRAS5 is available with either a rugged aluminum or stainless steel housing that permits the sensor to perform continuously under these demanding environmental...
Optical sensors track placement
SICK has launched its new OD Value family of optical displacement sensors, the latest addition the company’s existing line of high-accuracy measurement solutions. Similar to SICK’s other optical displacement sensors, the OD Value performs a variety of interface capabilities for high-accuracy quality control applications in the automotive, robotics and electronics/semiconductor markets. These new sensors use CMOS–a superior technology that allows measurement of targets regardless of color or reflectivity from bright shiny objects to dark remission objects all with high accuracy in a...
