12-11-2010: Novel approach to displacement measurement for hydraulic cylinders eliminates need for costly drilling

ME110-wire-hydraulic-35px
Two companies have developed a completely new approach to measuring the displacement of hydraulic cylinders. By integrating a draw-wire displacement sensor inside the cylinder, piston rods no longer have to be deep bore drilled using specialist equipment, irrespective of cylinder stroke length, says Thomas Birchinger, Product Manager Draw-Wire Sensors at Micro-Epsilon.

12-10-2010: High precision thickness measurement

NLDE1009-capa-Dicke-35px
Capacitive sensors are often used in complex thickness measurement systems for reflecting objects. A thickness measurement solution is achieved quickly by using the built-in calculation functions of the capaNCDT 6500. Significant advantages can be gained that would not be possible using optical sensors.
