LEVEL DETECTOR IN ALL POSITIONS

LNM - Microwave Level Switch

KOBOLD LNM microwave level switch is used for detecting levels of fill. The microwave field penetrates several millimeters into the medium. Foam, condensate or remains of the transported medium that have stuck on to the tank are not detected.

Magnetic flowmeters meet individual measuring challenges

MIS, MIK, MIM - Mag Flowmeters

Need to fill a tank and still measure the level accurately?

Senix ToughSonic Ultrasonic Transmitters perform Distance and Level Measurements with “non-contact” technology, requiring a minimum working distance to the liquid. Elevating the sensor has been one solution, but now there is a better way...

SensorTech Hydrogen car world record

Hydrogen car drives for an efficiency world record

A team of Dutch engineers competing to develop the world’s most efficient hydrogen-fuelled car has used a British torque sensor to determine that their next-generation vehicle needs a custom-designed and built hub motor.

Electronic pressure gauges for areas subject to explosion hazards (EX areas)

Keller’s range of no less than five intrinsically safe electronic pressure gauges for use in areas subject to gas explosion risks. The type approvals are com­pliant with the ATEX Explosion Protection Directive regarding ex­plosive gases.

Electronic engineers help wine growers to vintage success

Behind the rise and rise of English wine, British engineers and technologists are busy developing new systems and aids for the vine growing industry.

Ultrasonic sensors in agricultural automation

Back in the 1980’s, brothers Mike, Gregg, and Don Tvetene were working at their family-owned Tvetene Turf Farms in Billings, Montana, USA. The business was faced with a critical labour shortage at the same time that it was experiencing huge demand for their turf. Out of necessity, the brothers conceived of an automatic turf harvester that could cut and stack sod using just one operator. Their biggest motivator, recalls Gregg, was the years of hard work they had put in stacking turf by hand on the family farm.

Torquing about advanced pump controller

Factory automation continues to develop year on year and pumps are increasingly required to supply real-time operating data to control networks so that their performance can be monitored and adjusted to meet constantly changing production requirements

How are infrared cameras calibrated, and how does the ambient temperature affect readings?
