‘Photoelectric Switches’
A Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Micro-Epsilon launches Process Imager from
Micro-Epsilon UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Micro-Epsilon PI (Process Imager) is an inline radiometric thermal imaging device that provides temperature images and profiles of a target area. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Auto-lockdown for smart switches from
Emerson Process Management: "Emerson has added auto-lockdown security capabilities into its DeltaV smart switches to allow a DeltaV user to automatically lock and unlock the port access of all the switches in the network. ".
In November 2008, we covered the news from Warner Electric (Altra Industrial Motion)
- take a look at Warner Electric brakes to the stage
which says: "Warner Electric had the ability to provide a bespoke solution to a brake problem on hoists for stage and theatre applications.".
Take a look also at the news release from Jokab Safety UK, IP69K specification for Eden E safety switches,
as well as Amplified load cells offer added versatility from Megatron Elektronik,
and ESAB launches welding power sources from ESAB.
