When selecting an in-process thickness measurement system, a number of challenges need to be considered, including the effect of combined real-world errors. In this second article on thickness measurement, Glenn Wedgbrow, Business Development Manager at Micro-Epsilon UK, discusses how these challenges can be overcome in practice.

New from HBK is the Load Cell Measurement Chain (LCMC), a customisable solution that allows users to tailor their measurement system to meet their individual needs, and install it according to the 'plug and play' principle.

The Phoenix Contact range of PCB connectors for power electronics is being extended further. With the new PC 6 PCB connectors with screw connection, the classic connection technology is also available with enhanced touch protection for the new pin connector pattern.

The PL240 non-contact point level sensor from Baumer is compact yet robust sensor that can be attached outside plastic or glass tanks (even with a wall thickness of up to 6mm). It can reliably detect point levels of water-based media thanks to compensating adherence.

Time savings of up to 70 percent can be achieved with the Thermomark E.Vario thermal transfer roll printer from Phoenix Contact. The applicator is part of the new Thermomark E series. The modular system combines a powerful thermal transfer roll printer with four different applicators.
