Show goers can win infra-red device
Visitors to this year's MTec sensors, measurement and instrumentation exhibition at Birmingham's NEC in February can win hand-held, infra-red temperature measurement device each day.
Micro-Epsilon is offering visitors to its stand (NEC, Hall 11, stand 40) at this year's MTec sensors, measurement and instrumentation exhibition (15th to 16th February 2006) a chance to win its latest hand-held, infra-red temperature measurement device, Optris Lasersight One device will be given away free on each day of the show, complete with tripod mounting, padded soft pouch, carrying case and software
The unit normally sells for £475.
To be in with a chance to win a device, visitors should drop in on Micro-Epsilon's stand and hand in their business card or contact details.
The lucky winner will be picked at random from a hat at the end of each day.
The Optris Lasersight lets engineers measure the surface temperature of objects down to 1mm in size.
The unit is accurate to +/-0.75% and so provides plant engineers, maintenance technicians and field and service engineers with a lower cost alternative to using thermal cameras.
The device is suitable for preventive maintenance applications, quality management, research and development and electronic design.
Optical resolution is 75:1, achieved by laser sighting using narrow beam aiming.
The laser crosshairs sighting system supports precise temperature measurements at any distance.
The measuring range of the device is from -35 to +900C.
The unit is no larger or heavier than a standard TV remote control device, and so fits into an engineer's pocket.
Other sensors and measurement systems from Micro-Epsilon will also be on show at MTec, including: eddy current sensors; optical and laser sensors; capacitive; linear inductive; wire sensors; 2D and 3D profile scanners; laser micrometers; and infra-red cameras.
Additionally, in-line temperature measurement device, the Optris CT temperature sensor, is for use in automation, mechanical systems, control engineering and plant construction environments, and can measure temperatures from -40 to +900C, with a temperature resolution of 0.1C within 160ms.
The unit has an optical resolution of 2:1, 15:1 and 20:1 as standard.
The unit can withstand ambient temperatures up to 180C without cooling.
Other products on show will include the firm's optoelectronic displacement measurement sensor, the OptoNCDT 1700, which is self-contained and has no external electronics.
With no separate controller to mount, machine builders and systems integrators can reduce the costs associated with wiring the sensors and free up space in their control cabinets.
The sensor has an integral controller that automatically compensates in real time for difficult-to-measure surfaces such as shiny metal, gloss paint finishes and transparent surfaces, letting industrial automation and OEMs more accurately measure and monitor object parameters, including thickness, roundness, position, deflection, tilt, displacement and vibration.
The sensor can be used for on and off-line quality inspection tasks, dynamic part profiling and part recognition.
The company has developed customised sensor coils for Moog hydraulic valves using its high volume manufacturing division in the Czech Republic.
This facility has the capacity to manufacture up to one million sensors per year, using fully automated winding, production and assembly techniques. Request free introductory details about products from Micro-Epsilon UK ...
