Temperature profiling inside the mold: RotoPaq for rotomolding applications
F Ultra Wideband
Omni Antenna developed for DAS applications
A
n Ultra Wideband and compact Omni-Directional antenna has been developed. Originally for an airport application, this antenna supports DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems) applications covering PMR, TETRA, Cellular, Wireless LAN and WiFi. Model OA-0.4-6.0V/2028 frequency bandwidth is 380MHz to 6GHz and it has vertical polarisation and -1 to +5dBi gain across the band. The radiation pattern has very low ripple and does not require an additional ground-plane to operate across its full band. Small and light weight, the antenna is 352mm diameter by 182mm and weighs 0.97kg. The protective radome is manufactured from fire retardant material and the unit has been SAR tested.

or optimal temperature control in rotational molding processes, Datapaq now provides the RotoPaq system which can collect data directly from inside the oven, mold surface, and even within the mold. The data logger, thermal barrier, and thermocouples are attached to the rotating mold assembly to record temperature data throughout the continuous heating and cooling cycles. In addition to being stored in the logger, the data can be transmitted in real time using radio telemetry. The temperature profile enables users to control and optimize the process in order to avoid common manufacturing defects such as warping, pinholes/bubbles, discoloration, and uneven impact resistance, thus ensuring both high product quality and efficiency. The RotoPaq system is routinely used to validate new materials and processes or when environmental conditions change.

Variohm’s new low cost linear position sensor is based on sealed membrane potentiometer
Velox Module Shortens Time to Market and Revenue V
ariohm EuroSensor has released a new low-cost range of linear position sensors, combining a sealed membrane potentiometer in a robust support housing that makes installation
straightforward for medium precision measurement from 50 mm to 1 metre. The new IPL series linear sensors are available in nine standard position or displacement measurement ranges with independent linearity to +/- 3% and average repeatability to +/- 0.5 mm. For higher precision use, a membrane potentiometer with independent linearity to 1% is available on request.
Aimed at demanding linear measurement applications across all industries, they are particularly well-matched to door and gate closures, valves and vents, lifting and handling machinery, and other areas where low-cost position verification is essential. The simple design of the IPL can be manually driven with minimal force required, or provide position feedback in combination with electric, pneumatic or hydraulic automated actuators. The field proven IP65 rated membrane potentiometer and the durable anodised aluminium frame and plastic wiper mechanism is capable of operation in harsh environments. The temperature range for the assembly is -40 to +85ºC with humidity at 95% RH. The flexibility built into the range includes standard Crimpflex solder-tab electrical terminations and further connector options on request. Thanks to Variohm’s own in-house design and manufacturing capability, the IPL linear position sensor can be supplied in custom measurement lengths and the mechanical interface can be application adapted for OEM customers. Variohm EuroSensor designs, manufactures and sources a comprehensive range of sensor technologies for linear and rotary position, load, force, vibration and temperature - providing complete pre-sale and post-sale application support for demanding measurement applications throughout industry, agriculture, construction, autosports and research.

msys, a leading developer of reconfigurable MCUs and easy-to-use modules and tools for embedded applications, today announces a new member of its “Simple Network Application Platform - SNAP”, the Velox. According to the 2013 Embedded Market Study from UBM, 57 % of all product design projects are delayed and some even cancelled, a steady trend over the past years. The new module addresses that issue by offering a solution that can save development time and cost. Velox is the most cost efficient module in Imsys’ SNAP family, featuring the newest Imsys processor generation and providing full access to the processor’s features.
I It is ideal for those in need of a ready-made
hardware/software platform for minimizing time-to- revenue for a networked product. The versatile Velox module reduces design time, cost and risk and is suitable when long commercial product lifetime is important.
