The Carlo Gavazzi PAM03 amplification module can operate alone, controlling 3 MOF… sensor sets. Up to 10 amplifiers can also be connected automatically in a master/slave setup via the built-in communication port sharing power and controlling up to 30 MOF… sensor sets. All connected MOF… sensors are multiplexed, eliminating crosstalk. Due to their signal strength, the combination of MOF… sensor sets and PAM03 amplifiers are suitable for environments with high amounts of dust or fog like automatic industrial doors, stone crushing conveyors, wood working machinery, car washes or other applications where a photoelectric sensor must work despite a build-up of dust and dirt or sense through fog, vapor or similar visibility hindrances. The Carlo Gavazzi photoelectric PAM03 amplifiers are available in a plastic (PC/ABS) IP20 approved housing material.
Littelfuse has announced the launch of the Nano² 415 SMD Series Fuse, the first surface-mount fuse from Littelfuse with a 1500 A interrupting rating at 277 V. Designed to provide true buffering for 250 V applications with unpredictable voltage fluctuations, the 415 Series offers exceptional fault current protection in a compact SMD package, making it ideal for space-constrained applications. “This new fuse—our first with a high 1500 A interrupt rating at 277 V—provides electronic designers using legacy through-hole solutions with an option to switch to an SMD part,” said Daniel Wang, Senior Director of Product Management, Over Current–Passives, at Littelfuse. “By doing so, they can fully automate their assembly process, increasing production efficiency and reducing manufacturing costs.”
Relays from Murrelektronik, like the MIRO 12.4, are extremely small but perform with efficiency. Integrated LEDs always show the current switching status. Several labels keep the cabinet organized during operation. These relay modules with pluggable relay components are excellent for applications that switch frequently: When the switching component is worn out it can be replaced without any wiring efforts.

Factory automation can reduce employee injury by eliminating many of the highest risk scenarios. These conditions, known as ergonomic hazards, place undue strain on the musculoskeletal system. This includes the muscles and ligaments of the neck and lower spine, like the muscles, tendons, and nerves of the hands and wrists; and the bones and muscles surrounding the legs and knees. The good news is that automation offers direct solutions to many of these scenarios. Even in partially automated environments, assistive technology can significantly reduce the strain placed on human bodies. Here are three ways automation creates a more ergonomic work environment for workers.
Mersen is pleased to announce the expansion of the 600V ratings to its first-to-market Class RK1 Reducer Fuse product series. The newly released 600V ratings provide a permanent and reliable solution and are designed to be used in all applications where standard UL Class RK-1, RK-5, K-5, and H fuses are typically employed. Certified as Special Purpose CSA/UL Listed Class RK1 fuses, these reduced current rating fuses are designed to fit into the next larger size fuse holders, providing the same high reliability performance, durability, and arc flash mitigation as standard Class RK1 fuses. Reducer Fuses can help achieve greater efficiency within a facility and are ideally suited for start-up or newly expanded manufacturing facilities that are ramping up production and electrical power demand. Upon approaching full capacity, the reduced rating Reducer Fuses can be readily replaced by higher standard rating fuses of the same body size, thus eliminating the need to replace the fuse panel.
The PBST is a compact pressure sensor for the precise measurement, monitoring and control of pressure in machine circuits. The device can be used as a switch, measuring transducer or IO-Link sensor with display in a variety of ways. It measures both liquids and gases reliably. A rugged ceramic measuring cell delivers precise data that can be used flexibly for switching operations and system control via two separately configurable signal outputs. The touchscreen allows quick and easy configuration on the sensor. Critical statuses can be easily identified by an optionally adjustable green-red color change on the display, which considerably simplifies on-site monitoring.
