INTERFACE FORCE MEASUREMENTS ARE PLEASED TO LAUNCH DDM’S INNOVATIVE RANGE
I
nterface Force Measurements are pleased to launch DDM’s innovative range of small form
pressure sensors to the U.K. Automotive Industry for the first time. Widely used by automotive manufacturers and test houses in Germany, DDM’s sensors are designed to offer accurate flow and pressure measurement in applications such as
• Fuel system pressure measurement • Coolant pressure measurement • Turbo charger pressure • Exhaust back pressure
• Brake system fluid pressure • Crankcase pressure • Tank vent pressure • Automatic transmission fluid
DDM’s sensors are designed for both on vehicle and test bench use. All sensors
feature a fully welded stainless-steel construction. Pressure ports and electrical connectors can be user specified to best fit your application. Pressure ranges start at 0.1bar, up to 2,000bar with working temperature ranges from -40c to +150C

DIMETIX LASER DISTANCE SENSORS DELIVER SWISS PRECISION AND RELIABLE RESULTS FOR UNDER £2000
T
he Dimetix D-Series lasers have market leading repeatability and
reliability with a measurement range spanning 0.5m to 500m and maximum outputs rate of 1kHz. They are versatile performers in a wide range of applications where there is a need to measure the distance to objects that are static or moving in the line of sight of the sensor. The sensors have an extensive range
of applications from position control and collision prevention of cranes, non-contact measurement in steel processing, to management of vehicles in freight yards or traffic lanes. The sensors can be factory- fitted by machine builders or easily mounted on buildings and plant. There are five models, which are all 100% tested to choose from to suit your
application and budget with accuracy from just +/-0.5mm (1) and repeatability of +/10.15mm (1). over the entire 500m range.

HIGH PERFORMANCE INCLINOMETER T
he SST20 is a cost effective, high stability inclinometer utilising advanced MEMS sensor technology to ensure
maximum reliability in the harshest environment. The SST20 is also very flexible in the choice of configuration, i.e. measurement range, data output options, temperature compensation, housings and functionality. Typically, ranges from " 5° to " 90° in both single and dual axis versions with data output formats that include, voltage, current (4-20mA), RS232/485, CAN, USB and Wi-Fi. With a range of accessories to match, the SST20 is ideal for applications such as
construction machinery, vehicle monitoring, radar and antenna positioning and solar panel monitoring. KDP will be exhibiting at the Sensors & Instrumentation Live 2019, NEC Birmingham – 25th & 26th September, come and visit us on stand 94.

SMC SUPPORTS A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO INDUSTRY 4.0
W
ith advances in technology, industrial
manufacturing is moving ahead at breakneck speed. Machines are becoming more efficient due to cutting edge developments in automation that bring improved performance and versatility. This - combined with the development of intelligent robots - means that smart machines are no longer a distant vision in the future. Today, these advances
have been grouped together and are now commonly referred to as Industry 4.0 – which some people consider as being the next industrial revolution. According to Bob Hitner,
Marketing Manager for SMC Pneumatics (UK) Ltd, this focus on Industry 4.0 is often confusing for many customers. “Most people can recognise the benefits of adopting an Industry 4.0 approach but “where do I start” is often their first question”. Some people are also getting increasingly frustrated with all the jargon and Industry
4.0 terminology – which seems to growing at an alarming rate. For example, are the “Internet of Things” (IoT) and “Connected Enterprise” the same as Industry 4.0? What’s considered big data and what’s not? What’s “Digital Production” and the “Individualisation of Products”? This is where SMC can help you. “We see Industry 4.0 as being a natural progression towards smarter manufacturing,
with smart machines incorporating smart components operating in smart factories. By taking this approach we help our customers in practical ways, to take a few small steps, to start them on their Industry 4.0 journey”. “In many cases the starting point is by adopting advanced sensors to measure and
monitor pressure or flow. By logging this performance data you can quickly detect any irregularities in your production process. This data can help you introduce preventative maintenance to minimise unplanned stoppages” concluded Hitner.
SMC advanced sensors with easy to read dual colour displays, with analogue and digital outputs back to your control system, give your production teams advance notice of issues that could affect your production processes.
SMC is committed to meeting the needs of its customers. With a standard product range exceeding 12,000 items SMC launches around 40 new products each year.
