Conventional heat sinks can no longer properly cool high-power electronic devices. Heat pipes more effectively transfer heat away from these devices, meeting the high-power cooling needs.
PC-based data loggers combine the acquisition and storage capabilities of stand-alone data loggers with the archiving, analysis, reporting, and display abilities of modern PCs.
Infrared cameras provide noncontact, real-time temperature data on parts and production equipment to automate quality control, even on fast-moving production lines.
Southern Visions Systems offering one of their Streamview LR Portable high-speed camera kits as a prize to the person who writes the best 100-word explanation
Device for inspecting weldingrod tips uses machine vision to determine whether redressed tips are good enough to resume welding. Weld Tip System from the Orbitform Group and Cure (for concurrent universal recognition engine), the processor chip comes from Neural ID
Among the developments at NI Week: Wi-Fi DAQ and measurement gear you can call on your cell phone. Single-board RIO (Reconfigurable I/O) devices combine an embedded real-time processor, a reconfigurable FPGA, and analog and digital I/O on a printed-circuit board.
The new Renscan5 coordinate-measuring machine (CMM) from Renishaw Inc., Hoffman Estates uses a touch probe or stylus to make measurements at up to 500 mm/sec (or 4,000 data points/sec), which is up to 30 times faster than conventional CMM systems.
