This company has integrated machinery condition-analysis technology into the metsoDNA CR automation system. The application, called DNAmachineAssessor, enables maintenance staff to have first-hand access to machine vibration data and mechanical component condition analysis through the same user interface (photo), which…
Hamilton The ARC concept (photo) is a new family of sensors for process control, which includes pH, dissolved oxygen and conductivity measurements. More than just sensors, the devices are complete solutions that include sensors, and direct standard interface to the…
The XR360 is the latest technology for accelerated exposure testing of complete photovoltaic (PV) modules. The unit integrates recent developments in environmental-chamber and xenon solar-simulation technology. The XR360 is capable of testing modules up to 1.9 m X 1.4 m,…
JUMO The tecLine LF-4P (photo) is a new cell with four-pin technology for measuring conductivity. The device fills the gap between two-electrode cells and inductive measurement technology, and makes it possible to cover a very wide measurement range from about…
ITW ActiveTouch ITW ActiveMetal switches (photo) have been introduced to this firm’s ActiveTouch line of switch products. The patented pushbutton switch employs a low-voltage subminiature transducer, which generates megahertz frequency vibration to the pushbutton a thousand times per second and…
Electro-Chemical Devices Accurate fluoride-ion measurements are required for applications including semiconductor fabrication and glass manufacturing. The S10 and S17 Fluoride pIon Sensors (photo) measure the activity of free fluoride ions in solution in concentration from 0.02 to 2,000 ppm over…
The Model VIP flow conditioner offers this company’s tab-type flow-conditioning technology in a low-cost, simply installed insertion panel format. It avoids the need, as with many flowmeter types, to have a significant straight run of pipe to allow a repeatable,…
The DFA 100 Dynamic Foam Analyzer provides information about foamability, stability and drainage. Volumes from 20 mL are foamed with high reproducibility in a column using a gas stream or stirrer. The volumes of the foam and liquid are determined…
The Model PM 100 particulate-flow and emissions-monitoring system provides continuous realtime and averaged analysis of particulate emissions for compliance with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations. Designed for fabric filters, cyclones and process particulate flow monitoring, the PM 100 features…
Last month, a new, physically smaller version of the CSI 6500 Machinery Health Monitor was introduced. The system — only 19 cm wide by 27 cm high — allows predictive condition monitoring for rotating equipment in a greater number of…
