SENSORS & SENSING SYSTEMS SHOWCASE
UA30 with
Easy-Teach and 6 meter Long
Sensing Distances
arlo Gavazzi have launched the new 6 metre long range ultrasonic sensor UA30CAD60 to its extensive product portfolio offering long operating life, optimum precision and reliability.
C Featuring a
6 metre long sensing distance, these sensors are available in either a plug or cable M30 cylindrical housing with Ø39mm sensing head.
offer’s excellent contactless position and distance measurement detecting any target regardless of its colour,
transparency or surface whilst the digital
filtering makes the sensor immune to most electromagnetic interferences. Digital outputs can be selected in standard output mode with two set points or adjustable hysteresis mode with minimum of 2% and the accuracy is 1%. Analogue output is either 0-10V DC or 4-20mA with either a positive or negative slope while the digital output being NPN or PNP/NO or NC.
Reliable detection and an easy
teach-in function with two simple clicks of the teach-in button whilst the reduced housing length makes it an ideal choice for distance, diameter and level measurement or loop control.

encoders which use a unique inductive technology to enable a low height, large bore, bearingless sensor.

products are popular with equipment manufacturers and system integrators because high precision is achievable without fine installation tolerances and the need for environmental protection is minimal because the sensors are unaffected by most foreign matter. As well as the existing range of absolute digital outputs, the expanded product range now includes A/B pulse outputs; electrically duplex formats; resolution choices from 1k to 4M counts per rev and analogue voltage outputs for all sizes from 25 to 200mm bore.
There is also an ‘extended range’ of products aimed at the aerospace and
defence sectors offering features such as extended burn-in testing, conductive surface finishes, -60 Celsius operating temperature and leaded solder. Darran Kreit, Zettlex’s Technical Director comments “During 2013, we exported IncOders to 30 countries and demand continues to increase. We are expanding our production capacity in the UK and we have a number of new innovations in the pipeline which we will announce later in 2014.”

Strain sensors monitor welding of “difficult” materials
W
orld leading manufacturer of resistance welding technology, Sciaky Electric Welding Machines Ltd, is using Kistler piezoelectric strain sensors to meet the demands of the aerospace industry for the precise monitoring of the welding process. The Kistler strain sensors are easier to
fit, simpler to replace, more reliable and longer lasting than the load cells previously used. With experience spread over 80 years and an impressive worldwide customer list, which includes most of the leading automobile and aerospace companies, Slough-based Sciaky has led the way in the development of resistance welding, especially of “difficult” materials. In particular, aerospace applications, where very clean aluminium and titanium are welded, demand reliable monitoring of the welding process. A critical parameter is the force exerted by the welding electrodes, which was previously measured by a load cell installed inside the ram connecting the weld cylinder to the electrode control mechanism. This required special machining and significant dismantling when replacement was needed. By contrast, the Kistler piezoelectric strain sensor, mounted externally on the main structure of the machine, requires only simple machining to provide a flat seating and a single tapped hole for mounting the sensor.
