Temperature Measurement Kit Works In Remote Areas The Temptrackr multipoint wireless temperature measurement kit from Aspen Electronics is suitable for monitoring the temperature on equipment and installations in remote locations. It can also be used where power and communication to the sensor is restricted. Designed for systems integrators and original equipment manufacturers, the system is claimed to be simple to install and use. It is also portable and offers good performance for real-time in-process temperature sensing. Developed by Vectron International's Sengenuity division and manufactured in Germany, the starter kit contains three passive wireless temperature sensors, capable of measuring temperatures between 0C and +120C from a maximum interrogation distance of 1.78m. The surface acoustic wave (SAW)-based sensors require no power source as they harvest energy from bursts of radio frequency emitted by a wireless interrogator, which excite resonators within each device. ...

Wire Processing Kit Targets Railway Sector The new Nova range of wire processing equipment has been designed especially for the manufacture of wire harnesses for the locomotive and rolling stock industry. Wire processing specialist Spectrum Technologies is set to make a major move into the locomotive and rolling stock (LRS) sector. Using the InnoTrans 2008 show in Berlin as a platform the company will be introducing its new Nova range of wire processing equipment designed especially for the manufacture of wire harnesses for the locomotive and rolling stock industry. Nova is a modular range of wire processing products based on Spectrum's successful new Nova platform recently introduced to the aerospace industry. Nova wire processing systems incorporate ink jet or laser technology, as required, for direct wire marking and identification in place of expensive heat shrink sleeve marking systems. These marking technologies are embodied in a range of wire mark, measure and cut systems th...
