Industry sensors - Gas Measurement
-
By using m-u-t OEM sensors you can measure properties of solids, e.g. concentration of ingredients, color, contour, and a variety of quality parameters. In liquids, sensors determine identifying features (tracers), optical density, ingredients and color, for example. Contactless measurement and analysis of gases based on UV and NDIR technology (none-dispersive infrared technology) has become the superior test method. With this technology, production processes can be monitored and controlled continuously and in real time. Therefore, customers from various industries are improving their process quality and minimizing waste by using NDIR detectors. Gas sensor applications developed by our engineers, e.g. methane sensors, are individualized complete solutions, calibrated precisely to the specific measuring task.
Our single gas sensor modules are designed to measure gases individually: e.g. oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen (H2), ozone (O3), ethine (C2H2), ethene (C2H4) and ethane (C2H6), methanol (CH3OH), acetone (C3H6O), ethanol (C2H5OH).
m-u-t multi-gas detectors analyze up to fourteen gases simultaneously and selectively in a single sensor chamber. Up to eight gases, e.g. CO (carbon monoxide), CO2 (carbon dioxide), CxHx (hydrocarbons), are measured optically and are integrated in a unit with up to six other chemical sensors, e.g. H2 (hydrogen) or O2 (oxygen). Besides determining the concentration of target gases, physical parameters such as humidity and temperature are also measured. In addition to the high precision of the measuring results, which are essential for production-critical processes, m-u-t sensors are also completely wear-free, as they do not have any moving parts. Therefore, the sensors are maintenance-free and require no repair.

A microprocessor controls all necessary functions and performs calculations which allow fast customer specific adaptions by software variations.For our CO2 detector we offer different calibrations for varying concentrations of CO2: 10%, 11%, 30%, and 100%.
IR Multi-Gas Sensor NDIR Module
- Infrared multi gas sensors are based on the principle of non-dispersive infrared spectroscopy (NDIR).
The multi gas sensor
The multi gas sensor uses light of a specific wavelength in the infrared range to illuminate the sample depending on the type of gas to be analyzed. It measures the absorption of light when crossing the sample chamber and indicates the concentration of the gas in the sample chamber. A chemical reaction does not take place in the process, so our multi gas sensors have a long service life and remain stable over the long term.
The measurement of up to three gases in a single sensor considerably reduces cross-sensitivities (which are otherwise commonplace) not only by adeptly selecting the IR wavelengths, but also via algorithmic incorporation of all measurement channels. Three gases can be combined freely depending on the requirements. CO carbon monoxide, CO2 carbon dioxide, CH4 methane, C2H2 acetylene, C2H4 ethylene or C2H6 ethane are available right now.
The measurement precisions that can be achieved depend on the respective gas combination and the measurement ranges, and can be optimized for the application at hand by suitable calibration.

