Hitachi Metals Develops Worlds Smallest Digital Output Triaxial Accelerating Sensor

Tokyo - Hitachi Metals announced on August 23 that it has produced the smallest digital output triaxial accelerating sensor of its kind in the world. The H30CD sensor measures 2.9 x 2.9 x 0.92 mm, compared with the conventional 3.4 x 3.7 x 0.92mm triaxial accelerating sensor, with a reduced electrical voltage of 3V at 0.35mA. Hitachi has incorporated its own micro-electromechanical system, (MEMS)...

Servo System cuts cycle time of large machine tools.

Machining Point Control features Acceleration Rate Sensor Unit, which simultaneously detects acceleration rate of 3 axes at machine. Output of unit is taken into account by CNC servo loop through standard separate detector interface unit. Servo system software then uses detected acceleration rate to control motor's motion, suppressing vibration, stabilizing machine at tool tip, and enabling...

Digital Speed Sensor features running mode calibration.

Supplied in an SH package, ATS642LSH addresses critical requirements specific to ABS speed-sensing applications. This 2-wire, dual-element, Hall-effect sensor switches in response to differential magnetic signals from ferrous target and can handle airgap variations due to cornering events. Running mode calibration automatically adjusts for miscalibration without missing transition and maintains...

Air Velocity Transducers suit general-purpose applications.

Series FMA-900 uses velocity and temperature sensor to measure air velocity in standard feet per minute. Both sensors are glass-coated platinum resistance detectors. Designed to promote accuracy and low-velocity sensitivity, circuit heats velocity sensor to constant temperature differential above ambient temperature and measures cooling effect of air flow. Models feature linear analog outputs of...
