Eddy current displacement sensors from Micro-Epsilon occupy a special position amongst inductive displacement sensors. Insensitive to environmental influences such as temperature, pressure and dirt, they measure displacement, distance and position with high accuracy. The compact eddyNCDT 3001 model now offers even larger measuring ranges, thereby opening up new fields of application. Eddy current sensors from Micro-Epsilon are unique among inductive measuring techniques. They provide reliable measurement results even in harsh, industrial environments at the highest precision and high bandwidth. Measuring via eddy current is based on the extraction of energy from an oscillating circuit. This energy is needed for the…
How a submarine dives into the deep sea and re-surfaces is a question of simple physics. And aiding in this function is air compression technology. The vessel floats on the surface when the weight of water it displaces equals its own weight. This displacement of water creates an upward force called buoyancy that opposes the downward acting gravity. Since a submarine can control its buoyancy, it can submerge and re-surface. A submarine controls its buoyancy with the help of its ballast tanks; these tanks are filled with water to increase the overall weight of the submarine, thus allowing it to…
More automation and greater dynamism – the demands on the mechanics and control technology are increasing on wind turbines just as they are in traditional engineering. At the same time it is absolutely essential for plant builders and operators to meet the specifications of the Machinery Directive. Guidelines published by Germanischer Lloyd WindEnergie GmbH (GL Wind) also categorise protection against excess rotor speed as a safety-related function. Safe speed monitors meet these specifications and combine fulfilment of safety requirements with economical operation. The technical development of wind turbines has progressed rapidly over the last few years. Apart from the basic…

Global engineering technologies company, Renishaw, has worked with the Friends of Berkeley Castle to create an additively manufactured sun dial for historic Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire, UK. Because sun dials are specific to onelatitude and longitude, a bespoke product was essential for the project to be successful. Renishaw used its own additive manufacturing technology to produce a precise final product. The finished sun dial was unveiled at the Friends’ Summer Party in August 2017 and will be displayed in the Castle’s garden on a pedestal. The Friends of Berkeley Castle approached Renishaw about creating a unique sun dial design for…

Triangulation means the measurement of distance by calculating the angle. In measurement technology a Sensor projects a laser spot onto the Measurement object. The reflected light falls incident onto a receiving element at a certain angle depending on the distance. The distance to the Measurement object or Target is calculated in the Sensor by the position of the light spot on the Receiver element and from the distance of the transmitter to the receiving element. https://www.micro-epsilon.com/video/laser-triangulation-principle-EN-1920.mp4
