Magnetic guide sensor with angle measurement enhances mobile robot path following
Naviq’s new MTS160 is a state-of-the-art magnetic guide sensor for mobile robots, featuring patented angle measurement capabilities with 1-degree precision and position accuracy within 1 mm. This unique dual functionality provides exceptional orientation and positioning precision, significantly improving the navigation capabilities of mobile robotic systems. Unlike traditional magnetic line-following sensors that only detect position along […]
Touchless angle sensors feature CAN SAE J1939 interface
Novotechnik, U.S. has added the CAN J1939 interface to the RFC4800 Series of touchless angle sensors measuring angular position up to 360°, turn direction, turns, speed and operational status. The RFC 4800 can provide one or two output channels and can take the place of an optical encoder but with longer life and robustness. The […]
Force sensor offers IO-Link option for faster measurements
To help engineers working in production and assembly lines – or those handling test challenges that require measurements of tensile/compressive forces in confined spaces – HBK has released the U93A, an easy to mount miniature force sensor with the option of digital and analog interfaces. The U93A is available as traditional passive mV/V sensor or […]
New ring force sensors with galvanically isolated input
Inelta Sensorsysteme has added new model variants to its portfolio of ring force sensors. The sensor type, which acts as a measuring washer, is used to detect axially acting forces on screws, shafts or axles and is used, for example, to determine or monitor preload forces on screw connections. The ring force sensors in the […]
New POSITAL TILTIX inclinometers have analog outputs
As part of its ambitious NEXTGEN program, POSITAL has released new members of its TILTIX inclinometer family with analog communications interfaces. The new versions are mechanically and electrically compatible with older models and share the same mounting footprint. POSITAL’s TILTIX inclinometers are used in motion control and safety assurance systems to measure a device’s orientation […]
Solenoid driver module is energy stingy
Magnetic Sensor Systems (MSS) has released the SDM840 Solenoid Driver Module as a complement to their series of solenoids and those of other manufacturers that includes tubular, open frame, low profile, hinged clapper, latching, and rotary solenoids. This compact, quiet 20 kHz pulse width modulated driver module measuring just 1.65 in. x 2.50 in. is […]
New magnetic angle sensors from Novotechnik
Novotechnik, U.S. has released the RFX 6900 Series of touchless rotary sensors. These magnetic sensors are designed for use in mobile, safety-related, and extreme environment applications. The housing of the RFX 6900 Series is anodized aluminum and sealed to IP 67 or IP 69, depending on the version, and it conforms to ISO 13849 for […]
A one-stop-shop for motion control demands in additive manufacturing
Additive manufacturing (AM) is crucial for manufacturers today because it enables the production of highly complex and customized parts that are difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional manufacturing methods. It offers increased design freedom, faster prototyping, reduced material waste, and the ability to create on-demand, decentralized production networks, all of which contribute to enhanced […]
Wiegand energy harvester enables new IoT technologies
UBITO, a member of the FRABA family of technology companies, has announced a development of Wiegand technology as an energy source for smart sensors. After more than two years of effort at FRABA’s R&D center in Aachen (Germany), a research team has demonstrated a prototype of a wireless sensor powered by Wiegand technology that could […]
