Fischer Connectors, a Swiss-based global provider of high-performance connectivity, releases ultra-robust Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) and USB 3.2 Gen 2 connectivity solutions to meet the specific requirements of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications in rugged environments. With the increase in sensor density, actuators and controllers in Industry 4.0 and IIoT operational settings, high power levels and massive amounts of data must be securely and efficiently managed through ultra-fast transmission lines with cables running over long distances.
Nexans has recently launched the Mobiway MOB drum kit, an innovative connected cable transport & installation solution for medium to large-sized building projects. While traditional cable drums are bulky and unwieldy, Nexans’ Mobiway MOB is designed to make the process of manipulating and unwinding cables safe and effortless for installers. As a result, the time required for cable installation could be reduced by half.
IDEC Corporation has recently developed the new HT4P Safety Commander, building on the success of the HT3P by incorporating end user feature requests for additional networking and operator interface functionality. The HT4P Safety Commander is an ergonomic device enabling users to securely hold and protect a human-machine interface (HMI) tablet, while providing power, networking, and hardwired emergency stop (e-stop) and other operator interface devices. OEMs and automation designers can now provide flexible and safety-rated operator interface options for equipment, robotics, collaborative robots, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and other manufacturing system applications.
AutomationDirect has added more FATH hardware components to their selection of T-slotted rail products. These components easily install in SureFrame rails, as well as many other brands, and include roll-in T-slot nuts with spring loaded ball, slide-in T-slot nuts, screw and miter connectors, 1- and 2-slot pivot joints, extended swivel bases, foot consoles, leveling casters, magnetic catches, sensor mounting blocks, protection profiles, profile sliders, roller elements, and much more.
A compact powerhouse meets the highest safety requirements: The new generation of the KMP 600-S diffDrive expands KUKA’s portfolio of mobile platforms. The KMP 600-S diffDrive is fast – up to two meters per second – and equally safe, thanks to laser scanners and 3D object detection.
SICK has come out with the AS30 sensor arrays. Array sensors operate on the proximity scanning principle. They detect even the smallest edges based on differences in grayscale values within the field-of-view. Positioning of, for example, a paper web based on the web edge or a contrast line is only one of many possible applications. Widths, diameters, and gaps can also be detected. In reflector mode, the array sensors can even detect transparent materials.
Introducing the Inside BNC 90 degree Compression Connectors from Ideal. Installing one-piece compression BNC and right angle connectors just got easier. No more uncertainty when inserting the cable into the connector. No more collapsed center pins. No more wasted connectors and rework time on the job. With the patented InSITE Technology feature, now standard on all IDEAL BNC and right angle (90°) compression connectors, field termination of these blind entry connectors is simpler, faster and now provides a higher performance connection for all applications from CCTV to HD Video.
Introducing the MPZ gripper from Schunk, a small 3-finger centric gripper with base jaws guided on T-slots. The T-slot guidance allows for precise gripping at high moment loads. An air supply via hose-free direct or screw connections allow for a flexible pressure supply in all automated systems. The compact dimensions of the gripper provide minimally interfering contours for handling.
CENELEC standards, Machinery Safety Directive, CE conformity… Pilz has perspective in this standards’ jungle. They provide support, from project planning and programming through to documentation and the approvals process. As for drawing up compliant technical documentation for the authorities – you can leave that to Pilz as well. For this purpose, Pilz has tailored their machinery safety and automation services to the railway.
OTTO Motors has recently unveiled its newest AMR, OTTO 600, the toughest and most nimble AMR in its class. With the launch of OTTO 600, OTTO Motors offers an incredibly comprehensive autonomous material handling fleet to the market. OTTO 600 unlocks important new workflows with its ability to move pallets, carts and other payloads up to 600 kg (1,322 lb). With an all-metal construction and IP54 rating, OTTO 600 follows the OTTO Motors legacy of AMRs built to deliver results in the most demanding of factory environments.
AutomationDirect announces the addition of IDEM two-hand safety control panels to their safety products portfolio. Two-hand safety control panels, used with a special control monitoring relay, require an operator to use both hands simultaneously during a hazardous operation. This forces operators to keep their hands on the two-hand control actuator and out of harm’s way. New IDEM products include a control station with momentary pushbuttons, a control station with zero-force touch buttons, and an empty two-hand control station enclosure for custom configurations. Enclosures are made of die-cast aluminum; replacement buttons are available.
Siemens has developed an innovative enclosed line of motor starters using the SIRIUS product family, placing the most advanced motor control technology “in a box.” To compliment their long standing “V” series made-to-order SIRIUS Motor Starters, the 3RE41 line offers a modular approach to ordering and configuring enclosed motor starters. SIRIUS 3RE4 offers a wide selection of enclosed motor starter packages, contactors installed in NEMA 1 enclosures, which can be converted to 3-phase or 1-phase motor starters with the addition of an overload relay.
With its ERT series, SCHUNK offers rotary units that are characterized by a particularly flat design and enable precise, flexible, and highly dynamic rotational movements. The unit can be used as a rotary table for components, assembly groups and tools, and can also be used as a rotary module in gantry solutions, as a rotary indexing table or a high-precision positioning module. The direct drive by a permanently excited torque motor ensures precise, highly dynamic movements.
Rittal has revolutionized the field of non-metallic enclosures with the AX Fibreglass Reinforced Polyester enclosure. They provide maximum simplification, speed and configuration freedom, while meeting the highest demands in terms of safety and robustness. Installed indoors or completely exposed to the weather outdoors – these enclosure will safely protect your electrical components.
Announcing the launch of a new series of low profile, baseplate cooled 160W AC-DC power solutions. The new units are intended for use in semi-conductor manufacturing and industrial technology applications including test and measurement, factory automation and process control, with a focus on solving cooling, air pollution and integration issues. The new ASB160 series are compact and complete AC-DC power supplies that include an EMC filter, AC fuse and bulk storage capacitor.
