The SnapShock® 4000 is a compact, battery powered, single axis peak acceleration, date, and time recorder. The instrument measures and records the peak acceleration (shock or vibration) levels to which it is exposed, along with their date and times of occurrence. (read more)

Phase masks are traditionally surface relief gratings etched in fused silica for use in the ultra-violet range (193 nm to ~ 400 nm). Because of etching limitations during fabrication, the ratio of grating period divided by the illuminating light wavelength is limited to values greater than 1. (read more)

Saving energy, while keeping your cool, is everyone's goal. But saving energy must be a deliberate action on the part of management and begins with an understanding of how your company uses energy. A good place to start is a survey that shows how you use energy to produce heat, compressed air, hot water, processes and movements. (read more)

The EP1217 / EP1227 family of solid state motor timers are command systems which employ a conformal coated, open panel circuit board assembly. The controls include a digital timer circuit and integral air switch mounted to a double-sided fiberglass printed circuit board. (read more)

Linear Encoder Advancements Make More Possible with Less

The photonics and semiconductor industries are very complex, and there is much interdependency. Machines related to both these industries (from fiber alignment stages to optical inspection systems) all have a few things in common despite th... (read more)

The Laureate Model FR is a UL-listed, 6-digit panel-mount frequency meter which can display AC line frequency to 50.0000 or 60.0000 Hz with 0.0001 Hz resolution in a few AC line cycles with quartz crystal accuracy. 1000 Hz signals may be read to 0.01 Hz at up to 25 readings/sec. The frequency range is 0.05 Hz to 1 MHz. The unit can also serve as a fast and flexible scalable rate meter. (read more)

At any given time, somewhere in the world, 20 volcanoes are erupting. Of course, most do not pose the immediate threat to human life that, say, the Mount. St. Helens eruption did in 1980. That volcano killed 57 people, spawned mud flows that choked the Columbia River, leveled hundreds of square miles of forests and showered distant communities with volcanic ash. (read more)

Data collected from a Setra Systems pressure sensor (Model 239) gave seismologists new insights into the eruption of the Shishaldin volcano on Unimak Island, Alaska. (read more)
