Power Machine Tray Cable is available in sizes from 18 AWG to 8 AWG with 3 to 25 unshielded conductors. Individual conductors are bare copper and stranded for flexibility, with black PVC/Nylon insulation and marked with numbers for easy identification.
The ProSense LPM1 series of loop panel meters offers a simple, low cost digital display of an analog 4-20mA signal. Models are available for mounting in a standard 1/8 DIN size panel cut-out with minimal installation depth as well as models provided in an aluminum enclosure for field mounting as a remote display for process instrumentation transmitters. The meter is powered from the mA loop and requires no external power supply.
The LEV Series includes a full offering of IEC 60309-1 and 60309-2 pin & sleeve devices including plugs, connectors, receptacles, inlets, backboxes and mechanical interlocks designed to simplify installation, endure the harshest environments and improve safety and productivity. Devices with Inform technology provide smarter electrical connections by integrating with Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technology to support predictive maintenance schemes.
A new magnetic incremental linear encoder system with exceptional ride height provides a much needed solution for applications with variable gap distance. The new BML SF2 system from Balluff provides 12 micrometer system accuracy at gap distances up to 1.0 mm and a maximum working gap distance of 1.8 mm.
IDEC Corporation has expanded its SmartAXIS touch family with the new FT2J Series combined PLC+HMI. A compact all-in-one form factor combines built-in full function controller features and functions, both onboard and expandable I/O, and an advanced technology 7” touchscreen display, providing many advantages for a wide variety of industries. An all-in-one PLC+HMI is compact and consumes far less panel space than separate units. Because the PLC and HMI are internally connected, require only one power supply, and share the same network connection, installation is simplified.

Advanced Motion Controls is proud to announce the addition of six new CANopen servo drives with Extended Environment capabilities to their FlexPro line. These new drives join AMC’s existing EtherCAT Extended Environment FlexPro drives, making the FlexPro line the go-to solution for motion control applications in harsh environments.
Many motion control applications take place in conditions that are less than ideal, such as extreme temperatures, high and low pressures, shocks and vibrations, and contamination. Electronics, including servo drives, can malfunction or sustain permanent damage in these conditions.
