HBM’s T10FM torque flange, designed to
meet the need for increased measuring
ranges, has a combined linearity and hysteresis
of 0.1%. The transducer’s short axial
design allows high lateral forces and excellent
radial stiffness. The T10FM is available
in three sizes with normal torques of 15, 20,
and 25 kN•m (size 1); 30, 40, and 45
kN•m (size 2); and 50, 60, and 70 kN•m
(size 3). The maximum rotational speed of
the device depends on its size but ranges
from 3,000 to 6,000 rpm. The
Tl0FM has no slip rings or
bearings, and it requires no
maintenance. The torque
flange is powered by 18 to 30
V dc, and two standard outputs
are available: 10 ±5 kHz
full scale and ±10 V fs. Measuring
amplifiers are easily linked to other devices
using standard interfaces such as RS232/485,
Printport, Interbus S, and Profibus DP.

Luminance Detector
Gigahertz-Optik has introduced a new
viewing module, the LDM-9810. Combining
it with the company’s PD-16VL01
plug-in photometric
detector
and any of its
optometers
forms a luminance
measurement
system with a viewable and sizable target
spot. The module has an achromatically
corrected 50-mm lens and excellent suppression
of stray light. Users can select fields
of view of 20´, 1°, or 6° with the twist of a
knob. The measurement spot is visible
through an ocular viewfinder, and a crosshair
targeting aid makes alignment simple
over a measurement distance from 0.3 m to
infinity. The photometric detector has a
photopic adaptation error of less than 3%.
Applications include brightness measurements
of monitor screens, alphanumeric
displays, and illuminated control panels.

High-Speed Camera
PCO has introduced its new pco.1200
hs complementary metal oxide semiconductor
camera system,
which
provides users an
image rate of 635 fps at its
full resolution of 1,280 × 1,024 pixels.
Reducing the area imaged further increases the
image rate. The pco.1200’s exposure
time ranges from 50 ns to 5 s, and its
10-bit pixels provide a memory of up to 4
gigabytes and an image data transfer
rate of 1 gigabyte per second. Its ring
buffer operation mode enables the
use of post triggers to catch the
sequence of interest. The camera connects
to a personal computer with standard
interfaces, such as IEEE1394, USB
2.0, and Gigabit Ethernet.

Pressure Gauge
Dresser’s new Ashcroft digital gauge,
designed for use in tough industrial environments,
comes in three models—the basic
2074, and the 2174 and 2274, which have
options such as 4–20-mA output and SPDT
switches. All three models have a large display
and easy-to-use, password-protected
menu options, which include 12 engineering
units and a menu-configuration feature.
Safety features include pressure ranges on
the keypad and a bar graph to reduce the
possibility of accidental overpressure.
The proof pressure equals two times
the gauge range, and it meets the ASME
B40.7 standard. Users have a choice of
three weatherproof case styles: all-welded
stainless steel, fiberglass-reinforced
thermoplastic, or cast aluminum.

of any
wafer type
up to 6 in. on standard dicing tape frames
with no damage to the tape. It also enables
breaking and stretching for pick-and-place
die transfers, and the processing of partial
wafers without tape damage.

laser enables

at 100 kHz,
and its ~13-s
pulses ablate
the target material without heating and
adversely affecting the areas near it. The
laser’s high pulse-repetition rate creates higher
micromachining throughput, and the Staccato’s
13-ps-long pulses produce cut-quality
in metal essentially identical to that of femtosecond
lasers, but do so faster. At 50 kHz,
the laser produces ~15 MW/cm2 of peak
power at 1,064 nm, which can be focused to
a few micrometers. The Staccato fits the
need to cut or drill materials 1 mm thick
or less. Removal rates vary. For stainless
steel, the rate ranges from 1 mm3 in 20 s
for surface work to 200 s for high-aspectratio
drilling.

Design Package
Ansoft has released HFSS 9.2, aimed at
meeting the needs of companies to create
and verify increasingly complex, high-speed
integrated circuits (ICs). Designers use
HFSS to work in a broad class of highspeed
and high-frequency applications,
including ICs and microwave/radiofrequency
devices. The latest version of
HFSS doubles the size of addressable
three-dimensional designs, enhances the
user’s ability to automatically generate and
manage electromagnetic-based design
libraries, and provides seamless threedimensional
electromagnetic circuit and system
co-simulation. HFSS 9.2’s most broadly
applicable feature is increased access to a
full 3 gigabytes of memory on Windowsbased
personal computers.

Flow Visualization
Dynaflow’s new 2DFlow allows the visualization
of flows induced by distribution
singularities such as vortices, dipoles, and
sources. Designed for professional and educational
use, the software quickly produces
graphic representations of many classic
fluid-dynamics problems, and it illustrates
the use of potential flow theory by combining
a uniform flow with a variety of singularities
to simulate a wide range of fluidmechanics
problems. 2DFlow has a
user-friendly graphical interface to access
its commonly used functions and features,
which include point-and-click singularity
insertion and editing, two- and
three-dimensional graphical representation
of flow quantities, and interactive
animation of the flow field.
