Sensor Hones In On Sharp Operators

Risk is being driven out of the use of heavy duty diamond cutting tools thanks to a Euro 800,000 EU-backed research programme at Greenwich University in London, to determine the true operating characteristics of such equipment. At the heart of this vital work is a high tech torque sensor from Sensor Technology... Read More

Answer is blowing in the wind

Performing scientific experiments in the sort of winds and weather conditions that blow off the North Sea and across the Northumbrian hills, calls for robust equipment and reliable researchers. When scientists wanted a way of measuring the key parameters for mapping the performance of vertical axis turbines sited in the... Read More

SAW Sensor Sees Servo Resonance

Servo control systems that reduce drive-train torsional resonance are being researched at the University of Sheffield. Underpinning the research is a radically new, non-contact, low cost, high bandwidth, torque transducer based on Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) techniques developed by Sensor Technology in Banbury, Oxfordshire and trade marked TorqSense. Torsional resonance is... Read More

Drive To Optimise Drug Delivery

Critical drug delivery errors are being driven out of medical practise by advancing intravenous (IV) medication delivery technologies with smart memories and optimised drive mechanisms. ALARIS Medical Systems® develops drug-infusion systems and patient monitoring equipment for hospitals and other care facilities around the world and is constantly developing new technologies...

Food research all washed up

Available in other languages: Real time process control for food manufacture has come a significant step closer, thanks to pioneering research work at University College Dublin into viscosity measurement techniques for characterising the flow and mixability of highly non-Newtonian fluids. At the heart of the researchers’ experiments is the TorqSense... Read More

It’s Safer Than You Thought To Belt Up

Car seatbelts are now proven to be more reliable than previously thought thanks to a chance discovery by test rig builder Mindready Solutions in Belfast. When building a replacement rig for a global seatbelt manufacturer they used a highly sensitive transducer from Sensor Technology instead of a standard one, which highlighted previously... Read More

Demand Growing For Non-Contact Torque Measurement

Diverse sectors of industry are preparing to embrace Surface Acoustic Wave techniques for non-contact torque measurement, and leading developer Sensor Technology is gearing up to meet the demand. The company has been developing the technology from its research base in Banbury, Oxon, and is now entering a new phase in... Read More

Ultrasound Helps Optimise Drive Designs

Available in other languages: A bespoke pump maker is using ultrasound waves to efficiently model drive torque and thus contain development costs to within predictable limits. Charles Austen Pumps has recently upgraded test facilities with Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) equipment from Sensor Technology, a recognised leader in the field. Charles... Read More
