Flowmeter

R-series flowmeters are designed to offer the benefits of Coriolis flow measurement technology for general-purpose applications. The units measure mass and volume of liquids, gases, and slurries, have no moving parts, and reportedly don't require recalibration or regular maintenance. They are also said to measure within 0.5% of flow rate for liquids. Four sizes are available: 1/4, 1/2, 1, and 2 inch.

ID solution

AcuReader III(TM)is a high-performance vision system for identifying and tracking wafers and components through the semiconductor manufacturing process. The unit features a Wizard-based interface that guides the user step-by-step through the process of setting up ID applications, and self-configuring the appropriate parameters as it operates.

Measuring tongue

Designed for taking small measurements, such as indirect measurements of the mold cavity pressure behind the ejector pin, the Type 9227A miniature measuring tongue is 4x6 mm. In addition to the unit's size, other reported advantages include high sensitivity for plastic injection-molding applications.

Kistler Instrumente AG

Oxygen analyzer

CG 1100-RTP oxygen analyzers are designed to improve yields in the semiconductor industry's rapid thermal processing wafer fabrication systems. By detecting oxygen contamination at the parts-per-million level, the unit reportedly maximizes throughput by ending the purge cycle as soon as the oxygen background is acceptable. Other features are a zirconium oxide sensor for accuracy and fast response, and electronic flow control allowing a range of operating pressures.

Linear sensor

SLS190 is a sealable linear sensor that uses hybrid track technology. According to the company, the design offers benefits for system designers requiring analog position feedback, while providing an affordable solution for large volume OEM customers. The unit is designed to be interchangeable with the company's HLP190 linear potentiometer, but can be specified with a compact shaft option, which reportedly offers a dramatically reduced mounting dimension.

Gauge

The CHATILLON(R)TURBOGAUGE Series is designed to expand the capabilities of hand-held digital force gauges by combining powerful data storage and downloading with favorable force-measurement performance and dependability. It reportedly employs a powerful CPU with 128K flash memory into a hand-held instrument that collects data at rates up to 10,000 samples/sec. It also features programmable test parameters, user-selectable sampling rates, and ability to store up to 1,000 test readings in up to 99 different user-defined batches.

AMETEK Test & Calibration Instruments

Level Sensors

These Teflon and Flange Mounted models reportedly include the market's most compact electro-optic liquid level sensors. The family offers temperature capability to 100C, pressure ratings to 2,500 psi, and a good resistance to particulate contaminate in process fluids. They don't contain any moving parts to assure long service life, and they feature integrated electronics to avoid the need for a separate controller.

Gems Sensors

Coordinate measuring

YP20 3D coordinate measuring machine is made for close-tolerance parts applications. It combines non-contact, auto-focusing optical/laser sensing technology and PC-based computer numerical control to provide three-dimensional inspection, measurement, and analysis of microscopic surface features on integrated circuits, printed circuit boards, and machined materials.
