GRAS SOUND & VIBRATION TO SHOW WIDE RANGE OF MEASUREMENT MICROPHONES


aerospace and defence testing applications at Sensors & Instrumentation 2018. Amongst the products on display will be the company’s ‘world-first’ 146AE ultra-rugged automotive microphone and compact flush mount turbulence screen microphone kit, as well as its surface and low noise microphones. GRAS UK’s 146AE microphone set is waterproof, able to withstand high temperatures


G


and is shock, dust and oil mist resistant. It offers accurate and reliable operation under the most extreme automotive testing conditions minimising costly re-testing and re- scheduling whilst improving efficiency and data validity. The 146AE is the only automotive microphone that can deliver accurate data in real


life test conditions comprising strong vibrations, drops, extreme temperatures, water and dust. It is particularly ideal for engine compartment measurements, transmissions and exhaust and brake noise tests. Available with a five-year warranty and offering precise data every time, the 146AE


boasts a frequency range and dynamic range from IEC compatible ½” measurement microphones of 3.15Hz – 20kHz, 18dB(A) – 138dB and 50mV/Pa. In addition, GRAS UK’s flush mount turbulence screen microphone kit significantly improves aeroacoustic testing in wind tunnels.

has introduced the non-contact Smart Safety Sensor SRF, to protect those working in Smart Factories from injury. The SRF – an abbreviation of Safety RFID – is an especially compact sensor


which monitors moveable separating protective equipment such as flaps, doors and protection hoods. If, for any reason, these separating safety devices fail to close properly, the


SRF immediately shuts down machines and equipment – or prevents them from starting. In developing this new product, Bernstein has paid particular attention to the


diagnostic system accompanying the sensor which provides a large amount of data, making it available centrally and flexibly as an aid to intelligent production. “This feature is currently the only one on the market,” says Bernstein’s


Managing Director Rob Emms. Diagnostic data is fed into the machine control system via I/O Link or,


alternatively, displayed on a smart phone via NFC technology. In this way 20 different items of diagnostic information can be retrieved and made available for each sensor – also when connected in a series.

SENSOR TECHNOLOGY EXPANDS PRODUCT RANGE S


ensor Technology Ltd will be showing its range of strain, torque and load sensors and readouts.


The WSG series transmitters: Allow any manufacturer’s strain gauge to send readings to Sensor Technology’s range of displays and readouts.


The transmitters are for use with 350 ohm strain gauges and above. Calibration data is set using interface software. The transmission is based on the unrestricted 2.4GHz technology.


LoadSense: Constant load monitoring used to be very difficult, but Sensor Technology has developed the perfect solution, an intelligent load sensor that can easily be integrated with a mobile harbour crane. It is fully automatic so causes no disruption to normal operations.


The digital ORT230/240 optical rotary torque transducers: Sets new performance standards, ideal for applications low torque and/or high bandwidth, providing precise, dynamic measurement of rotary and static torque of less than 100Nm and for bandwidths of up to 50kHz.


Pay as you Sense: Equipment rentals are increasingly helping companies overcome the hurdle of finding capital for development projects.


Potential users can choose to rent the equipment, rather than purchase it. If they decide that they want to hold onto their equipment for longer, Sensor Technology will convert the rental to a sale.

SENSOR CENTRE SPECIALISES IN SENSORS FOR POSITION, COLOUR AND MEASUREMENT


ensor Centre was created at the end of 2012 by Andrew Yorke who was formerly the sales director for Datasensor UK. Andrew has over 20 years of


application experience in the sensor and barcode industry and prides himself in giving the highest levels of customer service. Sensor Centre is the sole UK partner of Italian sensor manufacturer Micro


Detectors which used to be known in the UK as Diell. Micro Detectors manufacture an extensive range of inductive, capacitive, photoelectric and ultrasonic sensors as well as area sensors and safety light curtains. Sensor Centre is also the sole UK partner for specialist German colour and measurement sensor manufacturer Sensor Instruments as well as being the UK distributor for German area light curtain manufacturer DUOmetric. Sensor Centre is a 3 Star Gold partner of Datalogic specialising in the supply


and integration of their range of 1D and 2D fixed position and hand held barcode readers as well as their range of machine vision products. The Sensors and Instrumentation show will be our first exhibition so it would


be great to catch up with customers old and new. Please visit us at stand C20 with your application problems and we will endeavour to solve them for you.
