How Ultrasonic Sensors Can Be Used in Mining Equipment

In mining, mineral and metal processing technology is essential. This technology separates the valuable minerals from waste which is usually done so using magnets.

How Electronic Flow Sensors Help Spread Road Salt

Salt spreading trucks use a pre-wetting system when ice needs to be removed from roads and the temperatures are too low for direct salt spreading to work. The machine is in need of sensors that are capable of being used in very cold temperatures.

Agricultural Seed Planter Depth Control Using Pressure Transducers

Since its invention, the seed planting machine has helped to greatly increase harvest yield. Today’s machines have adjustable downforce to make planting accuracy even easier.

Level Sensors for Low Coolant Warning in Earth Movers

Earth movers are some of the biggest and heaviest equipment in the off highway vehicle (OHV) industry. Keeping these machines running properly is critical so they can continue to dig, push, and transport earth.

Gems Sensors Keep Off-Highway Vehicles Running Reliably and Safely

From harsh environments to high shock and vibration and extreme temperatures, Off-Highway Vehicles (OHV) are exposed to conditions that test their limits. And in this industry, time lost due to equipment malfunctions can be extremely costly and disruptive events.
