"Measurement Sensors"...

We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Measurement Sensors", 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 Coating insulates probe rods from Victrex, which we summarised at the time by saying "Sontec's Vicote-coated sensor probe rod rotates inside an isolating body made from Victrex Peek and is electrically isolated from the container wall as well as from its own process attachment". A few weeks before, we featured the news release Catalogue covers varied instruments from Roxspur Measurement and Control: "The Flowbits catalogue presents the company's Platon ranges in detail, with accessories like spare tubes, fine control valves and electronic alarms".
 
In May 2007, we covered the news from Sharp Microelectronics Europe concerning its GP2Y0D805Z0F and GP2Y0D810Z0F distance sensors - take a look at Distance measurement sensors run on battery which says: "The integration of sensor and detector in one unit eliminates component drift caused by temperature changes and ageing".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Omron Electronics, Nuremburg show sees new sensors, as well as Sensors fit into tight spaces from Micro-Epsilon UK, and Laser-based sensors keep rails on the level from Micro-Epsilon UK.