Serial production
Process Control on UV Lamp
- For fast UV lamp drying processes in CD & DVD production and drying of dyestuffs and colors in the printing industry, it is important that the light source has the right intensity at the correct wavelength. Otherwise either the process takes too long or the material is not completely consolidated.
The given task
The lamps need to be inspected for intensity and wavelength distribution. As soon as they are altered, the intensity needs to be increased. If this does not help, the lamp needs to be replaced. A device for permanent inspection of each lamp is necessary. The process may not be prolonged by the inspection or by replacing the UV lamps too early.
The solution
An OEM version of our TRISTAN UV spectrometer is used to control the spectral distribution and intensity of the UV light. It is fully integrated into the process control system of the production line. Due to the unique design of the integrated processing unit (a 32 bit RISC processor), a separate PC for data transfer is not required. The lamp is operated for the actual lifetime at the needed parameters and at a constant output level. At the end of the lampÂs lifetime, the operator is notified to change the lamp. The OEM TRISTAN monitors and regulates fully-automatically the UV intensity in the running process. Analysis of the UV spectrum in the range of 250 to 550 nm is performed in up to 3 freely-definable control ranges. Changes to the UV intensity are recognized and the process is steered to optimum at all times by the closed control circuit. The spectrometer in use has a resolution of up to 0.15 nm. This guarantees a stable UV process, a consistently high quality and performance, and at the same time reduces the number of rejects.
At the start of production, the optimum UV power for the respective process is registered with the ÂTeach-In function. The power control is performed directly based on the consolidation and sterilization process, and no longer on the electrical input values. Process control is done automatically by means of special software. Measurements can be started by internal timers or by external triggers. The measurement cycle times of the internal timer can be selected freely in the range of 1 sec to 180 sec. This guarantees exact harmonization with the production cycle. Optical fibers and sensors are re-calibrated with every ÂTeach-InÂ. This ensures precise and reliable values with every measurement. The measuring lens is also protected by shutters. With this system, based on the TRISTAN OEM spectrometer with its fast integration time and easy-to-use software interface, it is possible to raise the quality and shorten the time of industrial drying process in one single step. Moreover, the cost-intensive change rate of UV-lamps can be decreased.
Testing fuel with a gas tag analyser
- If you need a portable measuring device to detect the presence of counterfeit or mixed fuels, m-u-t has developed an amazingly simple solution: the gas tag analyser (GTA).
Complete system for mobile use
Compact in size and striking in performance, this mobile test equipment fits in the boot of any car. Yet it offers everything you need to measure very small amounts of chemical indicators in liquids. So you can easily identify and mark fuels that are stored or transported without a container. No more time-consuming lab analysis.
How the GTA works
Fuels contain very low concentrations of a liquid indicator, which due to its spectral signature is practically copy-proof. Our GTA system determines this indicator and measures its concentration in the liquid. It then indicates whether the fuel is original, mixed or counterfeit. You get accurate results that reflect even the slightest deviation from the original.

Early fire detection with patented 3D IR detection for optimal cooling / "extinguishing"
-
Patented 3D IR detection
The basic module of the IGNIS infrared detection for early fire detection identified a danger. The globally unique 3D module extension for early fire detection determines the precise location information and the individual danger of the glowing nest. This information will be forwarded to a particular deletion server. The danger points are sorted according to the degree of danger and dealt with separately. The extinguishing server is for the simultaneous control of different extinguishing monitors. The number of IGNIS3D infrared detection systems and water cannons is independently from each other. The installation position of the systems can now be freely selected: Your fire protection concept will be ideal.
Extinguishing measures can also be carried out by other detectors or the operating personnel. They are treated in such a way that they cannot be experienced by the IGNIS3D or are explicitly excluded from fully automatic viewing.
Worldwide visibility and patented - 3D measuring detection- Adaptation to changing storage heights and filling heights
- Danger position - the greatest danger is always cooled first
- The position of the extinguishing window is automatically set depending on the distance: optimal cooling through external coolant application
- Trajectory parabola calculation - no test required
- A danger can be approached simultaneously by all available water cannons
- Automatic assignment of water cannons to the hazard
- Most precise temperature measurement even with heavy dust exposure

