Until about 10 years ago, the force test and measurement industry had been fairly unimaginative. It had developed a standard way of building analog load cells, torque transducers and other devices, ...

Measuring torque, rotational speed, angle of rotation, and the quantities derived from these variables are increasingly critical in the design of new test benches for use in industrial environments.

The ZS smart measurement sensor from Omron combines two-dimensional CMOS imaging with laser measurements to create an inspection system that provides 110-μs response time and 0.25-μm resolution for ...
