Industrial sensors using fiber-optic cables often have a role sensing small targets or working under conditions that would hamper other types of sensors. Fiber-optic cables contain thin strands of ...

It’s always interesting to see how scientists and engineers have exploited—in the positive sense of the word—somewhat obscure, fundamental physics principles to create innovative sensors. For example, ...

Designers of composites are learning that if they are to be able to guarantee component and system performance, repeatability and reliability, it is critical that they have access to more sensor and ...

Fibre-optic sensors are the ideal solution when installation space is limited. For such applications, ifm is now launching the new OCF series fibre-optic sensors. The sensors operate on the same ...

Fiber-optic interferometric sensors have emerged as essential tools in precision measurement, utilising the interference of coherent light to detect minute displacements and variations in physical ...

Pipeline contents are typically valuable, volatile, and harmful to the environment if allowed to escape. With them being susceptible to aging, accidental damage, or tampering, the chances of an escape ...

Com&Sens (Eke, Belgium) claims it has a non-intrusive, in-situ sensor for measuring changes in temperature, strain or pressure within a composite, but which also provides resin flow and cure ...
