React immediately to production line
surprises! Make tough qualitative and quantitative decisions faster and easier!
Sensors - those clever devices
that sense, measure, and detect deviations and provide for continuous correction
- hold the key.
Packed with page after page of hard-to-find information,
Sensors
Handbook gives you the know-how to use cost-effective sensors and
simple control devices for a near error-free manufacturing environment. |
|
|
Editor Sabrie Soloman - an advanced manufacturing technology expert - introduces
you to the full rance of state-of-the-art sensor applications: |
-
Air bubble detection sensors
in plastic, glass or metal-tubing operations
-
Sensors in imaging and electronic
pressure scanning
-
Temperature sensors for the
aerospace, military, and nuclear industries
-
Physical and chemical sensors
for process control
-
Sensors for the electrical power
industry, including current, magnetic field, voltage, fault-locating, and
and temperature sensors
-
And much, much more
|

Sensors perform a a vital function in the operation and control of industrial
systems and scientific equipment. This guide offers advice on selecting
and using the optimum sensor for any given application. It is the first
comprehensive handbook for engineers and scientists on the use of sensors
to measure size, speed, color, temperature, pressure, volume, flow-rate,
orientation, and other characteristics in the management of complex processes. |
|
Readers will also find descriptions of hands-on applications in fields
ranging from manufacturing engineering, aerospace, and defense, to pharmaceuticals,
medicine, agriculture, and the environment. |