IGNIS3D infrared detection for early fire detection
-
If you need accurate infrared measurement technology for early fire detection, m-u-t's patented Ignis3D infrared detection with distance measurement is the answer. It enables embers to be accurately detected and dealt with using the latest 3D spatial data.
The advantages of distance measurement at a glance
How does Ignis3D outperform competing systems?
Conventional systems record the area once at the time of installation. The disadvantage with this is that if, for example, the fill heights of a room change, the system may not be able to locate the source of a fire.
Ignis3D scans the environment automatically and continuously, so the 3D coordinates are never more than two minutes old. In the event of an alarm, this is a considerable advantage, as the data enables accurate extinguishing. Ignis3D is the only system on the market that can do this.
What is the distance used for?
Temperature measurement The VdS loss prevention council stipulates accuracy of 5K for temperature measurement. Only Ignis3D meets this standard every time  even in dusty environments and at variable distances. Under these circumstances, conventional solutions can cause deviations of more than 25K.
Cooling
The system applies coolant to the same surface from any distance, and the projectile trajectory is always accurate thanks to precise calculation. The number of Ignis3D detectors doesn't have to be the same as the number of sprinklers, and their mounting locations can be different too.- Precise temperature measurement even in dusty environments
- Accurate detection of embers
- Calculation of projectile trajectory
- Standard size for efficient cooling
- Flexible installation and optimal adaptation to spatial conditions
IGNIS3D VdS recognition
- First infrared fire detection system with laser
distance measurement and VdS recognition.
The IGNIS3D IR camera units have been certified by the VdS under recognition number G 220008.
IGNIS3D fulfils more than the requirements of the VdS 3189 directive for the design and installation of IR camera units for temperature monitoring in fire protection. Instead of static 3D space detection, hotspots that move on the optical axis of the infrared camera are also measured precisely. Thanks to the unique dynamic 3D measurement, hotspots can also be evaluated and prioritized in their potential danger.
The aim of VdS directive 3189 is: Due to local and operational characteristics, it may be useful to use IR camera units in addition to fire detection in accordance with VdS 2095 or DIN VDE 0833-2, in particular for the temperature monitoring of surfaces. This way, temperature abnormalities, e.g. in the form of temperature gradients, can be reacted to at an early stage in the monitoring area of the IR camera unit.
The following functions are performed by an IR camera unit IGNIS3D:- Early detection and localisation of areas with elevated temperature, such as hotspots, hot surfaces
- Monitoring of surfaces by measuring current temperatures, temperature curve or temporal changes in temperature
- Support of firefighting management and optional mobile and/or stationary firefighting
Please contact our project engineers to discuss the exact procedure with you.
Early fire detection technology with infrared detection
- Early fire detection with IGNIS3D measures the surface temperature of the property being monitored so it can detect the increase of heat long before a critical temperature is reached.
Early fire detection based on this principle has crucial system advantages over all other detector technologies:
Visualisation of the temperature increase
Invisible LWIR radiation is made visible by using calibrated microbolometer technology. Each radiation value has a temperature value and a colour associated with it. In this way, the surface temperature distribution becomes visible and can be captured with a view to its immediate assessment.
Non-contact measurement over long distances
LWIR thermal image-based early fire detection can be used over several hundred meters. Every pixel of the sensor corresponds to a temperature of the observed image. Using this information, the unit can be used to identify potential sources of fire and fire prevention measures.
‘Clear view’ in smoke and haze
In the wavelength range of LWIR radiation of 8-12μm, in many situations where there is smoke or haze, aerosols are transparent. In contrast to normal surveillance cameras or the human eye, which have much shorter wavelengths, an LWIR camera can ‘see through smoke’, so to speak. This technology provides valuable support for firefighters in case of fire.

Gas sensors for rail vehicles
-
Air conditioning
The passenger compartments in trains are usually designed to be pressure-tight. The air conditioning regulates the temperature, humidity and the proportion of fresh air. The CO2 content must not exceed defined limits and the O2 content must not fall below defined limits.
In bistro vehicles, beer is sometimes freshly tapped and enriched with CO2, as we know it from gastronomy. CO2 sensors monitor the room air to ensure the safety of staff and guests: In the event of a possible leak in the CO2 system, the system warns and increases the supply of fresh air.

