‘Sensing Technology’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Micro stepper motors bring pictures into focus from
EMS, which we summarised at the time by saying "Electro Mechanical Systems has supplied Precistep micro-stepper motors to Life Optics to allow it to develop a compact, reliable and light-weight head-mounted microscope.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Insertion probes monitor bioproduction process from
Stratophase: "Stratophase has collaborated with the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) to develop an insertion probe variant of its Spectrosens system. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Q-Sys
- take a look at Q-Sys provides custom-designed motion systems
which says: "Q-Sys offers a complete design-and-build service for all types of precision motion and positioning systems. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Hamamatsu Photonics , CMOS digital photo IC for colour sensing,
as well as Process technology installed at biodiesel refinery from Flow Line Options,
and Actuator system for sampling applications from Heason Technology.
