Photonics to help dairy industry with new five minute scan

Photonics to help dairy industry with new five minute scan

A new optical sensor that can check the presence of contaminants in milk and produce a detailed reading in five minutes, is set to dramatically reduce costs, wastage and antibiotic use linked to the production, quality control, and processing phases in the dairy industry.

High-end laser measurement, no longer a luxury

High-end laser measurement, no longer a luxury

Just like most pieces of sophisticated electronic kit, laser measurement sensors, when first introduced, were costly and somewhat limited in their capabilities. On-going product development, coupled with improved manufacturing processes, has largely overcome these early restraints facilitating accurate laser measurement in both high- and low-end applications.

Factors to consider when selecting capacitive displacement sensors

Factors to consider when selecting capacitive displacement sensors

When selecting a non-contact capacitive displacement sensor, a number of key factors need to be considered, including target size and shape, guarding method and bandwidth. As well as clean environments, the sensors can also operate in dirty, dusty industrial areas too, says Chris Jones of Micro-Epsilon.
