Colour sensor opens new opportunities in industrial monitoring
Omron Electronic Components Europe has announced the introduction of its B5WC Colour Sensor, which enables monitoring of equipment, plant, and industrial processes through detection of small colour changes. Specific applications are being developed through co-creation with industry partners. The colour sensor uses a white LED to emit light and receive reflected light according to the colour of detected objects. The colour sensor separates received reflected light into red, green, and blue, then outputs RGB data as voltage values using the I2C interface.
Applications range from monitoring of lubricant deterioration in robot arms and elevators, through drinks dispensers, to object detection on production lines. Omron’s new B5WC promises an innovative solution to these issues. For example, the colour sensor monitors oil deterioration in hydraulic equipment used in industrial machinery - in real time using colours to monitor the condition of the oil. Providing maintenance at optimal timing is vital for manufacturing plants. Minimal production losses within manufacturing sites contribute to carbon neutrality. Development of sensing technology and optical design technology enables simpler integration into the equipment thanks to compact size, just W:40mm x D:8.4mm x H:15.9mm. Plus, integrating I2C communications into the sensor streamlines embedding in the equipment. The new sensor helps customers to remotely monitor equipment deterioration in real-time, leading to the visualization of the equipment and the reduction of person-hours required for inspection and maintenance. It offers solutions to the problems faced by the industrial machinery and hydraulic equipment industries through highly efficient and systematic maintenance.

Comprehensive range of miniature and sub miniature ABS plastic enclosures
Terrington Components stock a vast selection of British manufactured ABS enclosures for a multitude of specialised industries and applications. They are ideal for packaging of small electronic systems, miniature PCB’s and devices such as miniature IoT sensory devices. We have developed our own range of screw lid, flanged mounted and push together screwless style
enclosures and potting boxes since the early 1980’s and originally worked and developed specific sized enclosures on several projects for Maplin Electronics group. Terrington Components concentrate on the miniature and sub-miniature sizes of the general plastic enclosure market with our screw lid range available in standard, deep, long and square combinations. Most sizes are available in various popular colours and our range of inhouse processes from CNC machining through to engraving help to remove the inconvenience of either sub-contracting out or having to produce the finished enclosure in-house.

OKW’s Smart New MINI-DATA-BOX For Miniaturized Go- Anywhere Electronic Devices
OKW’s innovative and compact new MINI-DATA-BOX is ideal for miniaturized applications including IoT/ IIoT, automation, security and surveillance technology, environmental monitoring, measurement and control, smart logistics, peripherals, interfaces and ICT. Its small size also makes it suitable for wearable electronics.
MINI-DATA-BOX can be specified in two shapes: Square and Edge (rectangular), either with or without flanges for screws and cable ties, enabling fast mounting to walls, ceilings, rails and masts.
Each enclosure offers plenty of flat surfaces for interfaces. The lids have distinctive bevelled corners – a ‘diamond cut’ design which reduces weight and further enhances the housings’ stylish, modern aesthetics.
The tough design is assembled with tamperproof Torx screws and can be sealed up to IP 65 with the optional seal. Fixing supports are supplied in the top and base for PCBs and components.
MINI-DATA-BOX can be specified in 32 different models with sizes from 40 x 40 x 15 mm to 50 x 70 x
20 mm. They are moulded from UV-stable and flame-resistant ASA+PC-FR (UL 94 V-0) in traffic white or anthracite grey.
