Just one of many large-scale physics experiments worldwide using Lake Shore thermometry technology. Diode sensors are used for monitoring cryogenic temperatures of the 52-foot-wide superconducting particle storage ring, with 240 Series input modules converting analog temperature signals to digital for direct transmittal to the facility’s PLC.
Quality control is key to a manufacturer’s customer satisfaction and profits. Lake Shore’s fast, sensitive, calibrated instruments and sensors improve the accuracy of a number of QC measurements. Our portable and fixed configurations allow in-line product testing, plus our knowledgeable technical staff assist with the integration of our products into existing process and help users understand their test results.
Arnold, a leader in permanent magnets and assemblies, uses Lake Shore fluxmeters and Helmholtz coils to ensure consistency in manufacturing, and our gaussmeters and Hall probes (single axis and 3-axis) to test finished assemblies for products as critical as undersea oil valves and high-performance motors.
Many of our sensors are designed to survive radiation and excessive vibration during a space launch and will operate continuously for years. Lake Shore has more than 20 years of experience in supporting mission-critical applications. Our highly reliable, flight-qualified sensors have provided precise measurement for satellite onboard systems as well as ground testing.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope uses hundreds of Lake Shore’s flight-quality sensors. Other NASA programs and national labs rely on the Lake Shore family of sensors and instruments for their crucial programs.
