Wireless Sensor Platform
December 1, 2004 7:06 am | Millennial Net, Inc. | Product Releases | CommentsThe iB-5324 wireless sensor networking platform allows instrumentation and sensing devices such as gauges, sensors, and actuators to connect and communicate with each other over self-organizing, self-healing networks.
Vision Sensors
December 1, 2004 7:06 am | Banner Engineering Corp. | Product Releases | CommentsPresencePLUS GEO vision sensors are designed to inspect for correct features regardless of product orientation or position in the sensor's field of view — eliminating expensive and complex mechanical fixturing.
Machine Vision Camera
December 1, 2004 7:06 am | Product Releases | CommentsThe CV-022 is an ultra small digital camera that can be used in conjunction with the CV-2100 machine vision system. It is small enough to be installed almost anywhere, even in spaces typically reserved for photoelectric or fiber sensors.
Leak Test System
December 1, 2004 7:06 am | Cincinnati Test Systems, Inc. | Product Releases | CommentsThe Falcon Leak Test System simultaneously determines leak location and total leak rate, providing real-time process control. It bridges the gap between traditional pressure decay technology and helium vacuum mass spectrometry.
Linear Position Sensor
December 1, 2004 7:06 am | Product Releases | CommentsThe Temposonics G-Series magnetostrictive linear position sensor provides more features than previous Temposonics sensors and is compatible with existing MTS L-Series and Tempo II Series sensors.
Hybrid Capacitor
December 1, 2004 7:06 am | Evans Findings Co. | Product Releases | CommentsThis tantalum button cell hybrid capacitor is high voltage and fits a standard 2325 coin cell battery holder. Rated 1800µF at 50 V, it has more than 10 times the energy density of similar aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Small, lightweight, and compact, it fits easily, using automated assembly.
Emitter/phototransistor
December 1, 2004 7:06 am | Optek Technology | Product Releases | CommentsThe OPB100 optical emitter/phototransistor pair allows designers to specify parts for variable-distance operation at the cost of a standard sensor. They provide sensing up to 1 m and use standard plastic packaging for easy integration into equipment.
High-surge Resistors
December 1, 2004 7:06 am | Irc | Product Releases | CommentsThese high-surge film surface-mount resistors are designed to provide excellent heat dissipation and much greater surge/pulse capability than comparably rated flat chips.
Multi-anode Capacitors
December 1, 2004 7:06 am | Avx Corporation | Product Releases | CommentsThe OxiCap Series of niobium oxide multi-anode capacitors feature a "safe" non-burning high-resistance failure mode and are designed to provide high capacitance and ultra-low ESR, filling the performance gap between multilayer ceramic capacitors and aluminum electrolytics.
Flexible Grip Material
December 1, 2004 7:06 am | Rogers Corp. | Product Releases | Commentsegrips technology is a thin silicone-based product that protects mobile phones, PDAs, and other handheld devices from being dropped and broken by giving users a slip-free grip.
Safe-edge Wire Belting
December 1, 2004 7:06 am | Wire Belt Company Of America | Product Releases | CommentsC-CureEdge belting features closed-loop ends designed to greatly reduce the risk of employee accidents, including cuts and scrapes. Even in the event of improper installation, the belt will continue to operate safely, even if running backwards, and will not inflict injury to the operator.
Panel Fasteners (9385)
December 1, 2004 7:06 am | Pennengineering | Product Releases | CommentsReelFast SMT surface mount panel fasteners are designed and packaged for mounting to PC boards using standard automated surface mount techniques.
Pump Controller
December 1, 2004 7:06 am | Symcom Inc | Product Releases | CommentsThe IS ISS-105 Super Cell is a five-channel, intrinsically safe, multiple pump system controller. It can be configured for a variety of applications including alternating or non-alternating duplex, duplex separate pump stop, triplex, and quadplex applications.
High-temperature Wheel
December 1, 2004 7:06 am | Colson Caster Corp. | Product Releases | CommentsThe ThermoTech wheel can operate in temperatures higher than 500°F, yet has a soft tread. It uses a corrosion-resistant aluminum core with a 70 Shore A rubber tread to provide a silent and smooth operation.
Robotic Cable Carrier
December 1, 2004 7:06 am | Igus Inc. | Product Releases | CommentsTriflexR flexible Energy Chain is a cable carrier designed for robotic applications requiring 3D and multi-axis freedom of movement. It can move multi-dimensionally on the x, y, and z axes and can twist up to 380 degrees per yard, enabling easy movement around complex configurations.
