With the ability to print metal structures with complex shapes and unique mechanical properties, metal additive manufacturing (AM) could be revolutionary. However, without a better understanding of ...

sensors suit 80% of sensing applications today; but plastic-face sensors are not designed to stand up to the harsh conditions of severe industrial environments. Traditional plastic-face and ...

Non-contact proximity sensors can improve the ruggedness of manufacturing operations, such as metal component assembly, by replacing delicate mechanical switches. Sensor selection for these ...

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO:6503) announced today that it has developed what is believed to be the world's first * compact metal corrosion sensor small enough to be ...

Omron has a series of welding proximity sensors that can identify iron and aluminium at the same distance. “Previous full metal proximity sensors have struggled to differentiate efficiently between ...

With their high chemical and thermal resistance, metal cushions are a sensible alternative to elastomer components. The elasticity and damping of the wire mesh is based on the interaction of ...

Fig. 1. Strip-type deformation sensors. One ply of cured carbon fiber/epoxy prepreg to be monitored is used as a thin, flexible sheet with optical fibers — one embedded in the upper surface and one in ...
