Machine Tool Sensors
-
Lion Precision’s machine tool inspection capabilities allow you to quickly pinpoint errors that lead to machine downtime and unnecessary scrap. Whether those errors are temperature, position, or dynamic, using our machine tool sensors, we measure machine tools at full operating speeds to drive informed decisions regarding spindle rebuilds, machine acceptance, and job assignments. From production engineers looking for best or worst operating speeds, to production supervisors looking to determine the best machine for a job, or machine builders trying to embed real-time sensing technology to improve a machine’s performance, we have decades of experience helping manufacturers be more productive using our machine tool sensors.

Cryogenic Temperature Sensors
Capacitance
-
CS capacitance sensors are ideally suited for use as cryogenic temperature control sensors in strong magnetic fields because they exhibit virtually no magnetic field dependence. Displacement current is not affected by magnetic fields. Consequently, temperature control fluctuations are kept to a minimum when sweeping magnetic field or when changing field values under constant temperature operation.

S2 Spectra Sensors
ULP-S2 WBI/V
LED Sensor
The ULP S2 Spectra Sensor tests for LED intensity, and for any color in the visual spectrum, plus white. The S2 Spectra Sensor is well-suited for the test of “boundary” color LEDs, as it can unambiguously and repeatedly distinguish between not only adjacent visual colors such as green and yellow, but it can determine different hues of the same color such as yellow and amber, regardless of LED intensity. Implemented in a unique and customizable 2-Part solution, the S2 Spectra Sensor is assembled with your choice of Fiber-Optic Probe, including for the test of densely-spaced LEDs, bright LEDs, dim or misaligned LEDs, right-angle LEDs, and more, including the popular “Trident” Fiber-Optic Probes to sequentially test 3 LEDs with a single Sensor.Operating temperature range: 0oC to 70oCPower consumption: Operates between +5 and 28 volts D.C., at 6mA max.

Seismic Sensors & Transducers
-
Displacement Pickups are vibration transducers that incorporate a spring-mass system with eddy-current damping using a frictionless pivot. This pivot is a spring flexure that serves as the ‘spring’ and a moment arm attached to the pivot serves as the ‘mass’, which allows resolutions down to the micro inch range. At frequencies above 50Hz, the mass remains fixed in space and becomes an inertial reference.

-
Acoustic wave (acoustic emission) sensors are the ceramic piezoelectric transducers converting the mechanical elastic acoustic waves generated in the material (e.g. elastic waves occur when a material cracks, wears, deforms, or corrodes) to electrical signals. The electrical signals are then amplified and filtered by a preamplifier and then transmitted to a special acoustic emission acquisition instrument for further data processing and analysis.
