‘Ultrasonic Sensors’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
SKF units improve continuous-cast milling from
SKF UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Two SKF solutions have been developed to deliver benefits to continuous casting mills. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release SICK to exhibit at manufacturing technology event from
SICK (UK): "SICK will use the upcoming Manufacturing Technology Scotland event on 11-12 November, which is to be held at the SECC in Glasgow, to further publicise its Industrial Instrumentation Division.".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Kistler Instruments
- take a look at Kistler offers sensitive and robust torque sensors
which says: "Kistler's piezoelectric torque sensors have a wide measuring range and are adaptable to match most configurations, making them suited to manufacturing-process monitoring. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Wilcoxon Research, Accelerometers obtain hazardous-area certification,
as well as Low-pressure Kistler sensors quadruple sensitivity from Kistler Instruments,
and Galil controller aids border patrol surveillance from Galil Motion Control.

Ultrasonic sensors handle changing conditions
The SmartScan range of ultrasonic continuous solid and liquid level measurement instruments is suitable for use in process tanks and storage vessels.
-
Ultrasonic sensors have clear advantages
Because ultrasonic sensors use sound waves to sense the position of the target and are unaffected by the degree of opaqueness of the container they are ideal to detect the clearest of targets.
