The newest family of IO-Link masters from Balluff provide more flexibility in designing controls architectures with Smart IO-Link devices.
Electromate is now offering the new High-Efficiency Joint (HEJ) series—a compact, integrated actuator solution developed to meet the demanding performance needs of mobile and manipulation robots. The HEJ Series HEJ 90 and HEJ 70 actuators are engineered for use in legged robots (including quadrupeds and bipeds), autonomous mobile manipulators, compact robotic arms, and wearable systems such as exoskeletons. Each unit features integrated joint control electronics with 1 kHz loop cycles, sensor feedback, and active thermal management. Built-in heat sinks and high-load output bearings (cross-roller type) enhance reliability for outdoor, dynamic, or mobile use cases. With onboard control, torque sensing, and EtherCAT daisy-chaining capabilities, the HEJ series reduces the number of external components and cables required, enabling system integrators to speed up development and simplify system complexity.
One of the many advantages gained by the integration of TwinCAT 3 into Visual Studio® is the possibility to use source code control procedures which are already familiar from IT for software engineering in automation. Thus, management and revision control of complete configurations and the required program code are much simplified. TwinCAT Automation Interface provides a simple interface for automatic code generation.
Emerson’s SolaHD surge protective devices and power filters begin a new chapter with the introduction of several upgraded versions that give users more ways to prevent damage to mission-critical electronics driving the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) within their facilities.
In industrial process measurement and automation, there is a growing demand for simple, reliable and maintenance-free measuring instruments in a pocket-sized format like Picomag from Endress+Hauser.

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.
