Discover the amazing facts from our Temposonics world.

Studersond goes deep with AGIROSSI and Temposonics Soil samples are needed for many different projects. In research, they help to gain new insights into the nature of the subsoil, as well as into times long past. Such samples are also necessary for private or industrial construction companies in order to exclude contamination of the soil to be built on. Conventional core drilling machines are bulky and take up a lot of valuable time during set-up and dismantling.

As new technology is integrated into long standing vehicle designs, the new abilities often inspire previously unanticipated uses that solve problems, improve efficiency, and lead to competitive advantages. Inspiration comes in many forms. For engineers and mechanical designers, new technology can both expose problems that were previously undetected and provide new thinking to solve problems that were thought impossible.

In current debates about renewable energies, wind power is often in the spotlight. The theory of wind energy dates back as far as the 18th century, and now it is arguably one of the most well-known and important types of energy generation.

Champagne, the famous sparkling wine from the Champagne region in France, is considered to be good-tasting and high-quality. As each drop is precious and must not be wasted, champagne producers entrust their production and bottling processes to reliable, modern and highly automated machines. PERRIER Bottling Machines is one of the best-known machine manufacturers among Champagne producers. In this article, Stephane Chambon, Automation Manager at PERRIER, explains how Temposonics position sensors optimize the control of bottling machines.

The analog output can be described as a traditional signal type in measurement and control technology. Is such a signal transmission still up-to-date nowadays? In order to answer this question, this article explains the mode of operation and the possibilities of analog signal transmission. The properties of analog signal transmission and Industrial Ethernet interfaces are compared with each other, so that you can make the right choice for your application in the future.

Since the last couple of years, natural resources enjoy an increasing demand. In the wake of this demand, also veneer-based products – plywood and LVL – are more and more requested for example for building and transportation purposes. A key element of veneer production is the peeling process and there is a substantial number of position sensors applied to control the machine movements. The Finnish company Raute Oyj is one of the worldwide leading companies in plywood and LVL production technologies. Mr Antti Pennanen, Head of Electronics & Automation at Raute Oyj, explains in this interview the key role that Temposonics® position sensors play in their processes.

Andre Beste, Technical Marketing Manager at Temposonics GmbH, explains in an interview why the magnetostrictive MHRM linear position sensors are predestined for a wide range of railroad applications and why they meet the needs of the industry.

Dr. Olaf Kissing, Product Manager for industrial sensors at Temposonics, explains the importance of shock and vibration testing for position sensors used in industrial applications.

Marcel Idsinga, Managing Director at Instrument Technical Utilities (ITU), a suppplier of measurement and control instrumentation, explains the challenges of inland water transport by barges in Europe. The company equips oil and chemical tankers with control systems using Temposonics transmitters to provide high accuracy level measurement. This is part 2 of a two-part article.
