Researchers from the Institute of Metal Research (IMR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed an innovative ...

When reviewing new sensor technology used in the discrete manufacturing industries, we wondered if end users were simply replacing older technologies or strategically using new sensors to gather more ...

Sensor-arm extensometers are used for performing compression, tensile, cyclic, and flexure tests. It is feasible to infinitely adjust the gage length to be suitable to the specimen to be tested.

With the Speetec, Sick is expanding its product range for speed and length measurement of objects moving in a linear path to include technology that measures directly on the material surface. The ...

Of course, many different types of distance measuring sensors exist but not all sensors are the same. Each sensor has its own advantages and disadvantages. At its most basic level, a distance ...

When testing cells, temperature can influence many of the cell properties. Therefore, when connecting a cell to a piece of cell test equipment, along with connecting voltage sense leads and ...

Highly accurate pressure sensors with long-term stability are necessary for fuel efficiency and reduction of harmful emissions. Increasingly demanding requirements of piezoresistive sensors include ...

Measuring torque in real time has stymied engineers for years. Strain gages provide a partial solution, but they are too delicate for hostile environments. A new approach, Embedded Magnetic Domain ...

Some of the applications mentioned here require a room that maintains a higher or lower pressure compared to the surrounding ambient environment. If the isolated room has greater air pressure, it is ...

Industries and R&D sites depend on sensors to measure, monitor and analyze vibrations. Unfortunately, the best ways to get accurate and repeatable vibration data are not clear to many engineers; they ...
