Ion selective electrodes are highly sensitive electrochemical sensors used to measure the concentration of specific ions in liquid solutions. Also known as ISEs, they enable fast, accurate, and selective ion concentration measurement without complex sample preparation. These electrodes are widely used in water quality monitoring, environmental testing, laboratory analysis, and industrial process control. With a wide measurement range, stable performance, and cost-effective operation, ISEs have become essential analytical tools for both routine testing and advanced research applications.

Electric motors are the driving force behind modern industry and everyday technology, converting electrical energy into mechanical motion. From household appliances to large-scale industrial machinery, motors play a vital role in countless applications.

A constant-pressure water supply system is essential for applications where stable water pressure directly affects performance and reliability. In traditional pump systems, fixed-speed motors or manual valve adjustments often lead to pressure fluctuations, higher energy consumption, and increased mechanical wear. By using the GK3000 upgraded Variable Frequency Drive with built-in PID control, a fully automated pump control solution can be implemented. Combined with a pressure sensor, the system automatically regulates pump speed to maintain stable water pressure under varying load conditions. This article provides a complete guide to the system architecture, wiring method, parameter configuration, and commissioning process for a GK3000-based constant-pressure water supply system.

Star-delta starters are widely used in industrial motor control systems to optimize the startup performance of high-power three-phase induction motors. By controlling the motor’s connection mode during startup and normal operation, they effectively reduce inrush current and mechanical stress, ensuring smoother acceleration and more stable system operation.

Weighing indicators, also known as weight displays, scale controllers, or digital scale heads—are the core processing units of any electronic weighing system. Whether used in a truck scale, warehouse platform scale, packaging line, batching system, or livestock scale, the weighing indicator determines overall system accuracy, stability, and functionality.

Label sensor is a sensing device that achieves automated detection and control by identifying the presence, position, or status of labels. It is widely used in scenarios such as packaging, printing, and logistics to meet the needs of precise identification. They not only avoid the errors and inefficiencies of manual inspection but also optimize automated processes through real-time feedback data, reduce enterprise operating costs, and minimize resource waste, making them indispensable core sensing components in modern automation systems. For this reason, we provides you with the following ATO label sensor price list, hoping to help you understand our label sensors, enabling you to quickly find high-quality products that suit your specific scenarios while balancing performance needs and budget planning.

In our modern, technology-driven world, the ability to accurately monitor our environment is crucial. At the heart of many safety, efficiency, and research applications lies a precision instrument: the Oxygen (O2) Sensor. But what exactly is it, and how does it work? An oxygen sensor is a device designed to detect and measure the concentration of oxygen in a gas or liquid. By providing real-time, accurate data, these sensors play a silent yet vital role in everything from ensuring the air we breathe in industrial settings is safe, to optimizing a car's fuel consumption, and even supporting life-saving medical equipment.

A weighing indicator is the central control unit of any weighing system. It receives the low-voltage signals generated by the load cell, amplifies and processes them, and converts them into clear, stable weight readings on the display. Whether used in a laboratory balance, an industrial platform scale, or a weighbridge system, the weighing scale indicator’s accuracy directly affects the reliability of every measurement.

A weighing indicator serves as the control center of any weighing system. It receives electrical signals from load cells, processes them into accurate, easy-to-read weight values, and can transmit real-time data to external devices or networks for further analysis or automation. Serving as the central hub of the weighing system, it not only displays weight but also supports advanced functions such as data recording and remote monitoring.

An Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) is an electronic device that uses inertial sensing technology to measure an object's three-axis attitude (or angular rate) and acceleration. It acts like a device's "inner ear" and "balance system," capable of determining its own motion state in space through self-sensing without external signals (such as GPS or Wi-Fi). From smartphones in our pockets to drones soaring in the sky, and spacecraft exploring the unknown, the IMU is a core component for achieving autonomous navigation, attitude stabilization, and motion tracking.

Shopping for a suitable digital inclinometer can be quite overwhelming.
