Leuze has launched what it believes is the world’s first safety bar code positioning system. With the FBPS 600i, only one device is needed for safe position detection.

SICK has launched its next generation, intelligent WLL80 Fibre Optic Sensors, designed for easy configuration and versatile integration into machinery and conveyor systems in applications where rapid, high accuracy detection is required in confined spaces.

SICK has developed a Roller Sensor Bar to help reduce conveyor downtimes in wide-ranging materials handling, parcel sorting or logistics hubs.

Wet environments coupled with aggressive chemical cleaning can make non-contact ultrasonic distance measurement and level sensing challenging. The UIT300 full-metal ultrasonic sensors range from ifm electronic is said to offer a solution, ensuring long life, even in demanding environments.

Thanks to user-friendly application software, even inexperienced users will be able to easily and quickly configure the new Dualis 2D vision sensors to perform complex and demanding inspection and recognition tasks, says ifm.

Inductive proximity sensors in the new IF60xx range from ifm electronic offer compatibility with existing installations and additional functionality that provides benefits in new applications.

Turck can offer robust radar sensors for distance measurements of up to 15m for rugged application areas in factory automation as well as in outdoor or mobile applications.

HBK has created a robust force sensor to provide long-term stability and precise measurement results, even in harsh applications and difficult environments

Pepperl+Fuchs is expanding its ultrasonic sensor range with the addition of the USi-safety ultrasonic sensor system.

MTS Sensors has introduced enhancements to its Temposonics R-Series V PROFINET position sensors – with functions such as machine monitoring and predictive maintenance, the focus of the new sensor generation is Industry 4.0.

Equipment rentals can help companies overcome the hurdle of finding investment capital to fund development and verification projects.

Carlo Gavazzi has launched the latest LD30 Sensors with both ToF (time of flight) and IO-Link communication in the same sensor providing greater flexibility to detect any object, any colour, any material or surface types at a distance of up to 1,000mm.

Emerson has introduced a new Micro Motion Coriolis flow meter designed for high-pressure hydrogen dispensing and chemical injection applications where measurement accuracy and safety are essential.

SICK has upgraded its pressure sensor offering with the multifunctional PBS Plus, combining electronic pressure control, measurement and real-time monitoring in one IO-Link enabled device.

Yokogawa Electric Corporation has launched a new range of pressure and temperature sensors for the Sushi Sensor wireless industrial IoT (IIoT) solution, which is part of the OpreX Asset Management and Integrity family.

Emerson has added the Daniel T-200, a titanium-housed transducer, to its gas ultrasonic flowmeter product line. This product is the first to use metal 3D printing to enhance the acoustic performance in custody transfer applications.

When a gearbox on a critical application fails there will always be a scramble to get it up and running again. Even when a spare is available, production will inevitably be lost. It is, however, now possible to retrofit a predictive maintenance solution.

SKF has gained hazardous area approval for its QuickCollect sensor, which collects vibration and temperature data. This new approval allows the sensor to be used in places that would previously have required a ‘hot work’ permit.

The TCC self-checking temperature sensor from ifm electronic has been created for use in processes where accurate temperature control is essential and deviations could have costly implications.

Design optimisations now allow the EXspect 271 turbidity sensor to be used up to process pressures of 16 bar.
