Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry’s leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components™, is now stocking the T6743-40K-E Automotive CO2 Sensor from Amphenol Advanced Sensors. The T6743-40K-E is a nondispersive infrared (NDIR) CO2 sensor that implements a single-channel diffusion sampling method for automotive heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) applications, …

In 1963, the electronics division of the Leuze Group came into being. In 2023, the international sensor expert is celebrating its 60th anniversary. Today, over 1,600 Sensor People worldwide create the innovations of tomorrow: Sensor and safety solutions in automation technology. In 1963, who would have thought that the fragile …

Sensors in the new SD range from ifm electronic have been developed specifically to allow users to accurately monitor the usage of compressed air and other industrial gases. This makes them an ideal choice for use in bottling and packaging machines in the food industry, and in welding, cutting, soldering …

Oil is the lifeblood of many industrial plants and machines. It is used for cooling, lubrication, insulation, and power transmission. To operate a gearbox, a transformer, or an industrial plant safely and stable over a long period of time, it is often necessary to monitor the condition of the lubricants …

Sewtec Automation, a market leader in bespoke automation for a wide range of industries, has developed an advanced inspection machine for PET bottles that relies on the high performance of Keyence camera sensors to deliver accurate and repeatable results in short cycle times. Sewtec Automation invents, designs, manufactures, installs and …

The robust and high sensing performance of Contrinex’s Ultrasonic sensors, available from PLUS Automation, enables them to be relied upon to confirm or measure levels. In this application, rather than looking at a silo or tank, we look at a tote bin, but away from the normal manufacturing environment, we …

ifm electronic has launched a new generation of OGD optical distance sensors which reliably measure distances up to 2 m with an accuracy of one millimetre, even with fast-moving, reflective, multicoloured and other challenging targets. Like the existing very successful family of OGD sensors, the new models use PMD time-of-flight …

At the end of May 2023, the students of the ThaiGerRacing team drove away from all the others: During the ShellEco-marathon in Nogaro/France, they won the European champion title in the hydrogen racing league – for the fifth time in a row. A success the team can be particularly proud …

The integration of interchangeable end-of-arm tooling for robots increases their flexibility and capability but also adds complexity. In some applications or industries, there can be a need to verify, plus perhaps track and record which tools have been used. In an aerospace application, for example, recording which end tools were …

Scientists may have finally found a solution to effectively harvesting energy from humans into electrical energy. Researchers from the Institute of Thin Films, Sensors and Imaging (ITFSI) from the University of the West of Scotland (UWS) explored the use of the 3D graphene foam material Gii™ by Integrated Graphene as an active layer in an …
