B&R introduces a new PLC family: X20 Embedded. The PLCs combine high performance and numerous integrated interfaces in a housing only 55 mm wide. That makes them only half the width of comparable devices.
AutomationDirect’s safety product offering now includes IDEM hazardous area safety devices. These safety devices provide similar functionality to their general-purpose counterparts but offer explosion-proof switching in hazardous locations.
ABB has recently launched ABB Ability eMine, a portfolio of solutions that will help accelerate the move towards a zero-carbon mine. ABB also unveiled the piloting of the groundbreaking ABB Ability eMine FastCharge, the world’s fastest and most powerful charging system, designed to interface with all makes of electric mining haul trucks.
Mitsubishi Electric is announcing the release of its CNC Offset Manager software for remote modification of computerized numerical control (CNC) tool and work offsets. With the push towards automation and central control, machining facilities are searching for more efficient ways to manage their CNC machines.
For applications that require an unmanaged switch with a rugged housing, the IP67-protected FL SWITCH 1608/1708 switches give you flexible mounting options and fast installation by using M12 PUSH-PULL technology.
Techspan Industries releases Non-Fusible Mechanical Interlocks, manufactured with non-leaching Valox resins.
The 7F Series of fans and filter fans for cabinets and electrical panels are products to ventilate and safeguard against high temperatures.
Moxa Inc., a major provider of industrial communications and networking with a focus on securing industrial networks, has introduced the new EDR-G9010 Series.
B&R now equips its PC for mobile machinery with B&R Hypervisor software. This enables it to serve simultaneously as both a high-performance controller and a Windows or Linux PC, allowing smart farming applications to be implemented with only a single device.
Pepperl+Fuchs is expanding its factory automation portfolio with the all-new USi-safety ultrasonic sensor. Suitable for use in harsh environments and even for outdoor applications, this small but mighty sensor requires only a small amount of installation space.
Set up, switch out and print faster than you ever imagined with the BradyPrinter i5300 Industrial Label Printer. It’s intuitive, auto-calibrating and precise, printing barcodes and small fonts on labels as small as 0.2″.
AutomationDirect has added Gefran WPG and WPP series magnetostrictive linear position transducers. These transducers work like other linear position sensors by translating a linear position to an electrical signal.
B&R now makes it easier than ever to implement safety communication between machines and machine modules. An update to its mapp Safety software now enables programmable safety functions to be used across complex manufacturing systems with virtually no additional effort – greatly reducing the time spent implementing systemwide safety functions.
Eaton’s humidity sensor and fan control device is a single pole humidity sensor for controlling the humidity level in a room. This sensor controls the humidity level by detecting excess humidity in damp areas, such as bathrooms, laundry rooms or spas.
The new PowerFlex 6000T medium-voltage drive from Rockwell Automation delivers industry-leading performance in about half the space. The drive accepts up to 13.8 kV primary voltage in a best-in-class footprint that is only 2,310 to 3,010 mm (7.58 to 9.87 feet) wide.
We used to hear the business buzz about “Bigger is Better”. Well, not when it comes to manufacturing. In manufacturing it is about the ever-smaller mechanical, electronic products and devices. Yet the power needs are just the same or more.
