Based on the Völklingen Ironworks site, a UNESCO world heritage site, itp is ideally situated as a precision metal-working company. Here, around 50 employees produce measuring-technology components with high-performance Motorex Ortho NF-X cutting oil, which can be used universally. The smallest measuring probe has a probe ball with a diameter of only 0.5 mm at the tip. This was drilled and mounted onto the shaft, which is only 0.17 mm wide. This demands the highest degree of precision (…)

With the miniature cavity pressure sensor type 6008A Priamus System Technologies extends its range of sensors for the use at limited spacial conditions in the injection mold. It is a remarkable and unique fact that also with these small dimensions the sensor connecting cable can be detached and exchanged as needed. As with all cavity pressure and cavity temperature sensors this sensor can be used to automatically detect the melt front for switching purposes – such as the opening and (…)

If the capture of movements (motion capture) was developed in the 1980s for the army and then for physiological and medical analyses, it is Hollywood and video games that have developed this technique for recording human movements through sensors to then recreate them in a virtual manner (as in Avatar for example). At EPHJ Crevoisier, the manufacturer of grinding and finishing centres, will present an articulated polishing robot that operates using the same technique. Crevoisier uses the (…)
