Hazardous Environment Options

While finding the right sensor solution for ‘Hazardous Environments’ may be more complicated, it doesn’t mean that it can’t be done. Everight can’t replace a Safety Engineer, but Everight can help navigate linear, rotary sensor and inclinometer sensors that have been formally rated for use in hazardous environments to ATEX, IECEx and CSA requirements.

Not all hazardous environments are created equally. In addition to sensor specification, it is important to understand the hazard that is present and what formal certification may be necessary.

Technical Notes

Finding Balance on the World’s Tallest Ferris Wheel

In a groundbreaking endeavor to construct what would become the world’s tallest Ferris/observation wheel, a major gondola provider sought the expertise of Everight Position to specify an inclinometer that would ensure the safety and comfort of the passengers. The POSITAL ACS dual axis inclinometer was chosen as the ideal solution for measuring the tilt angle of each pod.

Role of Rotary Encoders in Humanoids

There is a phrase in Silicon Valley, ‘Fail and Fail Fast.’ The idea is that time is money, and if you can’t quickly scale up an idea to a prototype it will soon create so much debt that it is not a feasible business proposition. With that sense of urgency, when an emerging leader in humanoid robotics faced a critical challenge in finding the right rotary encoder for a joint on their prototype humanoid, they turned to Everight Position for a solution. This case study explores how Everight Position not only met these demands but also provided unwavering technical support that helped achieve deadlines and performance milestones.

Solar Tracking

Tracking systems are crucial for maximizing the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) solar installations. By continuously adjusting the orientation of solar panels to follow the sun’s movement across the sky, tracking systems significantly increase energy output compared to fixed-mount systems.

Robust Linear Sensors for Rocket Launch

Spacecraft launches present a uniquely demanding environment for sensors. The extreme conditions encountered during liftoff require sensors with exceptional ruggedness, reliability, and resistance to harsh environmental factors. For example, rockets generate immense vibrations, sound waves and shock loads during liftoff.

Replacing an Obsolescent Euchner Encoder

Maintaining the functionality of legacy equipment is often a challenge, especially when critical components become obsolete. The inability to replace a $300 component can make a $30,000 machine inoperable.
