Optical Sensor ICs foster integration and innovation.
2015-06-24 14:31:07| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
Offered in single- or multiple-photodetector element configurations, LeddarCore™ sensor ICs offer optimized integration. Photodetector, pulsed light source, and optical elements enable development of applications with reliability, footprint, power, and robustness requirements. Used for optical detection and ranging devices, ICs are optimized for sensitivity, noise and lighting condition immunity, signal processing speed and accuracy regarding simultaneous measurements, and spatial awareness.

Optical Sensor supports heart rate monitoring.
2015-05-12 14:31:08| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
Consisting of large-format photodiode and 3 green LEDs with wavelength of 530 nm, Model SFH 7051 monitors heart rate by measuring volume of blood passing through blood vessels. Device produces optical output of 3 x 3.4 mW at current of 20 mA and voltage of 3.2 V. Low capacitance of 11 pF ensures short switching times and high measurement frequency. With photo-sensitive area of 1.7 mm², sensor is suited for use in fitness trackers, smart watches, and other wearables.

Designed for installing self-clinching fasteners, PEMSERTER® Series 4® integrates Optical Sensor Indicator to signal when safety is properly set for each job. OSI activates during set-up mode when press ram/punch is being adjusted onto workpiece prior to fastener installation. OSI changes from black to orange at exact point when safety is successfully engaged, eliminating potential for operator error. Featuring 18 in. throat depth, press achieves adjustable insertion force from 400 lb to 6 tons. This story is related to the following:Assembly Presses
