Sensors for pulp and paper applications April 2023, Gail Norton Instrumentation Some of the toughest challenges for sensors are found in the pulp and paper industry. Here, high temperatures and a contaminated environment make it difficult for optical sensors to operate accurately ...
Optical label slot sensor for labels March 2023, Turck Banner Southern Africa When automated labelling is part of industrialised production, it is crucial to incorporate sensors that work quickly, and detecting adhesive product labels at high speed is critical. The solution from Turck Banner is the cost-effective SLE3 optical label sensor, which is placed early in the labelling process, at the point where labels are pulled from the roll.
Maximum sensing range with minimum protrusion March 2023, ifm - South Africa Whether in factory automation, applications with coolants and lubricants, or in mobile applications, ifm’s inductive sensors are convincing due to their universal and permanent usability combined with high performance, temperature stability and protection rating.
Detecting transparent labels at high speed February 2023, Turck Banner Southern Africa When a line needs to change over to a new product, automated labelling systems must be able to quickly switch from recognising opaque labels to clear labels. The solution from Turck Banner is the SLU4 ultrasonic sensor, which allows the labels to run through the sensor at high speed before being placed on the bottles.
Pressure transmitters for hygienic applications February 2023, ifm - South Africa The new PM type pressure transmitter from ifm South Africa has a total accuracy of 0,2 %. Furthermore, temperature compensation with fast temperature changes, for example in CIP/SIP processes, has been improved considerably. The sensor is therefore suitable for all common food applications.
EMI-immune inductive sensors January 2023, ifm - South Africa Inductive Kplus sensors from ifm electronic are ideally suited for applications where conventional sensors show a considerably reduced sensing range. They are insensitive to magnetic fields and can, for ...
