Featured Product
The Flo-Check USB represents the next generation of hydraulic test equipment. This technologically advanced device simultaneously measures flow, pressure, temperature and power within a hydraulic system. Data is displayed and logged through a custom Windows®-based software application; data is received from the Analyzer through a standard USB cable (both software and cable are included with the unit). The unit is bi-directional and includes a low-resistance load valve and internal pressure relief discs. www.flo-tech.com

***CX1030 High End Embedded PC***
BURNSVILLE, MN: In order to provide automation and control applications with the most powerful PC-based controllers possible, Beckhoff Automation has announced the new CX1030 Embedded PC. The DIN rail mounted CX1030 is equipped with a 1.8 GHz Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor and is currently the most powerful device in the Beckhoff Embedded PC family. The CX1030 CPU is cooled by a passive cooling module and an easily exchangeable fan cartridge located on the underside of the housing. In addition to the CPU and the chipset, the CX1030 module contains 256 MB DDR RAM (standard), which is expandable to 512 MB or 1 GB. Operating without the use of a hard drive, Beckhoff Embedded PCs boot from Compact Flash. The Compact Flash cards are available in 64 MB as well as 1-, 2- and 4 GB. ---Beckhoff Automation

***Slim Fiber-Optic Sensor E3X-DAC Delivers True Color Detection of Marks and Workpieces***
SCHAUMBURG, IL: White LED fiber-optic sensor detectS true colors in marks and workpieces. Measurements are independent of the light intensity and any sensing distance variations caused by vibration. The slim, 10mm wide amplifier unit processes color detection through a technologically advanced RGB light-receiving element. The use of a single White LED and one-package light-receiving element unifies the amplifier in both size and operation, thus lowering cost compared to conventional three-LED amplifiers. One-touch teaching simplifies setup in registering colors and smart functions optimize positioning of target objects for detection. A wide range of Omron E32-Series sensing heads can be combined with the amplifier to match application requirements. Amplifiers capable of detecting two different colors simultaneously provide agility for flexible manufacturing. The E3X-DAC measures changes in the three parameters (RGB) and processes them as a ratio, so they are not affected by light-intensity variations due to workpiece movement. ---Omron Electronics LLC
