The ratio measuring principle makes the new thermoMETER CTRatio pyrometer an extraordinary solution for industrial measurement tasks in the metals industry. When measuring metals using conventional pyrometers, measurement errors due to harsh environmental conditions had to be accepted. However, the thermoMETER CTRatio solves this measurement task with high precision and reliability. Smoke, dust, vapor and contamination on the lens or an object moving within the measuring field, do not influence ...

The mainSENSOR measures displacement and distance by using a magnet that is fixed to the measurement object. If a magnet moves, the magnetic flow in the sensor element changes, which is detected by the sensor coil. Due to dependent physical effects, this results in a linear relationship between distance and output signal. The mainSENSOR combines the advantages of inductive and magnetic sensors. Unlike conventional magnetic sensors based on the Hall Effect principle, mainSENSOR models have a sign...

Manufacturing Global | January 13, 2020

Shannon Murphy, Assistant Head of Risk Underwriting and manufacturing specialist at Euler Hermes, examines the last 12 months and explains where the risks lie for the sector in the year ahead. Manufacturers around the world have had a challenging year in 2019. The impact of the ongoing trade dispute between the US and China and uncertainty surrounding the UK’s withdrawal from the EU have both contributed to the slowing of the global economy, which will have given the sector’s leaders...
