02.06.2018 | Author / Editor: Katharina Juschkat / Lina Klass

At this year's Sensor + Test trade fair for sensor technology, measuring and testing technology, there will be two conventions, as well as exhibitor forums, an action programme - and lots of new products. We present 20 product novelties that will be shown at Sensor + Test.

At this year's Sensor+Test, around 580 exhibitors will present their latest products in the field of sensor and measurement technology, such as connectors from Fraunhofer EMFT, which are becoming intelligent thanks to miniaturized sensor systems.

This year Sensor+Test will not take place until the end of June from 26 to 28 June. In addition to the classic exhibition, visitors have many opportunities to obtain comprehensive information on the latest developments in sensor, measuring and testing technology. This year, the trade fair in Nuremberg, Germany attracts around 580 exhibitors from all over the world. We have summarized a selection of the products that will be exhibited at the fair:

Fraunhofer Institute for Microsystems and Solid State Technologies presents intelligent connectors. Miniaturized electronic sensor systems are integrated into the connector in order to monitor the current connection quality. Energy consumption, faulty conditions or temperature, for example, can be recorded this way. The parameters can be read wirelessly using a tablet or smartphone. Co-exhibitor of the Strategic Partnership Sensor Technology e.V.: Hall 1, Booth 324.

All4cloud shows an IoT scenario for condition-based maintenance. Based on the cloud ERP solution SAP Business By Design and the specialized add-on eam4cloud, the 100% Cloud Company has developed a scenario in which the machine itself notifies the service. At the same time, most of the process is automated. The data is supplied by sensors. At the fair all4cloud will exhibit in hall 5, booth 106.

Amsys presents the HTU(F)3500 series of analogue humidity sensors in a small plug and play plastic housing. The humidity sensors consist of a capacitive measuring cell, an integrated temperature sensor and an evaluation circuit (ASIC). This ASIC enables the transformation of the capacitive signal into a DC voltage and digitizes the signal in an internal ADC. The modules can be used in many areas such as medical and biotechnology, mould and corrosion prevention or device monitoring.

Bogen Electronic GmbH offers a new encoder for magnetic absolute measurements, the AKP18, with an extremely small size: with a length of 22 mm, a width of 6 mm and a height of 3 mm, it can also be implemented in small installation spaces. The resolution is 18 to 20 bits. When using the BISS-C output configuration, up to 8 encoders can be connected in series. The manufacturer can be found in hall 5, stand 171.

The Sensor + Test will again be accompanied by two specialist congresses: According to the organizers, the 19th ITG/GMA conference "Sensors and Measurement Systems" is the most important conference on sensor and measurement technology in German-speaking countries. It is jointly supported by two organizations of the German Association of Electrical Engineering: the ITG (organization for information technology) and the GMA (organization for measurement and automation technology).

In addition, the European Society of Telemetry is organising the ettc2018 (European Test and Telemetry Conference) in cooperation with Sensor + Test in Nuremberg for the third time. The ettc2018 - with conference and accompanying exhibition in Hall 2 - is the European platform for telemetry, test instrumentation and telecontrol.

Furthermore, the exhibitors at Sensor + Test will also be presenting their latest developments, products and applications at the specialist forums in Halls 1 and 5, which are open to visitors free of charge on all three days of the fair.

The practical demonstrations and rides in instrumented test vehicles on the action area in the exhibition park are particularly attractive and extremely popular with visitors: Automotive testing can thus be experienced live.
