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.
Fractional pulse rate rotary encoders are often used in conveyor and web applications to simplify control system setup. Often used to simply determine a linear displacement in baggage handling and other material handling lines, flexibility and reliability are more important than high resolution.
A transmission manufacturer recently faced a challenging situation involving the Positek P100 in-cylinder linear sensors. This case study explores the problem encountered, the innovative and swift solution provided by Positek and Everight, and the ultimate satisfaction of the customer.
When a worldwide leader in gas valves needed a partner to develop a new linear sensor for an upcoming product rollout, they turned to Everight Position and Positek. This collaboration was aimed at creating a sensor that not only met stringent regulatory requirements for hazardous locations but also offered versatility in terms of stroke lengths, catering to the broad product lineup.
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.
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.
