‘Colour Sensors’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release SKF units improve continuous-cast milling from SKF UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Two SKF solutions have been developed to deliver benefits to continuous casting mills. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release SICK to exhibit at manufacturing technology event from SICK (UK): "SICK will use the upcoming Manufacturing Technology Scotland event on 11-12 November, which is to be held at the SECC in Glasgow, to further publicise its Industrial Instrumentation Division.".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Kistler Instruments - take a look at Kistler offers sensitive and robust torque sensors which says: "Kistler's piezoelectric torque sensors have a wide measuring range and are adaptable to match most configurations, making them suited to manufacturing-process monitoring. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Wilcoxon Research, Accelerometers obtain hazardous-area certification, as well as 3Dconnexion 3D mice extend power of Catia V6R2010 from 3Dconnexion, and Low-pressure Kistler sensors quadruple sensitivity from Kistler Instruments.
