Resolution of 0.5μm, response speed of 10kHz, absolute linear scale.

Temposonics offers excellent non-contact absolute displacement sensors using magnetostrictive technology, which serve as alternatives to traditional linear potentiometers, linear encoders, and rotary encoders. This absolute position sensor is an ideal solution for monitoring and controlling machines that perform hydraulic, pneumatic, and electromechanical positioning. Additionally, the sensor head is equipped with a uniquely developed high-performance LSI, enabling not only position detection but also the detection of movement speed, thus providing a complete operational profile of the machine. With a single sensor, it is possible to compare a user-defined target value with the actual position and measure the position of up to 30 locations simultaneously. Many other features are also included. Due to these characteristics, it is adopted in various applications such as industrial equipment, robotics, welding, medical devices, and wind and wave power generation.

• Drilling Machine
• Crane and others
• Sweeping vehicles, grass cutting vehicles, road surface regeneration machines, snow removal machines

We provide robust Absolute Displacement Sensors that can withstand harsh environments such as shock, vibration, and temperature.

This absolute displacement sensor is compact and can fit inside hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. Additionally, it is a non-contact, highly reliable absolute position sensor specially developed to undergo rigorous testing such as shock tests, vibration tests, and temperature tests for hydraulic cylinders used in vehicles, construction machinery, and agricultural machinery, as well as for actuators.

• Other measuring instruments

Bus connectivity available, high precision + robust linear scale.

The magnetostrictive linear displacement sensor Temposonics, using magnetostrictive technology, offers high precision (1μm) and robustness (vibration resistance of 30G, waterproof rating of IP68/IP69K, pressure resistance of 80MPa, CE compliant). It provides a variety of interfaces such as CAN, Profibus, EtherCAT, and EtherNet/IP, allowing for direct connection to the customer's system bus. Additionally, it supports daisy-chain connections, simplifying wiring. Furthermore, this sensor can simultaneously measure the positions of up to 20 permanent magnets without requiring a power cable, with a maximum measurement length of 20m.

• System bath (sauna, shower, etc.)
• Work boats, research vessels, underwater work machines
• Other measuring instruments

It is a linear displacement sensor that applies Temposonics' unique magnetostrictive technology.

High-resolution and non-contact measurement is achieved, allowing for durable and highly accurate linear displacement measurement even in harsh environments. It can simultaneously detect multiple positions (up to 30 locations) absolutely, and it is also capable of measuring movement speed. Since it is non-contact and absolute, it requires very little maintenance. This multi-position measurement function is available in the Temposonics R series models with CAN, Profibus, and EtherCAT interfaces. Additionally, it can measure up to 20 meters, making it widely adopted in various markets for detecting landslides, avalanches, rock displacement, monitoring strata and ground subsidence, and measuring structural deformation.

―― Is attendance management becoming a "burden" without you realizing it? A seminar to quickly learn about common issues and their solutions ―― We will be holding our attendance management web seminar in October, which takes place several times a year! The content is new, so whether you have participated in our webinars before or not, please feel free to join us. Date and Time: October 15 (Wednesday) 13:00- October 22 (Wednesday) 11:00- *Both days will cover the same content *Please check the link below for registration. In this seminar, we will recreate common situations in the workplace in a short drama format for easy understanding, and introduce specific solutions to each issue. This content is especially recommended for those who think, "I'm not struggling now, but I want to know information for the future." Common workplace "situations" can be a trigger for improvement. We will clearly present the challenges and countermeasures of attendance management. Recommended for: ❏ Those who take a long time to compile monthly attendance ❏ Those who tend to postpone compliance with legal revisions ❏ Those who currently have no major complaints but want to know hints for improvement ❏ Those who want to refer to initiatives and examples from other companies

PTC Japan will support the CAR and DRIVER team, a car magazine founded in 1978, which will participate in the 36th "Media Challenge Roadster Endurance Race" held at Fuji Speedway on Saturday, October 4, 2025, continuing from last year.

PTC announced today the release of an AI assistant that supports Arena's Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Quality Management System (QMS). The Arena AI Assistant provides context-specific expertise and optimal operational methods in a conversational format in real-time for tasks related to Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Quality Management (QMS). This enables user teams to realize value in a shorter amount of time.
