‘Measurement Sensor’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release SDI torque pickup has internal digital data link from Sensor Developments, which we summarised at the time by saying "SDI's model 01424 can be utilised with a variety of instrumentation systems to measure rotating torque, including the 90386 USB Sensor Link. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release SKF units improve continuous-cast milling from SKF UK: "Two SKF solutions have been developed to deliver benefits to continuous casting mills. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from HEM Data Corp - take a look at Dawn Mini Logger enables in-vehicle diagnostics which says: "HEM Data has introduced the Dawn Mini Logger, which fits within the mating OBD (J1962) connector under the dashboard for in-vehicle diagnostics. ".

Take a look also at the news release from SICK (UK), SICK to exhibit at manufacturing technology event, as well as Kistler offers sensitive and robust torque sensors from Kistler Instruments, and Accelerometers obtain hazardous-area certification from Wilcoxon Research.
