Pre-programmed autonomous water sampler
AWS1000-2L / AWS1000-5L
A compact and affordable water sampler system carrying up to 10 water sampling bottles of 2 L and/or 5 L was designed to be used in many different conditions, including in small vessels equipped with a crane (we recommend a crane that is able to lift at least 300 kg). The system has a built-in pressure sensor, but it was also designed to be equipped with our CTD instrument from ASTD series that allows for more options of sensors to be used and simplifies upgrades when necessary. The CTD and the water sampling bottles can be easily attached and/or detached from the frame which allows for different configurations and also an expedite maintenance.

Contrast Sensors
Leuze electronic GmbH + Co. KG
Contrast sensors detect and compare contrasts very precisely through the use of different light sources such as white light, laser-generated red light or RGB light. The detected contrasts marks are then reported to the process with minimal signal jitter. Through the automatic selection of the right transmitter colors, various color or gray value combinations can be reliably detected. Bar graph indicators offer additional ease in making adjustments during manual setup.

Hyperspectral Imaging Sensors
HYPERSPEC® sensors are line-scanning instruments (sometimes called pushbroom) that collect reflected light through an image slit. One row of spatial pixels is collected per frame as motion occurs, with each pixel containing full spectral data. Motion can be accomplished in two ways: either as an airborne deployment (UAV, aircraft, or satellite) or stationary (where motion is accomplished beneath the sensor, such as a food inspection line). A third option is also available where pan-and-tilt or rotary stages allow a fixed-location sensor to scan a stationary object (such as a piece of artwork, or a mine face for geological applications).
