Inspiring History – The History of Our Success – Phoenix Contact
IMO’s 2nd Generation iView Advanced HMI Controller, as IMO Field Sales Engineer Jason Hannah explains below, was driven by the industry’s rapid pace of change.
Phoenix Contact’s MARKING system software features powerful functions for the easy and standard-compliant design of application-specific marking solutions, high-performance interfaces for the efficient import of data from ECAD systems, and common data exchange formats.
The new, only 3.5 mm-wide PTIO 1,5 initiator/actuator terminal blocks from Phoenix Contact are particularly suitable for wiring your modern machine controls. They offer you the option of connecting sensors with two signal outputs in a space-saving manner.
The PTV terminal blocks with lateral conductor connection from Phoenix Contact enable clear wiring without bending radii. You can also affix and read off the connection and conductor marking more easily as a result.
Automotive circuit protection is not a one-size-fits-all category, especially for distributors supplying repair shops, fleet operators, OEM channels, aftermarket installers, and industrial buyers. A part that works in one vehicle or electrical setup may not suit another, even when the category looks similar at first glance. For distributors, the real challenge is building stock that supports replacement demand, resale confidence, and a customer base with different application requirements. At Techspan Industries, they help B2B buyers compare circuit protection products based on how they are used in the field. That means looking beyond the category name and focusing on application requirements, replacement fit, electrical specifications, and the practical needs of the customers being served.

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.