Solutions
NIRS
- Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) describes a physical-optical analysis method based on spectroscopy in the range of short-wave infrared light. The method originally comes from the medical sector but has also been used in agriculture for many years. For analysis, the medium (e.g. liquid manure) is irradiated with near infrared light - the human eye cannot perceive this. With the help of reflection, the NIRS sensor is able to detect the ingredients based on the difference between irradiated and reflected light.
Your advantages at one glance:- Innovative procedure with a wide range of analysis options
- Easy and fast analyses with high degree of accuracy
- Sustainable optical analysis option
- Calibration databases for highly accurate results
Feeding Technology
- Adapted feeding is the key to success in animal husbandry. Varying nutrient contents in silages or different grain batches complicate the exact calculation of a ration.
Precise Rations
The NIRS sensor - installed in the feed mixer - ensures that farmers have precise knowledge of the energy content of their mixed ration.
Your advantages at one glance:- Adapted feeding
- Increase in feed intake
- Increase in milk yield
- Reduction of feed waste
- Healthier animals
- Consistent TM content of the feed
Biogas
-
Analysis of substrates is an important part of biogas production as it allows operators to optimally control the fermentation process. However, the chemical composition of substrates varies greatly and can be subject to both seasonal and regional fluctuations. A quick and accurate analysis is therefore essential to optimize the fermentation process.
A quick and accurate analysis is therefore essential to optimize the fermentation process. By using NIR sensors, farmers can quickly and accurately determine important key figures such as dry matter, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content of the digestate. This data is for fertilization of agricultural land
Milk Analysis
- The analysis of milk ingredients is a time-consuming process - usually it requires pre-treatment.
The Plus in Safety
Using an NIRS sensor during the milking process enables the analysis of quality-relevant ingredients directly in the raw milk. Contaminants can also be identified. Due to the sample frequency, very high accuracy can be achieved. The data is directly available - long waiting times are avoided. Thus, milk producers get a plus in safety.
Your advantages at one glance:- Significant time saving
- Analysis during the milking process
- Especially high precision
- Extra safety (traceability)
Soil Sensor Technology
- More Efficiency in Crop Production
For optimum harvest results, farmers and contractors can combine their ISOBUS sowing technology with a soil sensor. Soil sensors based on NIRS technology are the key to optimal harvest results.

Fertilization
- Liquid Manure Application
- Accurate & Sustainable
In contrast to mineral fertilizers, farm fertilizers offer many advantages. Using them is more sustainable because all nutrients contained are part of the nutrient cycle anyway.Your advantages at one glance:
- Based on our calibration database, your data is especially precise
- Inhomogeneous liquid manure causes any problems for the measurement
- Real-time data - no more annoying waiting for laboratory results
- Sensors can be mounted anywhere where farm manure flows past - completely flexible
Harvesting Technology
- Harvesting is one of the most important and decisive times of the year for agricultural producers.
Arable farms aim for the best prices for their products
Arable farms aim for the best prices for their products and, with the subsequent soil cultivation and fertilization, lay the foundation for the following harvest. Processing farms use the harvest to create the fodder basis for a whole year. So, what if sensors would help to produce the optimal silage, provide the basis for successful price negotiations or ensure precise nutrient removal? With NIRS, this is already possible today. NIRS technology provides great advantages not only in liquid manure spreading, but also during harvesting.

Gripper systems  handling of blood sample tubes
- Our gripper systems can help you set up and place blood sample tubes accurately. We provide you with durable precision solutions for laboratory automation, developed and manufactured in accordance with your specifications.
TPU for placing
With our tube placing unit (TPU), blood sample tubes can be placed accurately in racks, pucks or cars. For this purpose it is equipped with a Z-axis and rotary movement. It grips the tubes straight so that the bottom of the tube finds the opening of the rack. The integrated barcode scanner enables placement with the barcode aligned. In order not to obstruct the measurement of barcode, fill level or HIL status, the TPU grips the tube high up.
TRU for raising
Our TRU (tube raising unit) lifts blood sample tubes from a horizontal to a vertical position with the cap facing upwards. It doesn't matter whether the tube is placed with the cap on the left or on the right side under the gripper. The TRU can then transfer the upright tube to a second gripper (such as the TPU) or place it directly in a puck, rack or car using integrated Z-axis movement. Our gripper systems can be flexibly adapted to your product.
Separation of blood sample tubes with step conveyor
- Are you looking for a reliable step conveyor for the separation of blood sample tubes? Our patented OEM module has already proven itself in hundreds of large laboratories worldwide.
Our step conveyor features the following benefits:- Fast separation of up to 3,500 tubes per hour
- Teflon-coated: tubes with rubber caps can also be fully processed
- Optimised angles in the hopper area: even the last tube in the hopper is reliably processed
