Sensors

Micro heaters are used in devices requiring a small but accurate heat source with precise temperature control, such as optical interactive assistance systems. Allowing for targeted heating of tiny spaces, IST AG micro heaters are found across various industries, including automotive, laser manufacturing, humidification units, life-science, 3D printing and medical devices. They are a precision heat source for gas and humidity sensors, biospy or tissue samples for medical analysis, or used in malignant tumor treatment. Our micro heaters combine high-precision and long-term stability with a wide temperature range from -50°C up to +800°C and feature numerous benefits: — Fast response times — High temperature stability — Long term stability — Overheating protection — High precision — Targeted heating of tiny spaces — Tailor-made to fit customer's application Each micro heater is individually customized and designed to fit your application's requirement.

White light interferometers use infrared light in the non-visible range (approx. 840 nm wavelength), which means that the measurement position cannot be seen. To visualize the measuring position, Micro-Epsilon systems are equipped with a pilot laser which projects a light spot onto the measuring position. In addition, the pilot laser uses a patented method to provide feedback on the distance in addition to the measurement position. If the measuring object is at the correct distance and within the measuring range, a constant glow is emitted by the pilot laser. If the measuring object is outside the measuring range, the pilot laser flashes.

BEDIA level monitoring sensors are used to monitor the filling levels of liquids. The sensors detect when a filling level is exceeded or falls below a limit. Water-based liquids like coolants, AdBlue®, fresh water, waste water, bilge water and oil-based liquids like motor oils, hydraulic oils, fuels and brake fluids can be monitored. Since they contain no mechanical moving parts, their function will not be influenced by dirt particles or other influences. No electrical current is sent through the medium via an electrode with BEDIA sensors, an electrolysis of the medium is not possible. Operating Principle The function of the sensor is based on the capacitive principle. It detects the change in capacitance that occurs when an electrode surrounded by air is immersed into a liquid medium. This change in capacitance at the electrode of the sensor excites an oscillator. This signal is processed by a microcontroller-based evaluation circuit which activates or deactivates an output stage.

The Structural Health Sensors combine a 2-axis accelerometer with a temperature sensor. Their enhanced internal surge protection and electromagnetic interference immunity make them particularly suitable for the permanent monitoring of outdoor tall structures. The Structural Health Sensors can perform measurements in extreme conditions ranging from -40°C to +85°C. They are of course dust and watertight to IP66. We have a proven track record of several thousands of such sensors operating reliably around the world.TYPICAL USE Permanent outdoor monitoring of tall structures FEATURES Acceleration measurements along 2 axes Temperature measurement of the surface the sensor is attached to Signals transmission through 4-20mA current loops Embedded Lightning Protection Operation down to -40°C MODELS Standard High Resolution
