F77 series ultrasonic sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs are especially designed to fit in tight spaces, but this is only the beginning of what they have to offer.
The data handling of many sensors that scan a single target, called multi-sensor networking, is an important capability to support large object applications.
Advancements in borescope technology over the past ten years have helped to facilitate the wider adoption of these instruments throughout many organizations.
If something exists that really has the ability to multitask, then it would be a machine vision system: they inspect, guide machines, control sequences, identify component parts, read codes and deliver valuable data for optimizing production. And this all can be carried out at nearly the same time.
