POSITAL is a leading manufacturer of position sensors that have developed innovative solutions for measuring tilt angles with their dynamic and static inclinometers. While both types serve to measure angles relative to the force of gravity, they differ fundamentally in their design and solutions provided. Static Inclinometers Static inclinometers from POSITAL are designed for very small moves or vibrations. Using an accelerometer, the device relies on measuring the Earth's gravity components to calculate tilt angles and slope position. It provides accurate measurement in stable environments

Did you ever wonder how robots move their joints with precision, or how the axle wheels of trains accurately run on track? What do these two have in common with conveyor belts, sushi trains and crane hoists? Encoders. These small yet mighty gadgets pack a punch when it comes to motion feedback and control. What is an Encoder? An encoder is a type of sensor that converts motion into electrical signals that can be interpreted by electronic control devices, such as a counter or a programmable logic controller (PLC). These signals provide position, speed, count, or direction feedback, which enable

Are you looking for a hand-held moisture meter? ADM has a variety of models for your specific requirements...

To protect public health and safety, Australia and New Zealand have a joint agreement designed to implement and enforce mandatory food standards through the Food Regulation system. Safeguarding food safety begins from food production. In commercial kitchens, for instance, large ovens, food dehydrators, and drying ovens yield a substantial amount of food products daily. Keeping these equipment in tip-top condition is of paramount importance, not only in ensuring that food produced is safe, but also of superior quality. Manually checking temperatures from multiple equipment is unproductive and

In this article, we’ll explore the key differences between Invertek VSDs and other brands, how easy they are to set up for various applications, and why they’re often the better choice for your needs..

The Watlow DIN-A-MITE range is a series of compact, solid-state thyristors or power controllers designed to regulate electric heating equipment. Incorporating a Watlow thyristor into your plastics production control system could reduce material waste and improve efficiency. Using the DIN-A-MITE provides better control of the heater and the process, which will result in precise temperatures, consistently shaped end-products, less wastage resulting from rejects, and reduced downtimes caused by machine failures. What is a Thyristor? A thyristor is a type of semiconductor device, which acts like a

Canister load cells, also known as low profile, pancake load cells or universal load cells, are compression force sensors designed for accurate weight and force measurement. They use internal strain gauges to detect shape changes caused by compressive forces. Understanding Canister Load Cells The design of canister load cells is characterised by its cylindrical shape, resembling storage canisters. This low-profile design allows for high precision in measurement while occupying minimal space. Typically, these load cells utilise either multiple shear struts for higher capacities or bending beams

In today's industrial landscape, accurate data recording is essential for maintaining quality and meeting legal requirements. Paperless graphic recorders have ushered in a new era of precision data tracking, ditching old-fashioned paper and charts for digital storage to record valuable production data. These modern devices are rapidly replacing traditional paper-based systems across various industries. The shift is driven by several factors: Improved Accuracy: Digital recorders offer higher precision and eliminate errors associated with manual chart reading. Cost-Effectiveness: By reducing
