We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "IP64",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Photo-electric sensors spot small objects from
Siemens Automation and Drives, which we summarised at the time by saying "Siemens Automation and Drives' proximity sensors can detect objects in a range of sizes, at ranges of up to 30m".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Low-inertia servomotors suit high dynamic motion from
Hayes Control Systems: "AM3500 motors are particularly suitable for highly dynamic applications with high loads, for machine tool axes or gearless applications".
In July 2007, we covered the news from REO (UK)
concerning its Water-cooled REO products
- take a look at Drive systems suit water cooling
which says: "REO is now offering drive system components suitable for water-cooled installation".
Take a look also at the news release from Barber InSys, Palm-sized logger takes four temperatures,
as well as Position sensor is cost-effective package from ASM,
and Speedy sensor spots fast-moving small parts from Contrinex UK.
