Miniature triax
acking a 1000g triaxial capability with integrated signal conditioning into a miniature,
titanium
cube accelerometer weighing less than four grams is no mean feat but that is what Kistler Instruments has achieved with the latest addition to its PiezoStar® family. The new accelerometer has exceptionally low thermal sensitivity shift combined with a flat frequency response across the entire 0.5 to 10,000Hz frequency range to provide versatile, high- accuracy measuring in changing temperatures from - 54°C to 165°C. The Kistler’s PiezoStar® shear crystal sensing element gives very low sensitivity variation over the wide operating temperature range, compared with quartz and ceramic sensing elements. The hermitically sealed, welded titanium, ground isolated, IP68 housing permits operation in harsh, dirty or wet environments.
A TEDS (Transducer
Electronics Data Sheet) option is available to simplify installation and set-up. Mounting by a central mounting hole tapped 6-32 UNC on each of three sides of the cube design gives maximum adapterless mounting flexibility and allows the miniature 4-pin ceramic connector to be positioned throughout 360 degrees for convenient cable orientation.

Fanless low power embedded box PC with Intel Baytrail CPU
available with either the E3826, J1900 or N2930 22nm Intel Atom Baytrail System on Chip dual and quad core processors with up to 4GB of DDR3 1333MHz in a single slot. The device supports Linux and Windows 7 and 8 OS. The highly integrated Baytrail SoC provides a powerful computing engine for applications where high resolution display or image capture is required. It supports VGA or HDMI displays up to 1900 x 1220 @ 60 Hz. The graphics and media engine is based on the Intel Gen7 HD graphic processor, which supports graphics burst, Open GL ES 3.3 and hardware video codec acceleration of multiple media formats. The rugged construction of the aluminium body gives good protection when the unit is embedded in applications such as mobile computing where shock and vibration are likely to be present. The body also acts as an efficient heatsink when the system is used in less mechanically demanding Point of Sale, kiosk, and automation applications. HDD or SSD mass storage can be added in the single 2.5” drive bay. Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, two USB3.0 and two USB2.0 ports and two serial ports are provided. Two mini PCIe expansion slot enable additional functionality such as WiFi to be implemented; alternatively, one of the slots can be specified as an mSATA interface providing an alternative storage device.

HBM equipment provides high precision measurement in Bloodhound development he AMRC Advanced Structural Testing
utilized HBM’s MGCplus for a number of measurement tasks as part of its contribution towards the development of the Bloodhound SSC project. The ASTC is accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) and is the only structural test facility within a UK university to hold ‘in-house methods’ accreditation. This means that it can develop new test procedures to prove components under real-world conditions. The ASTC forms a key part of the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) with Boeing that is a world-class centre for advanced machining and materials research for aerospace and other high-value manufacturing sectors. Bloodhound SSC is a supersonic land vehicle that aims to achieve 1,000 miles per hour (1,609 km/h) to break the existing land speed record world by over 30 per cent.

ix years ago, autoVimation’s success story began with the Gecko series of new protective camera enclosures for industrial image processing. But with cameras becoming increasingly smaller, users have turned to the Salamander enclosure series that features a simpler design. In this light, the introduction of Flir’s new, compact ax5 thermal imaging cameras is a good reason to reintroduce the revised Gecko enclosures with a fresh, green design. autoVimation has developed a special heat guide / quick lock camera mount for the thermal imaging cameras that is compatible with all ax5 focal lengths and prevents shaded edges even with wide- angle lenses. In addition, Gecko enclosures are suitable for Vision Components’ popular VC40XX series of intelligent cameras. The patented heat guide / quick lock mounting system is available for both camera types.

M&S automation order won by KNAPP
he contract to design and install automated material handling systems at Marks & Spencer's national distribution centre in Bradford has been awarded to KNAPP. The DC – which is due to go live in Spring 2016 – will feature a high level of automation for goods-in, decanting, storage, picking and dispatch, with KNAPP's OSR ShuttleTM
T technology
forming the heart of the intralogistics systems. This automated storage and retrieval system, which features transport shuttles on every level of the store, will serve KNAPP's ergonomically designed Pick-it- Easy workstations. The contract also includes the provision of a team of resident KNAPP engineers on site at the DC to ensure system availability through comprehensive preventative maintenance routines and immediate response to any issues.
