International competition: Torpedo drilled its way into the final
Stefan Schneider | WIKA insightBeing faster than a snail is a tremendous challenge for a tunnel boring machine. Students at DHBW Mosbach have mastered this, and have made it through to the final of an international competition with the “Dirt Torpedo”. WIKA co-sponsored the project by providing …
What advantages does a cable box have for submersible pressure sensors?
Oleg Greber | Know-howA cable box for submersible pressure sensors for level detection is an inconspicuous and simple accessory. With its help, the installation costs for certain measuring locations can be significantly reduced. Submersible pressure sensors measure the hydrostatic …
Pressure transducers in semiconductor manufacturing: There’s no way around UHP
Fabian Mayer | Know-howThe production of semiconductors places high demands on pressure measurement technology. Pressure transducers there, for example, are deployed in a UHP “ultra high purity”) design. This article explores the question of why such high-quality instruments are …
Sensor status always in view with diagnostic function and IO-Link
Haydar Kartal | Know-howIs the measuring instrument still working as it should? Pressure sensors with integrated diagnostic function and IO-Link provide information about their status at a glance. What this means in detail can be illustrated using the example of model A-1200 sensor from WIKA. …
