This thermal-imaging camera is portable

The Mikron MikroSHOT (photo) is the latest offering from this firms’ Mikron Infrared thermal imaging product line. The MikroSHOT’s Thermal-on-Visible mode allows for radiometric temperature data (from –20 – 350°C) to be displayed directly on the visible image. The pocket-sized…

Inline air tightness checker saves time and money

To meet food manufacturers’ stringent standards of freshness and quality, this firm introduces the SealTester, a rugged instrument that checks packaging for air and gas tightness inline. The key advantage of the SealTester is its saving in personnel costs compared…

Condition monitoring & analysis integrated in automation system

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…

These sensors do more than measure control variables

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…

Full-scale, PV-module durability testing is now possible

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,…
