Emerson to Present Smart Wireless Paper
Realising Operational Safety and Business Benefits from Wireless Technology
Andy Wallace, Business Manager for Wireless Solutions with Emerson
Process Management, will present a paper entitled "Realising
Operational Safety and Business Benefits from Wireless Technology" as
part of the Wireless Solutions for Automation seminar programme.
Featuring real world applications of their Smart Wireless
self-organising technology, the presentation will describe why this
innovative technology is being embraced by the process industry.
 Piezoelectric sensors make miniature joining module sensitive & precise
The new NCFT Type 2157A electromechanical joining module from Kistler Instruments has been designed specifically for applications where precise
positioning and reliable repeatability must be combined with very small joining forces. Typically,
the new module will be ideal for manual and automated assembly of small and miniature components
such as inserting small bearings and gear wheels into miniature gearboxes. Based on the well proven
design of Kistleršs large joining modules, the new module uses integrated force-displacement
monitoring to achieve 100% quality assurance throughout the joining phase. (Stand 856)
RDP Electronics to exhibit comprehensive transducer range
Transducer solutions specialists RDP Electronics Ltd will be showing the latest developments in
sensor technology at the show. Offering a comprehensive range of transducers, which includes load
cells, pressure sensors, LVDTs, torque and magnetostrictive transducers complete with
instrumentation and measurement software; RDP are specialists in providing cost effective solutions
to a broad range of measurement needs, right from the point of measurement through to PC display of
data. (Stand 872)

National Instruments continue innovation at show
Visit stand 820 in the MTEC hall to experience the latest NI product
innovations in virtual instrumentation through modular hardware,
powerful software, and advanced COTS (custom off-the-shelf Systems)
platforms.
They will showcase the latest addition to the data acquisition
family, Wi-Fi DAQ. NI Wi-Fi data acquisition (DAQ) devices combine
IEEE 802.11 wireless or Ethernet communication, direct sensor
connectivity, and the flexibility of NI LabVIEW software for remote
monitoring of electrical, physical, mechanical, and acoustical
signals. With built-in signal conditioning and the highest
commercially available network security, NI Wi-Fi DAQ devices stream
data in real time for easy-to-use, high-performance remote
measurements.
New format for UKIVA seminars at VTX Exhibition
The UK Industrial Vision Association (UKIVA) has restructured its programme of free seminars for mtec's co-located
Vision Technology Exhibition (VTX). In an exciting innovation, the 'Vision For
All' programme will contain a conference session, hosted by UKIVA member Imaging & Machine Vision
Europe, featuring four practical case studies, presented by the end users themselves. Each paper
will last for 15-20 minutes and will offer a detailed example of a real-life, working machine vision
installation, with the emphasis on the user/customer and their experiences of using machine vision
rather than rather than from the vendor's perspective. Aspects to be covered will include:
identifying the initial problem; the tendering exercise; site survey; installation (time/disruption
etc), commissioning, operation, cost, and the subsequent savings and improvements resulting from the
use of the vision system.
Versatile Camera Technology Highlighted
Stemmer Imaging (formerly Firstsight Vision) will be showing the Spyder 3 Colour CameraLink
linescan camera from Dalsa for the first time at VTX. Based on the established Spyder 3 dual line
scan monochrome model, this camera provides high colour fidelity, flexibility, and excellent
price/performance. The red and blue colour pixels alternate in one line and all the green pixels are
in the other line with no spacing between the lines. The camera offers several colour output format
options, including RGB, RG/BG, or G only to meet different imaging requirements.
Manufacturing in the UK is changing and Canon Communications is leading
the way for UK manufacturers with a series of co-located exhibitions to
create a unique forum for all the new, innovative technologies and
strategies that UK companies of every size can utilise to help them
increase quality and productivity while also reducing costs and adopting
environmentally-friendly processes.
From industrial automation, high-precision and lean manufacturing
technologies as well as green manufacturing processes, we combine with a comprehensive array of the products and services used in the life
sciences and medical technology industries to create an unrivalled forum
for future of UK manufacturing.
Be sure to attend Birmingham NEC on 25-26 March 2009, featuring a series
of co-located specialised events featuring over 500 exhibitors,
world-class conferences, cutting-edge lectures & workshops and numerous
free presentations.
