The new optris CTratio allows for reliable temperature measurements from 250 °C to 3000 °C.

SIKO SGH-Series of Wire-Actuated Encoders (String-Pots) for Hydraulic and Telescopic Cylinders:

The SGH wire-actuated encoders measure the absolute, direct cylinder stroke up to 5 meter in the hydraulic cylinder and guarantees impressive efficiency, flexibility, and robustness.

Key benefits
■■ Absolute measurement of the cylinder position and speed
■■ Measuring lengths: SGH10 = 0-1m, SGH25 = 0-2,5 m, SGH50 = 0-5 m
■■ Direct, easy and cheap integration into the cylinder
■■ No piston drilling necessary
■■ Can also be used in telescopic cylinders
■■ Protection category IP69K due to the innovative connector system
■■ High electro-magnetic compatibility
■■ High shock and vibration resistance
■■ Teach-in function
■■ Available as redundant versions
■■ Available as ANALOG, CANopen, SAEJ1939, CANopen Safety and Functional Safety PLd versions

Introduction of the new infrared thermometer optris CS LT. Non-contact temperature measurement e.g., for industry and R&D.

Learn how to install an optris Xi 80 camera in an Ethernet network with PoE (Power over Ethernet). In this video four cameras are used with four different instances. The imagers are connected to a managed Ethernet PoE switch and from there to a PC running the optris PIX Connect software.

Optris' IR cameras an be used as line scan cameras, This video shows how to setup the line scan function in the optris PIX Connect software

Viral epidemics like SARS, MERS, swine flu, or the current coronavirus / COVID-19 created a worldwide demand for infrared cameras able to screen for a fever condition in humans. Optris off rs an excellent solution for this.
As employees return to work now after virus-related shelter-in-place regulations are lifted, it is critical for companies to ensure the health of this returning workforce is not compromised by workers who may contract a virus outside the facility.
The Fever screening system can be used in different variants and application areas - so individual scans of single persons or crowd-based screening of larger groups of people can be implemented.

In this video, Maik, from Optris, demonstrates the capabilities of our new high-speed pyrometer, Optris CT 4ML.

The CT 4ML has been especially designed for measuring temperatures of fast-moving objects. The ultra-fast exposure time of just 90 µs makes it the ideal pyrometer for fast high-volume production and packaging processes (eg. PET preform temperature monitoring) and high-speed traffic safety applications, like hot axle box detection on railways.

Buy a new machine or retrofit your old one?

SIKO optimises production machines with plug and play retrofit solutions. Electronic hand controlled position indicators, fully automated spindle drives and SIKO HMI controll units make your existing machine more reliable, efficient and process safe. Retrofitting safes costs and improves your existing machines considerably.

Electronic-digital position indicators provide flexible, electronic capture of measured values and semi-automatic adjustment control at spindels.

Benefits: „
- Display value, sense of rotation and decimal place are freely programmable „
- Reset, incremental measurement, offset via keyboard „
- Compatible with mechanical SIKO counters „
- Bus-compatible for monitored format changes
*
SIKO actuators / spindle drives are particularly well suited for automatic format adjustment, stop positioning, tool alignment and valve adjustment as well as many other comparable positioning tasks.

Benefits: „
- Flexible machine concept, simple control behavior „
- Low installation and mounting effort „
- Highly available and maintenance-free „
- Short cycle or retrofitting time „
- High productivity and quality
*
SIKO Easy Touch Control units are the plug & play basis for a complete format adjustment system. The intuitively operated control systems are designed to control up to 31 bus-compatible position indicators or actuators. Whether monitored format adjustment via digital position indicators or fully automated format adjustment via actuators – the systems provide you with the flexibility you need.
