PCB Piezotronics adds Swiveler® accelerometer to five day delivery programme


P


CB Piezotronics has added its 607A11 Swiveler® ICP® industrial accelerometer to their five day delivery programme. The lower cost Swiveler® is designed to install conveniently into tight spaces with its unique 360° swivel mount and 14mm diameter footprint, ATEX options are available for use in hazardous area applications.


Offering the


benefit of shear mode construction that minimises base bending and ambient temperature transient effects and a laser-welded hermetically sealed design with stainless steel construction it is ideal for use in dirty,


oily and submerged applications. PCB


Piezotronics is a world leader in the manufacture of piezoelectric sensors, accelerometers and associated electronics for the measurement of dynamic pressure, force and vibration. PCB Piezotronics offers all customers 24-hour emergency telephone support.

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. Power is supplied from an external 9 – 36 VDC supply.

Linear measurement over long sensing distances


S 10.


ensors UK has expanded its wide range of laser distance sensors with the addition of the FLS-C-


The FLS-C laser distance sensor measures absolute distances up to 500m, contact free, with an accuracy of ±1mm. The repeat accuracy is ±0.3mm with measurement values being updated at a frequency of up to 200Hz. The FLS-C units offer accuracy up to ±1mm independent of measuring ranges and gives either a wide range of output options such as a programmable 4~20mA or RS232C output and SSI as standard. There are even three digital outputs, two of which can be programmed as relay alarms.


Long distance laser


sensors are suitable for both dynamic and static applications. They can be used to measure distance, level and position, and to detect motion. Pairs of sensors can be mounted to measure thickness, length and diameter.


Highly cost-effective, distance sensors are easy to set up and install.
