German SIRTA SPA sensors, SIRTA SPA models, SIRTA SPA prices

SIRTA SPA sensors, also known as torque sensors, torsion sensors, torque sensors, and torque meters, are divided into two main categories: dynamic and static. Among them, dynamic torque sensors are also called torque sensors, torque-speed sensors, non-contact torque sensors, and rotating torque sensors. Torque sensors detect the twisting moment on various rotating or non-rotating mechanical components. They convert the physical changes in torque into precise electrical signals. Torque sensors can be used in the manufacture of viscometers and electric (pneumatic, hydraulic) torque wrenches. They offer advantages such as high precision, fast frequency response, good reliability, and long service life.

SIRTA SPA sensor classification

Lasers can be classified into 4 types based on the working medium. (1) Solid-state lasers: The working medium is solid. Common examples include ruby lasers, neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet lasers (i.e., YAG lasers), and neodymium glass lasers. Their structures are roughly similar, characterized by compactness, robustness, and high power. Neodymium glass lasers achieve the highest pulsed output power, reaching tens of megawatts. (2) Gas lasers: The working medium is gas. Various gas atomic, ion, metal vapor, and gas molecular lasers are available. Common types include carbon dioxide lasers, helium-neon lasers, and carbon monoxide lasers. Shaped like ordinary discharge tubes, they feature stable output, good monochromaticity, and long service life, but have lower power and conversion efficiency. (3) Liquid lasers: These can be further divided into chelate lasers, inorganic liquid lasers, and organic dye lasers, with organic dye lasers being the most important. Their key feature is continuously tunable wavelength. (4) Semiconductor lasers: A relatively newer type of laser, with gallium arsenide lasers being more mature. They are characterized by high efficiency, small size, light weight, and simple structure, making them suitable for use on aircraft, warships, tanks, and for carrying by infantry. They can be made into rangefinders and sights. However, they have lower output power, poorer directionality, and are significantly affected by ambient temperature.

SIRTA SPA sensor principle

When a laser sensor operates, a laser diode first emits laser pulses toward the target. After reflecting off the target, the laser scatters in various directions. Part of the scattered light returns to the sensor receiver, where it is received by the optical system and imaged onto an avalanche photodiode. An avalanche photodiode is an optical sensor with internal amplification capabilities, allowing it to detect extremely weak light signals and convert them into corresponding electrical signals. A common type is the laser distance sensor, which determines the target distance by recording and processing the time elapsed from the emission of the light pulse to its reception. Laser sensors must measure the transmission time with extreme precision due to the high speed of light.

SIRTA SPA sensor applications

Oversize vehicle width and height detection: Laser sensors are used for rapid measurement. An industrial PC and the network kernel of the visualization programming software VB enable real-time data transmission and processing with the sensors. User-friendly host control software has also been designed. Field test data show that the system offers good real-time performance and high measurement accuracy, providing practical value. Highway toll stations: Used at highway toll stations for vehicle counting and safety protection. Malaysia's Teras company has already deployed hundreds of BEA laser sensors in its manual and automatic toll collection systems. The laser sensors use the Time-of-Flight (TOF) measurement principle to form 4 planes within the detection area for vehicle detection. The product also provides functions such as rear-end collision prevention and vehicle safety protection. Compared with traditional light curtains, laser sensors offer advantages including high sensitivity, high precision, easy installation, cost-effectiveness, and strong stability. Google's second-generation driverless car: Equipped with laser sensors. In Google's second-generation autonomous vehicle prototype, besides the prominently visible laser sensor on the roof, other sensors are discreetly integrated. Distinctive Google driverless car markings are affixed to the front, rear, and both sides of the vehicle. The control and driving principle of the Google driverless car relies on numerous sensors installed around the vehicle to continuously collect precise data about the vehicle itself and its surroundings. An onboard processor analyzes and computes this data to control the vehicle's movement. The driverless car uses GPS devices and sensors to accurately determine the vehicle's position and forward speed, identifying surrounding pedestrians, vehicles, bicycles, traffic signals, and many other objects. The Lexus vehicle features a 360° rotating laser holographic sensor on its roof, which can almost simultaneously sense conditions in front of, beside, and behind the vehicle. Data collected by the sensor is transmitted via green data cables to the processor located at the rear right side of the vehicle. This laser sensor also enables global precise positioning for the driverless car. The original L type Lexus emblem on the front of the car was removed and replaced with a radar sensor used to measure distance ahead and vehicle speed, allowing assessment of forward traffic conditions and controlling safe acceleration and deceleration. Position sensors are also mounted on the wheel hubs to detect wheel rotation, aiding in vehicle positioning. The heart of the Google driverless car—the processor—is located at the rear right side of the vehicle. Data from all sensors is transmitted here via data cables for software-based analysis and processing, enabling precise sensing and judgment of different objects near the driverless car. In addition to analyzing and judging the current positions of objects around the driverless car, the software calculates and accurately predicts the potential next position of each object. Finally, the driverless car makes safe driving decisions based on all collected data, including controlling vehicle speed and maintaining distance from surrounding vehicles.
