The D-series sensor is a low-cost displacement sensor with Temposonics® magnetostrictive sensing technology. The D-Series sensor utilizes MTS’ patented non-contact sensing technology with the highest possible durability in linear positioning.

Used to architect secure high performance IPv4/v6 Intra-Platform Networks (IPNs), the SVME/DMV-682 can also be used to cost-effectively transform legacy 'bus-based' VME systems into high performance 'network-ready' switched system.

The CHAMP-AV IV's Quad 1.25 GHz Freescale 7448 processors increase complex FFT processing speed by as much as 300%.

Korenix JetCon 1302, a 2-port 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX Fast Ethernet media converter, provides extra flexibility for traditional Fiber media conversion. It adopts slim industrial design, small dimensions (HxWxD, 112mm x 30mm x 90mm) and little weight, to save rail space.

The new GAGEMOUNT weigh module is available in 20, 30, 50 and 100 ton capacities. The compact design allows for simple, economical conversion of tanks, hoppers and silos into weighing systems.

CCD technology meets the needs of demanding high-speed hand sortation applications. With a first pass read rate of more than 99 percent (compared to 90-96 percent for lasers), HandsFree provides the accuracy of a camera at the price of a laser scanner, while increasing product throughput. Quick set-up and low maintenance enable HandsFree to provide the lowest total cost of ownership of any bar code scanning option.

Multi-Flex VSC conveyor system brings the greatest flexibility in assembly/changeover ease to low-profile angle conveyors. The VSC (variable-shape conveyor) system's three different angle selections - 30°, 45° and 60° - can be assembled into eight different conveyor types to transfer product between different elevation patterns.

The SDR1L, SDR2L, and SDR4L COTS-based single, dual and quad-channel Serial FPDP data recorders will support data streams at rates up to 245MB/s per channel. Archived data can be retrieved via the Gigabit Ethernet port at rates up to 1.25 GB/s. An optional high-speed 2GB/s Fibre Channel Data Retrieval kit is also available for significantly faster retrieval speeds, up to 200MB/s.

Honeywell today announced a new service that will help pulp and paper companies reduce maintenance costs while keeping their quality-control equipment running smoothly: Honeywell Quality Control System (QCS) Remote Monitoring. Designed to support Honeywell DaVinci and MXOpen systems, QCS Remote Monitoring allows Honeywell technicians to securely monitor their customers’ scanner equipment and diagnose problems from afar, saving maintenance expenses and reducing downtime.

The Flowserve GCX single mechanical cartridge seal is specifically designed for ANSI and DIN pump services, where the pumps and seals are required to operate in multiple chemical environments without chemical compatibility change-outs. The Flowserve GCX seal is ideally suited for intermediate and batch chemical processes in short-run chemical plants and in multiple campaign specialty chemical and pharmaceutical plants using solvents and steam for decontamination.

Moore Industries' TPZ PROFIBUS PA Temperature Transmitter saves wire and installation costs by allowing up to 32 field devices (126 with repeaters) to be networked onto one, low-cost PROFIBUS PA data link. The TPZ features industry-leading 20-bit input resolution to deliver measurement accuracies of up to ±0.05°C (±0.09°F).

The EDS-408A/405A series is an economical managed switch solution that includes both 8-port models and 5-port models. The rugged industrial design features plug-n-play Turbo Ring redundancy (recovery time < 300 ms at full load), and advanced managed functions, such as QoS, Port-based VLAN, SNMP V1/V2c/V3, and RMON.

The IEXR and IEHR Series’ rugged 70W-150W dc/dc converters are ideal for a variety of applications, including process control, instrumentation and industrial installations.

Continuum Software Architecture (CSA) helps reduce development, integration, life-cycle maintenance and support costs. CSA will significantly enhance the ease of COTS integration with Curtiss-Wright's system "building blocks" such as single board computers and mezzanine cards.
