New application notes provide detailed instructions on obtaining micron and nanometer level displacement and position measurements with capacitive and eddy-current non-contact displacement sensors.
High-Performance capacitive displacement sensors are used in mounting large, thin mirrors in X-ray telescopes. Laser sensors could not be made to work.
Japanese users now have direct local access to product and sensor application expertise for Lion Precision high-performance noncontact displacement sensors.
Micro-machining requires high levels of machine performance. A new tool enables users and designers to measure and characterize performance, at operational spindle speeds, in light of thermal growth, vibration, and spindle error motions.
ASPE (American Society for Precision Engineering) has given the 2010 Distinguished Service award to Don Martin for 20 years of service in many capacities.
Lion Precision and other Minnesota businesses accompanied Governor Tim Pawlenty on a trade mission to China where these businesses were able to make contacts with Chinese trade officials and begin connecting with local organizations to represent their products in China.
Lion Precision and NASA will collaborate on the development of a smart sensor to monitor valve closure, valve wear, and sensor health, as well as the associated communication protocol.
