A pressure transducer is capable of accurately measuring pressure. It converts applied pressure into an electric signal and can be classified as an active or passive pressure measurement device. Various designs of pressure transducers are available depending on whether absolute or relative pressure measurements are required. Originally developed to measure minimal pressure changes, pressure transducers gained widespread […]

As part of increased automation and Industry 4.0 developments, robots had to become ‘smarter.’1 Regarding automation, smarter robots are those with more advanced sensors that have the ability to be integrated with data analysis and feedback systems. One of the most common robot types in the industry are robotic arms. They have many uses, from lifting […]

Pressure sensors are essential safety and logistic equipment in a number of underwater applications. For scuba diving, a reliable depth gauge or diving watch is crucial to estimating diving depth and ensuring safe ascent and descent. Historically, many dive watches and depth gauges have been analog designs. Digital pressure sensors have several advantages over analog […]
