New avalanche photodiodes offer high sensitivities for red and green light
distance sensor with SSI interface
FLS-C laser
he FLS-C laser distance sensor measures absolute distances up to 500 m contact-free and with a unique accuracy of ±1 mm. The repeat accuracy is ±0.3 mm. Measurement values are updated at a frequency of up to 200 Hz. The measurement values are output via an SSI interface (Synchronous Serial Interface) which is fitted as standard. This ensures uncomplicated data exchange between the FLS-C transducer and a control system. As a result, the FLS-C laser distance sensor can be connected directly to a drive controller or
T a remote I/O SSI sensor interface from any
manufacturer. The area of application of the FLS-C laser distance sensor is very diverse. For instance, the FLS-C laser distance sensor is a reliable actual value encoder in small parts or pallet warehouses. In crane systems, the FLS-C laser distance sensor is used for positioning as well as ensuring controlled synchronization. In addition, the FLS-C laser distance sensor
is successfully implemented to

range. The APDs feature a flat gain curve where the internal amplification rises slowly with the applied reverse bias voltage. Therefore, the Series 8r allows for easy and accurate adjustments of high gain factors. The new photodiodes are ideal for applications which demand fast rise times and low capacitance. The Series 8r provides APD chips with active areas of different sizes. The devices are available in leadless ceramic-carrier SMD packages or hermetically sealed TO housings. The very flat SMD packages can be equipped with different band-pass filters on request. Further, First Sensor offers custom avalanche photodiodes which can be adapted to specific customer requirements with respect to sensitivity, gain, speed or capacitance.

hile NIR is widely used for measuring products transported on open conveyor belts, NDC Infrared Engineering’s improved PowderVision sampling system allows moisture and other constituents to be measured in powders, granules and flakes flowing in enclosed ducts or gravity fed conveying systems. Designed to work with an NDC 710e NIR Moisture or Multi-component Gauge, PowderVision collects samples every few seconds, with measurement values output via digital or analogue connectivity to a PLC or SCADA system for process control. Making continual on- line moisture measurements eliminates the need to send samples away for laboratory measurement and allows drying processes to be controlled automatically, helping users to achieve consistent product quality, as well as creating oppotortunity for increased product yield and reduced fossil fuel consumption through process optimization. Applications which can benefit from PowderVision include dairy powder manufacture, coffee powders,

Panel PC ready to run with Windows 7 Embedded preloaded
he new Afolux AFL-08A-N26 Panel PC from The BVM Group features an 8.4 inch resistive touchscreen and is available with Windows 7 Embedded (WES7) pre-installed for out of the box operation. It is based on a 32nm Intel Atom dual core 2600 1.6GHZ processor with up to 2GB of 800 MHz DDR3 SDRAM running under the NM10 chipset. The Intel GMA 3600 graphics controller supports SVGA 800x 600 high performance video playback and two speakers are built-in. The IP64 sealed bezel allows use in dusty environments when fitted into a control panel. The bezel is a mere 7mm thick and with an overall depth of 41mm, the compact device requires very little space, fitting into a cut-out measuring 223 x 175mm. Panel mounting or wall mount kits
T facilitate easy installation. Fanless cereals, flours and meals,
sugar and ingredient powders, as well as a wide range of industrial powders, including chemicals, minerals, detergents and ceramics. PowderVision consists of a tube-mounted sampling cup made from 316 stainless steel which slides into a collar that is permanently welded into the appropriate duct in the process.
