Fluke® Process Instruments introduces SpotScan™ Line Scanning accessory for Spot Pyrometers
Rutronik becomes Global Distributor for Sensirion
R
utronik Elektronische Bauelemente GmbH will be serving as a global distributor for Sensirion. In
doing so, Rutronik is further developing its extensive sensor portfolio and supporting Sensirion in its global sales and support operations for high-quality sensors and sensor solutions. The global franchise agreement includes the Sensirion humidity and temperature sensors, differential pressure sensors and mass flow meters. "With Rutronik, we offer our customers the best service while also meeting the growing requirements of forward-looking markets for increased efficiency and performance," explained Christian Constantin, Distribution Channel Manager at Sensirion. The manufacturer's sensors are based on CMOSens(r) Technology, which enables the fusion of the sensor element and analog and digital analysis technology in a single CMOS silicon chip. The result is a sensor chip that enables cost-effective, high-precision and reliable detection of physical parameters.

luke® Process Instruments has introduced the SpotScan™ line scanning accessory for its family of best-in- class spot pyrometers. Compatible with the Endurance™, Marathon, and Modline® 5 and Modline 7 Series of infrared (IR) noncontact temperature measurement sensors,
F the accessory features an
innovative scanning mechanism that enables users to gather temperature data over a larger area on the target. The SpotScan line scanning accessory helps optimize the performance of IR thermometers in applications ranging from metals processing and induction heating, to carbon graphite production. It is especially well-suited for web and conveyor hot spot or cold spot monitoring. With the SpotScan accessory, industrial facilities can continue to utilize the advanced optics of their Fluke Process Instruments IR temperature sensors to achieve small spot sizes on the measurement target, but also “spot sweep” over the target to see a larger area—thus obtaining additional information on critical production processes. Users can see a hot spot over a larger area and continuously monitor the analog output for temperature variations that exceed defined limits. The SpotScan accessory allows plant operators to employ signal conditioning sensor capabilities to obtain temperature information in a variety of different ways. For example, use of the “peak picker” function helps identify hot spots over a larger area. The averaging/response time functions provide average temperature over an extended range. In either case, operators benefit from an expanded view and increased awareness of process conditions. The SpotScan accessory is available with options for sighting the IR instrument and periodically checking sighting accuracy. Onboard controls make it easy to manipulate the end or center positions of the scan, as well as its frequency. For a sensor equipped with a laser, the user can simply turn the unit on to see exactly where the sensor is aimed. For units equipped with through-the-lens sighting, scanning at the end points can be stopped to make necessary aiming adjustments. The SpotScan line scanning accessory utilizes the existing sensor DC power supply. Its durable IP65 enclosure is designed to withstand ambient temperatures up to 60°C (140ºF), and an air purge option is available for use in dusty or dirty environments.

PCB® Introduces Water and Dust Resistant Test and Measurement Microphone PCB®
has released a new 1/2" microphone and preamplifier system, the
model 130A24. This array microphone has been specifically designed for use in applications where moisture, oil splash and contamination are a concern. Typical applications include brake and tyre noise, industrial machinery and environmental noise, leak detection and general purpose acoustic testing. The phase characteristics of this microphone are tailored for noise source location applications such as holography, beamforming, acoustic cameras and sound pressure mapping. Model 130A24 has a proprietary, replaceable water and dust resistant
cover which is an acoustically transparent protective cover and provides a less obtrusive alternative to windscreens and more consistent response than rubber covers.
Although the 130A24 is optimised for flat response in a free-field, its small size also provides an excellent response in pressure and diffuse field applications.
