‘Proximity Switch’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Renishaw to demonstrate products at Westec 2010 from
Renishaw, which we summarised at the time by saying "At Westec 2010, Renishaw will display products that increase machine-tool automation and process control, as well as a wireless device for assessing the performance of machines before metal cutting.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Mtec 2010 to feature Impress's sensor portfolio from
Impress Sensors and Systems: "Impress Sensors and Systems will showcase new pressure, flow and level sensors at Mtec 2010, which will take place 27-28 April.".
In March 2010, we covered the news from Dytran Instruments
- take a look at Dytran vibration meter field tests accelerometers
which says: "Dytran Instruments has released a portable vibration meter, which can be used for field testing accelerometers. ".
Take a look also at the news release from AEA Technology, NCEC develops marine spill simulation software,
as well as Keithley releases product catalogue CD from Keithley Instruments,
and Balluff expands Globalprox proximity-sensor range from Balluff.
