What Is a Thermocouple? And How to Make It Wireless

Technology Explainers|


What Is a Thermocouple and How Does It Work?

A thermocouple is a heavy-duty sensor that measures temperature using electricity. Within the sensor there are two dissimilar metals joined at one end, the sensor generates a micro-voltage when exposed to thermal gradients. A digital transmitter measures the resulting electron movement across the junction, converting the electrical potential directly into a precise temperature reading. This accuracy makes thermocouples the go-to choice for measuring extreme heat and […]

A Manufacturer’s Guide to the 5 Most Important Wireless Sensors

News, Technology Explainers|

Shigeo Shingo, an industrial engineer who pioneered the Toyota Production System (TPS) said, “The most dangerous kind of waste is the waste we do not recognize.” Manufacturers are on a never-ending quest to identify and eliminate waste. The more efficiently a factory runs, the more profitable it will be. The key is identifying the waste and turning it into an improvement. […]

Proof! You Really Can Install a Leap Sensor System In 5 Minutes

News|

We say it all the time: “Our sensors are up and running in just five minutes,” and we really do mean it. When we designed the Leap Sensors system, we knew one key would be to ensure the installation process was as streamlined as possible. That’s why our wireless sensors arrive pre-configured and ready for “plug and play” installation. We’ve removed the hassle of pulling wires and time-consuming software setup. Adding additional sensors to the Leap Sensor system […]
