Parts cleaning and pre-treatment, electroplating technology, painting technology, blasting technology, industrial plasma surface technology, measuring, testing and analysis equipment and services will be discussed at the Hannover Messe under the umbrella of the SurfaceTechnology Area.

Tridonic has launched a series of sensors that detect movement and ambient light. They are compatible with standard Dali 2 control units and can be integrated into lighting and building management systems.

Sensors and measurement technology
This year, Sensor+Test has introduced the special forum for sensor and measurement technology in process automation. It covers popular topics and the forum is almost fully booked.

The Ray10 and Ray26 reflex array sensors from Sick can detect leading edges just a few millimeters high and therefore reliably detect flat and position-tolerant objects.

3plusplus has developed software for the non-contact inspection of undercuts. For this purpose, an optical profile sensor is integrated directly into the production line or into an out-of-line device.

Keller has introduced the enhanced ARC-1 data logger with remote transmission unit.

Special sensor manufacturer EGE offers the STD flow monitor with aseptic Varivent-F process adaptation for monitoring the flow of aqueous or oily media in hygienic applications.
