DC interface panels. This company added a series of standard and custom
DC power breaker interface panels that can include high or
low voltage cut-off protection, EMI noise suppression, individual
position monitoring and control. Spectrum Control Inc,

Line scan sensor.
With complete signal processing and data transmission
capabilities, pocket-sized retro-reflective PosCon ZADM 22
line scan sensor provides a low cost width, edge and center
position sensing. Standard measuring ranges are 30, 150 and
350mm. Targets may be programmed using onboard teach-in buttons.
The unit can either display analog values (4-20 mA) or send
data to the serial interface. Baumer Electric Ltd, Southington,
CT. Free info--Circle 780. http://www.OneRS.net/105df-780
Remote sensors.
SmartImage CCD-based sensors perform identification and
data capture by reading bar codes to deliver part-tracking
and inventory control, communicate information to robot and
motion controllers for positioning and report inspection results.

Flowmeters. For
measuring both liquids and gases, Precision Turbine flowmeters
are available with eighteen overlapping flow rates ranging
between 0.125 and 12,000 gal/min with linearity of 0.25 to
0.5 and 0.02 to 0.1% repeatability for a 10:1 range. Sponsler

Vision system.
Offering more than 50 frames per second, VC 2065 smart
camera system has a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels. It interfaces
with an included TI DSP processor with 10 Mb flash ROM (expandable
to 66 Mb) and an 8-bit graphical overlay. Also offered is
optically isolated industrial I/O (eight 24-V inputs and one
high-speed 5-V I/O) and an RS232 interface. Measuring 100
x 50 x 36 mm the system weighs 250 g. Vision Components,

Bleed valves. Providing instrumentation line bleed on air, gas, vapor
and steam service, 6DB series blow down valves performs within
-65°F and 1200°F at working pressures up to 6,000
psig. Constructed of 316 stainless steel, the valve's union
bonnet design prevents accidental disassembly. Straight- and
angle-pattern bodies and various end connections are available.
Flow coefficient is rated at 0.86, with a 0.25-in. orifice.
