Temperature sensors for vending machines Vending machines contain a number of sensors and switches which monitor various parameters such as temperature and movement. Whether it’s a table-top machine vending ‘bean to cup’ coffee or ice-cold slushies, a point-of-use water...
Our range of pressure sensors includes: Pressure transducers Pressure switches For applications where true pressure requires measuring then a pressure transducer is required. For applications which have pressure limits, a pressure switch is often used. Pressure switches have a set...
What is Green Energy? Green energy is any type of energy which comes from a natural source – such as wind, water, sunlight etc and is renewable – although not all renewable energy is also green energy. Another feature of green energy is that it must not harm the environment...
But draw wire sensors have been around for over half a century, making their debut in places like Bell Labs in the 60’s, used to measure linear displacement in conjunction with a resistive potentiometer. These early draw wire sensors resembled nothing so much as modified fishing reels,...
What is a Waterproof Switch? A waterproof switch is a device used to open/close circuits which is able to function fully in wet environments. Switches from CPI operate using a basic snap action contact mechanism. They are small in size and are flat and lightweight. To ensure they are fully...
What is a position sensor? A position sensor is a type of electro mechanical device which gives feedback on movement and position. This could be either rotary movement, linear movement or sometimes detection of movement within a certain area depending on the application in hand. Types of...
