‘Fibre Optic Sensors’

A Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Quicksilver releases application note from QuickSilver Controls, which we summarised at the time by saying "Quicksilver's ability to handle large inertial loads (large inertial mismatch) allows the company to direct drive large product reels. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Gentech and Mitsui to supply combined SCR sensors from Gentech International: "Mitsui Mining and Smelting and Gentech International have reached an agreement to supply SCR combined sensors, used in the Adblue tanks of diesel-powered vehicles with SCR emissions systems. ".
 
In November 2008, we covered the news from Festo - take a look at Festo releases fieldbus-controlled valve regulator which says: "Festo has launched a fieldbus-controlled proportional valve regulator that mounts directly on to a valve manifold. ".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Emerson Process Management, Auto-lockdown for smart switches , as well as Datwyler develops modular distribution system from Datwyler (UK), and Inertial offers sensor pin out and demo boards from Inertial Aerosystems UK.
