DM-SC08 8-Port IO-Link Master, IP67

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 09:33:23 +0000

Overview

The DM-SC08 brings eight IO-Link sensors onto an industrial Ethernet network from a field-mounted box, removing the need to run individual analogue or discrete cables back to the cabinet. Each port is class A, so standard three-wire sensor cable works, and the master stores the parameter set for every connected device.

Parameter storage is the feature that changes maintenance. When a sensor is replaced, the master writes the stored parameters into the new device automatically, so a technician does not need a laptop, a configuration file or a recipe sheet at the machine.

Key features

Eight IO-Link class A ports, IO-Link 1.1
PROFINET, EtherNet/IP or Modbus TCP uplink
Automatic parameter storage and device replacement
IP67 die-cast housing for direct machine mounting
Per-port current monitoring and short-circuit diagnostics
M12 A-coded ports, 2 A per port

Typical applications

Smart sensor clusters on assembly stations
Gripper and end-effector sensor integration
Retrofit of analogue sensors with IO-Link converters
Diagnostics access on guarded or hidden sensors

Network note

IO-Link runs at 230.4 kbit/s over an unshielded three-wire cable up to 20 m. Keep the cable away from drive output cables and use the master’s port diagnostics to confirm the signal quality before commissioning the line.

DM-MA08 Piezo Micro Actuator, 8 µm Stroke, 0.1 nm Resolution

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 09:33:21 +0000

Overview

The DM-MA08 is a solid-state actuator: a stack of ceramic layers expands when voltage is applied, with no gears, screws or bearings in the motion path. There is nothing to wear and nothing to develop backlash, and the response is fast enough to be used for active vibration damping as well as static positioning.

Resolution is limited by the driver noise, not by the actuator, and reaches 0.1 nm with a low-noise amplifier. The trade-off is stroke: 8 µm open loop, or 10 µm with the optional strain gauge feedback for closed-loop control that removes hysteresis and creep.

Key features

8 µm open-loop stroke, 10 µm with closed-loop feedback
0.1 nm resolution with a low-noise driver
Microsecond response, suitable for active damping
Optional integrated strain gauge for closed-loop control
Vacuum-compatible version for chamber use
Preloaded housing for push and pull operation

Typical applications

Optical path length and mirror alignment
Nanometre positioning on inspection stages
Active vibration cancellation
Micro-dispensing and valve actuation

Driver requirement

A piezo actuator needs a dedicated amplifier, not a DC supply. We supply a matched 0-150 V amplifier with USB and 0-10 V control, and we recommend ordering actuator and amplifier as a pair so the calibration covers both.

DM-MA25 Linear Micro Actuator, 25 mm Stroke, 80 N

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 09:33:20 +0000

Overview

The DM-MA25 converts rotary motor motion into precise linear travel through a preloaded ball screw and a crossed-roller guide. The preload removes the axial play that makes a cheap screw drive lose position when the load direction reverses, which is the difference between a 1 µm resolution specification and a 1 µm resolution that holds.

The stepper motor with an integrated 1,000 line encoder gives closed-loop position control, so a missed step is corrected rather than accumulated. Limit switches at both ends protect the mechanism during homing, and the whole assembly is 25 mm wide, which fits inside a gripper body.

Key features

25 mm stroke, 80 N continuous force, 200 N peak
1 µm resolution with closed-loop encoder feedback
Preloaded ball screw and crossed-roller guide, no backlash
Integrated end-of-travel limit switches
Step/direction, 0-10 V or RS485 control interface
Anodised aluminium body, 25 mm wide, 420 g

Typical applications

Gripper jaw adjustment for product changeover
Fixture and stop positioning
Probe and sensor fine positioning
Dosing syringe and valve actuation

Application note

Resolution is not accuracy. Mount the actuator on a flat, stiff surface; a flexing bracket will show up as position error at the tool. If the application needs sub-micron holding, add a piezo fine stage rather than asking a screw drive to do both jobs.

DM-TI300 Infrared Pyrometer, 0-1,200 °C

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 09:33:14 +0000

Overview

The DM-TI300 measures surface temperature without touching the target, which is the only practical option for moving webs, rotating rollers, molten material and anything inside a sealed process. The 8-14 µm spectral band suits most non-metallic surfaces and avoids the short-wavelength interference from daylight and hot ambient air.

Emissivity is adjustable from 0.10 to 1.00, and the response time can be set between 100 ms and 10 s to average out a moving target. Outputs are 4-20 mA and RS485 Modbus, with a laser sighting beam for alignment and a through-lens or fixed-focus optic depending on the working distance.

Key features

0-1,200 °C range, 8-14 µm spectral response
Distance-to-spot ratio 20:1 with laser sighting
Adjustable emissivity 0.10-1.00 and response time 100 ms-10 s
4-20 mA and RS485 Modbus RTU outputs
Stainless housing with air purge collar for dusty environments
IP65 with water cooling jacket option for ambient above 70 °C

Typical applications

Film and sheet extrusion temperature
Preform and bottle blowing temperature
Sealing bar and laminating roller temperature
Molten metal and glass surface temperature

Getting a trustworthy reading

Non-contact measurement is an optical measurement. Spot size at the working distance must be smaller than the target, the sighting must avoid background heat sources, and the emissivity must match the material. Expect to verify the reading against a contact probe once during commissioning, then treat that emissivity value as part of the recipe.

DM-FE150 Clamp-On Ultrasonic Flow Meter, DN15-DN600

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 09:33:14 +0000

Overview

The DM-FE150 measures flow from outside the pipe. Two transducers clamp onto the pipe wall, send an acoustic pulse diagonally through the liquid and back, and calculate flow from the transit-time difference in both directions. Nothing enters the process, so there is no pressure drop, no leak path and no shutdown to install it.

The controller accepts pipe outside diameter, wall thickness, material and lining, then calculates the transducer spacing itself. A mounting rail with a scale fixes the spacing and keeps it stable, and the supplied wall-thickness gauge removes the second-largest source of field error after straight run.

Key features

DN15 to DN600, ±1% of reading in calibrated conditions
Bidirectional measurement, totaliser and batch functions
4-20 mA, pulse, relay and RS485 Modbus outputs
Clamp-on installation with mounting rail and wall-thickness gauge
Data logging for up to 60 days at 1-minute intervals
Battery or 24 VDC powered versions

Typical applications

Flow verification and energy allocation on existing mains
Chilled and hot water loop balancing
Temporary flow surveys and leak detection
Process cooling water in semiconductor and data centre facilities

Installation requirements

Allow ten pipe diameters upstream and five downstream, keep the transducers on the side of a horizontal pipe rather than the top, and make sure the pipe is full. Clamp-on meters fail predictably when the pipe is partially full or when a liner separates the transducer from the liquid.
