Omron Whitepaper – MVRC: Mark, Verify, Read and Communicate












The rise of cyber related attacks on Internet of Things (IoT) and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) infrastructure has made it increasingly vital to have cybersecurity protocols in place to support functional safety and safety-related solutions in commercial or residential buildings and industrial processes.
As food processing continues to grow in complexity, companies remain vigilant for how to make facilities work better without expanding their footprint.
The H5CC integrates the functionalities of five different OMRON timers into one small but mighty digital timer. The H5CC is able to handle a range of advanced timing applications—from food processing machines to lighting to injection molding—yet its user-friendly programming and easy-to-read LCD screen makes it simple to operate. Best of all, you can reduce unexpected failures with its predictive maintenance features, which notify you when it is nearing the end of its usable life.
Probably most of us already have noticed the effect of an AC inrush current in our homes – e.g. when the refrigerator, power tools, vacuum cleaner or the air conditioner turn on. The surrounding lights may dim shortly, a sign that the AC voltage is being drawn down by the switch-on process of this device.
Teck, Vertical Riser Teck, and AIRGUARD address distinct installation needs for industrial and vertical-riser installations. Each product targets specific installation needs: Teck for general industrial feeders, Vertical Riser Teck for continuous vertical runs, and AIRGUARD to deliver high crush resistance and corrosion protection on long runs. Understanding the differences in application can help ensure the right cable is selected for the job.
Palletization is a core step in the supply chain process. On the surface, palletizing can seem very simple — you just stack boxes onto an empty pallets. But there are many different types of palletization and various ways to compare these types. With so many different pallet types and materials, process layouts, and levels of automation, it’s easy to become overwhelmed when trying to determine which type of palletization is best suited to your specific needs.

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.

When torque requirements exceed what a standard single face electromagnetic clutch can deliver — or when the available envelope simply doesn’t have room for a large-diameter friction face — engineers reach for the high-torque side of the Ogura catalog: multiple disk clutches, multiple disk brakes, and tooth clutches. These are not simply “bigger” versions of… Read More…

Mining operations run on power. Across crushing, conveying, hoisting, pumping, ventilation and mineral processing, electrical infrastructure keeps production moving and helps connect the assets, systems and people that make safe, efficient operations possible. But the same electrical systems that support higher productivity also introduce risk, especially in environments shaped by dust, moisture, vibration, remote locations,… Read More…
