The optoCONTROL CLS1000 series of fibre optic sensors from Micro-Epsilon reliably and precisely detect oil leaks in the event of seal failure. At Linde Material Handling, for example, a shaft seal ring (WDR) protects the oil-lubricated gearbox from…

In modern plastics production, innovative sensor technologies offer far-reaching benefits, from increased efficiency and improved product quality to more sustainable production processes. Sensors are not only tools for quality control, but also key…

In the production of solid-to-viscous materials such as gelatine, syrup and plastic, the mass is continuously compressed under pressure in extruders and extruded as a strand. During this process, the material must not heat up too much, otherwise it…
