A single solution for connecting multiple devices, across multiple protocols. In systems where the installed base includes Industrial Ethernet and/or serial protocols, establishing communication across devices is critical and upgrading the equipment isn’t always feasible.
Machines, and systems, need power. Reliable, easy to install and safe to operate. Simple solutions for supplying power to machines and systems are in demand. MQ15 connectors from Murrelektronik meet this requirement. The connectors are easy to install thanks to the tool-free quick connection.
AutomationDirect has added new M30 harsh duty photoelectric sensors from Eaton. The Eaton E58 series are among the most rugged and best-sealed photoelectric sensors on the market. Their stainless steel, PVDF, and tempered glass components are mechanically assembled using Vitron seals to ensure resistance to chemicals and moisture intrusion.
AutomationDirect has added new phase and voltage monitoring relays from ProSense. The PMRU-2C series true RMS phase monitor relays protect 3-phase equipment from damage that can occur when there is a phase loss, phase reversal, phase unbalance, undervoltage, or overvoltage condition.
ABB’s new Ty-Rap® TyGenic™ cable ties are the industry’s first two-piece cable tie that is both antimicrobial* and detectable. They are over 99 percent effective against a broad spectrum of microorganisms and detectable by x-ray, visual and metal detection systems. Ty-Rap® TyGenic™ cable ties help protect against costly contamination and waste in food and beverage and pharmaceutical processing, healthcare, and hygiene-critical locations.
OTTO Motors, a leading provider of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), released software recently, giving customers better visibility and depth of their fleet’s performance in a continued commitment to support the world’s largest AMR deployments.
Highly flexible, the extended-reach GP70L robot offers an extremely fast and powerful performance for a variety of applications. A long reach, exceptional speed and a robust payload capacity make this model well-suited for logistic processes, including palletizing and depalletizing. Applications for dispensing, material handling, press tending and machine tending, such as loading and unloading parts from a CNC machine, are also expertly supported.
When embracing the new era of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), many system integrators and engineers face the critical challenge of finding a secure and reliable IIoT-gateway solution that offers regular security patches to remedy system vulnerabilities in a timely manner. Moxa’s newly launched AIG-300 Series IIoT gateways come with Azure IoT Edge integration that adds significant value in the form of unique features that help build a cost- and time-efficient IIoT system.
At more than 80% of all production sites, level measurement of liquid and additive storage tanks is done manually, which is time-consuming and costly. Often this results in missing stocks not being recorded until the tank has emptied and production has stopped. Excessive storage to avoid such situations is usually not viable due to the additional storage costs involved.
Hammond Manufacturing has introduced the 1551W Series, IP68 sealed versions of its popular 1551 miniature enclosure family. Launched in an initial five sizes, all available with a plain or flanged lid, the UL94-V0 polycarbonate enclosures are suitable for use inside or outside.
ABB Power Conversion is expanding its already robust line of DC/DC bus converters with multiple new modules, including a 1500-watt (W) converter –– which is among the highest-powered quarter-brick DC/DC converters currently available.
Teledyne FLIR has introduced the FlexView dual field-of-view (DFOV) lens attachment for FLIR Axxx and Txxx Series thermography cameras designed to improve operational efficiency, safety, and accuracy from switchyards to the plant floor.
Solutions that reduce our carbon footprint during production are in high demand. But at the same time, these solutions need to be intelligent and communication-enabled so that they can be easily integrated into digitalised manufacturing environments.
Teledyne FLIR, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, recently introduced the FlexView dual field-of-view (DFOV) lens attachment for FLIR Axxx and Txxx Series thermography cameras designed to improve operational efficiency, safety, and accuracy from switchyards to the plant floor.
AutomationDirect has added a new line of enclosure filter fans to their inventory of thermal management devices. The Fandis Virdis series filter fans provide a low-cost thermal management solution for applications where the surrounding cooler air can be used to reduce the internal temperature of an enclosure.
Universal Robots has recently announced that it will add a new 20kg cobot to its product range. Called the UR20, the cobot boasts an all-new design based on Universal Robots’ experience in highly refined engineering and is the latest addition to the company’s strong portfolio of cobots.
