    New: Intelligent SDI-12 depth sensor with microprocessor makes complex readings simple!

    Pa993D SDI-12 submersible depth sensor
    The Pa993D SDI-12 submersible depth sensor has a built-in 16-bit microprocessor which enables it to perform complex high-level linearisation, temperature compensation plus self-calibrations via the SDI-12 communication protocol.  Plus, the integrated temperature sensor also offers built-in density correction, all of which delivers optimum stability and ensures high accuracy of less than ±0.15% full scale (0.1% optional).

    As the embedded microprocessor inside the depth sensor controls the SDI-12 interface, it can accept instructions from a datalogger, perform the measurements and complex calculations, then transfers the data back to the datalogger via the SDI-12 communication protocol.

    How to measure grip strength of an eagle for BBC Natural World

    Last year, we were asked to design a sensor to measure the grip strength of a golden eagle named Tilly, for the award-winning BBC documentary series, Natural World.

    Challenge – to find a load cell that could withstand the estimated grip strength of an eagle.

    As Tilly had been trained to catch and grip a tennis ball, the load cell needed to be small enough to fit inside a similar-sized measuring device yet withstand Tilly’s tremendous grip strength.

    Thanks to their unique design, our DBBSMM miniature s-beam load cells were ideal for the job.  Not only are they very compact but their s-shaped design offers superior side-load rejection and high accuracy.

    State-of-the-Art Sensors for Oldest Working Beam Engine in the World

    The Boulton and Watt steam engine, originally installed in 1812, is the oldest working beam engine in the world.

    It is on this 200-year-old steam engine that engineers want to install the latest state-of-the-art sensors and instrumentation to monitor position, speed and acceleration of the piston.

    This Mechatronics Project – ‘marrying 200 years of technology’ – has 5 main aims.

    1. To understand the impact on the engine when running at full load.
    2. To explore engine efficiency.
    3. To illustrate to visitors the internal workings of the engine in real-time.
    4. To display information to less-able visitors unable to climb the stairs.
    5. To provide data for educational and research projects at all levels.

    Read how they monitored the position of the piston.
