At more than 80% of all production sites, storage tank level measurement of liquids and additives is done manually, which is time- and cost-intensive. Often, it results in missing stocks only being registered when the tank has emptied and production has ground to a halt.
AutomationDirect has added new Captron Caneo Series10 and Series41 pushbuttons to expand their offering of capacitive pushbutton switches. Capacitive pushbuttons utilize touch control and are activated without pressure when a hand or body part nears the device’s surface.
Flexible and non-metallic, The LOOP provides reliable support of CAT 5, 6 or 7 – or fiber optic cable – without sagging, bending or damaging the cable! Three sizes of The LOOP hold up to a 5″ bundle of cable. Easy to use and cheaper than cable trays, single or multiple LOOP hangers mount in a variety of ways and rotate to any angle.
Emerson has recently announced the release of its PACSystems RSTi-EP CPE 200 programmable automation controllers (PAC). This new family of compact PACs helps original equipment manufacturers (OEM) successfully meet customer requirements by minimizing the need for specialized software engineering talent.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) estimates 350 employees are killed annually in electrocution accidents, which roughly equals one fatality per day. In the face of these dangers, OSHA officials and industry safety consultants alike recommend eliminating potential hazards on work sites.
Palletizing is a labor intensive, repetitive and unergonomic task, which makes it ideal to automate. The benefits of automating palletizing tasks include increased productivity and throughput, higher quality, and improved ergonomics.
AutomationDirect has added STRIDE & Murrelektronik IO-Link master modules and hubs to their existing field I/O product line. IO-Link is a powerful field I/O protocol capable of handling traditional field I/O signals along with diagnostic data from intelligent field devices, including device health, configured parameters, and performance.
Canadian robotics software provider RoboDK has released TwinTool, an application that offers fully automated robot tool calibration for industrial robots. TwinTool is a cost-effective, quick, and easy solution to improve the tool’s accuracy in a wide variety of manufacturing applications.
The compact B&R servo drive is suitable for use in aggressive atmospheric environments and at temperatures as low as -25°C. The electronics of the ACOPOS P3 are protected from external influences by a special coating as standard, making the servo drive even more resistant.
AutomationDirect has recently added drive isolation transformers from Hammond Power Solutions to their growing lineup of transformers. Their rugged design allows them to withstand the mechanical stresses, voltage distortions, and heating associated with motor drives.
3M and Innovative Automation Inc. are joining together to provide industrial manufacturers with an automated solution for tape applications that require precision, repeatability and high output. The RoboTape System for 3M Tape allows industrial manufacturers to take advantage of the benefits of 3M Tape in their assembly processes.
AutomationDirect has added additional sizes and styles of FATH T-slotted rail hardware. Several new types of fasters have been added including socket head cap screws, flanged button head socket cap Torx head screws, flat head socket cap screws, self-tapping screws, and reducer bushings.
Leuze is bringing to market the new ELC 100 safety light curtains, which can be used to reliably guard points of operation: The devices contribute to making machine designs cost effective and are easy to integrate and install.
Offering a wide range of high-quality industrial plugs and sockets complying with IEC 60309-1 and IEC 60309-2 International standards. Techspan’s industrial plugs and sockets are reliable, robust, easy to wire and provide outstanding resistance to weathering and to chemicals.
In early July of 2021, NOARK Electric was proud to announce the release of all new 1 and 2 pole Series – M molded case circuit breakers. These new MCCBs are designed for maximum performance and reliability. The compact case design of these breakers gives them a smaller footprint making them perfectly suited for use inside panels.
Innovative ideas are also implemented outside ifm, e.g. a rotating house. The IF0001 inductive sensor is installed in its basement. In the TV programme “Wohnträume” by Galileo Plus – on Sunday evenings on ProSieben – an ifm employee discovered it.
