The pencil probe is designed to increase measurement accuracy and expands the 137B series of quartz, free-field ICP blast pressure pencil probes, reducing the need for multiple single-sensor probes.

This tool provides a self-guided assessment for machine builders to measure their performance in the three pillars of industrial safety: culture (behavior), compliance (procedure) and capital (investment in contemporary technology).

This capability will enhance ABB’s ability to address trends toward bigger, more power-hungry data centers and industrial plants that require ever-larger UPS systems.

The lab will be used for proprietary research and development of cyber security technologies and products, hands-on training and certifications, and testing and validation of industrial cyber security solutions.

An R&D program has been initiated there to discover new uses for the TC with help from a new automated process for winding coils.

ProSense TSDA25 series temperature switches are designed to offer temperature monitoring and control with setup via mechanical adjustment dials.

The DSRK strain probe from Baumer is designed for tie bar strain measurement. Containing no elastomers, it can be used at ambient temperatures up to 85°C, and does not require subsequent recalibrations due to age.

This intermediate-level book explains the application of basic and advanced regulatory control strategies for the wet process industries.

Manufacturing technology executives will focus on ‘Empowering Manufacturing’s Future’ during the 2017 Global Automation & Manufacturing Summit on Tuesday, November 7 at the Integrated Automation, Motion & Drives trade show (IAMD USA) co-located with FABTECH 2017 in Chicago.
