DRT 25C dynamic reference diffuse sensor with innovative CAT technology

DRT 25C dynamic reference diffuse sensor with innovative CAT technology

With the DRT 25C dynamic reference diffuse sensor, Leuze has brought a new operating principle to the market in the area of optical sensors. At the heart of the invention is the innovative CAT technology, which transforms a simple diffuse sensor into a highly intelligent device. This can be seen in the DRT 25C's clever mode of operation: it is taught in on a reference surface at the press of a button which allows it to reliably detect nearly every object – independent of shape, color and surface structure.

Versatile LVDT/RVDT/resolver simulator module from Pickering Interfaces occupies just one PXI slot

Versatile LVDT/RVDT/resolver simulator module from Pickering Interfaces occupies just one PXI slot

Pickering Interfaces has launched its model 41-670, a single module that can function as an LVDT, RVDT or resolver simulator. Occupying just one PXI or LXI chassis slot, the programmability of the module means that it minimizes the amount of hardware required. Also, since it sits in a PXI chassis alongside a customer’s other instruments, additional control protocols/interfaces are not necessary, simplifying operation.
