Offshore production has lost much of its past glamour. While cost was once a major factor in outsourcing manufacturing, rising wages, quality issues and unstable supply chains are prompting many manufacturers to reconsider the benefits of reshoring production back on U.S. soil. Macro Sensors already maintains much of its manufacturing at its Pennsauken, New Jersey headquarters, producing linear and rotary position sensors that are “Made in the USA”.
Macro Sensors introduces a new joint catalog with sister company American Sensor Technologies (AST) on the companies’ UHV / Cryogenic Pressure and Position Sensor Capabilities. The companies manufacture LVDT linear position and MEMs-based pressure sensors that withstand cryogenic gas temperatures as well as high temperature processing environments with high accuracy and stability.
Recent media focus on aircraft tracking technology underscores significant gaps in traditional approaches (radar, transponder, Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B), and radio communication). These technologies, or combinations of them, are typically used by the scheduled commercial air transport sector (refer to Figure 1). The gaps are particularly relevant when tracking aircraft in remote areas where traditional tracking infrastructure can be limited, for instance, outside radar coverage.
Alliance Sensors Group is pleased to announce the ME Series Linear Position Sensors for embedded use in measuring the ram position of hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders in industrial, mobile, or subsea applications.
The world’s global positioning industry watched in disbelief on April 2, 2014, as all of the 24 GLONASS satellites that make up Russia’s equivalent of the GPS system failed at once. This unprecedented and deeply worrying total disruption of what is one half of the world’s operational global navigation satellite constellations shook the industry, and unequivocally confirmed the public warnings that have been voiced for years by Locata Corporation and other prominent industry experts.
Non-contact laser line displacement sensors from Micro-Epsilon are playing a pivotal role in the automatic positioning of synchroniser discs during production. The discs, which are manufactured for use in automatic vehicle transmissions, need to be accurately positioned under a laser prior to deburring.

Precision sensor manufacturer Micro-Epsilon has published a new brochure for the automotive industry, which includes 28 visually stunning application examples of how Micro-Epsilon sensors and measurement systems are providing benefits for customers in development, testing, production and quality assurance.
Configured with a float, Macro Sensors HSIR Series LVDT Linear Position Transmitters are serving as level sensors to measure liquid level changes from a few inches to several feet in gauging tank level volumes.
The challenge in monitoring aging transportation infrastructureand effects of increasing traffic (loads) on bridges. Contemporary technologies allow bridge monitoring extricate from periodic human inspections, instead to rely on electronically monitoring structures’ health, therefore, bridges can be maintained and repaired before any structural integrity problem could develop.
