Omron Automation Americas recently announced the release of its new CP2E Series all-in-one controller that provides advanced control that enables IIoT connectivity for compact machines. The controller improves manufacturing productivity and quality by making it easy to visualize the performance and data of connected machines through simple programming.
The EK9160 Coupler provides direct connectivity for EtherCAT I/Os to the Internet of Things (IoT) without the need for a control program. It converts the E-bus signal representation to different IoT communication protocols and enables in this way the simple and standardised integration of I/O data into cloud-based communication and data services.
A major firmware update provides new functions for the ImpulseCheck assistance system for surge protection. With firmware 2.0, you can now select PROFICLOUD Global or PROFICLOUD China as the end point.
The PT 6-DREHSI screw cap fuse terminal blocks with Push-in connection are the perfect addition to the existing range. They are suitable for 5 x 20 mm type G fuse-links and are also available as a version with a tripping status indicator. Identify faulty fuses easily via an LED display.
The new STEP POWER power supplies from Phoenix Contact are specifically tailored to meet your needs for modern building automation. With their comprehensive approval package, which includes the standard industrial approvals, you can now use the new generation of devices for domestic household purposes for the first time.
The complexity of automated bin picking is well-known throughout the industry, requiring huge efforts in both integration and programming. Today, most bin picking products are solely focused on the vision aspect of bin picking and often require hundreds of lines of additional programming to bridge the gap from “pick” to “place” – especially if the “place” is not just dropping into a box or tote but accurately inserting the part into a fixture for further processing.
The KDL/D cable entry system allows cables to be installed through enclosures or other bulkhead surfaces, with the added benefit that pre-made, terminated cables can be installed without disassembling the connectors. The split-frame system enables the quick and simple installation of up to 48 cables in a single frame.
A lot of safety-related troubleshooting requires the input of a safety expert, but what happens when you need answers ASAP and a safety specialist isn’t available? With the right technologies, many safety issues can be resolved without extensive expertise.
The podis power bus system provides decentralized and flexible power distribution for factories, airports and warehouses. With its unique design and connection technology, the podis system is easy, fast, & safe to install and maintain. The new 5-core tray cable system provides higher load capacity to allow for more drives per segment and longer cable sections. Compared to other installations that require long cable lengths, the voltage drop along the bus is significantly reduced.
Littelfuse, Inc., a global manufacturer of technologies in circuit protection, power control, and sensing, recently announced the expansion of its SPXI series in-line solar fuses to include 35 to 60 amperage models. Designed to integrate into in-line assemblies within a wire harness, these 1500 V DC solar fuses protect photovoltaic (PV) installations from overloads and short circuits to minimize damage to solar panels.
AS-Interface has long proven itself as a user-friendly and cost-effective wiring technology for the industrial sector. To increase the variety of available components and expand the range of possible applications, Pepperl+Fuchs has developed two new CB10 series modules: One for connecting 3-wire sensors with their own power supply to an AS-Interface network, and another module with SIL 3/PL e certification for integrating emergency stop buttons into control boxes.
The HYTEC‐100 is designed to control the relative humidity inside of enclosures and electrical panels. The HYTEC‐100 starts the heater in order to avoid formation of condensation in enclosures designed to protect electronic circuits, preventing the absorption of moisture by electrical and electronic components inside of the enclosure.
Siemens presents Sitrans LR100 series 80 GHz radar transmitters, compact instruments with a narrow beam for flexible installations in existing vessel openings—or even non-intrusively through plastic vessels. The transmitters’ 80GHz high frequency delivers robust, reliable measurements even in challenging environments such as those with vapors, condensation, turbulence, or solids. The custom microchip technology delivers fast response and extremely high sensitivity to detect even the weakest of signals.
Festo’s new compact VAEM solenoid valve controller for multi-head micro-dispensing in pharmaceutical manufacturing and laboratory applications provides individualized control and calibration of up to eight solenoid valves. The compact, lightweight and energy-efficient VAEM is ideal for applications requiring high speed and a low coefficient of variation (CV).
Against the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic, the HARTING Technology Group has taken numerous measures to protect its employees on the one hand, while ensuring that customers continue to benefit from a reliable supply of HARTING products and solutions on the other. “The protection of employees, but also maintaining the supply chain, is our top priority,” as Philip Harting, CEO of the HARTING Technology Group underscored. HARTING supplies renowned manufacturers of medical and respiratory equipment with customer-specific cable assemblies.
Festo’s new VMEF/VHEF directional control valves put precision actuation literally at your fingertips, or even just a pinky. A single finger can be used to activate these valves – or a hand, or a workpiece making contact with a trigger mechanism. These valves are based on touch actuation with minimal force – there is no energy to convert, no long cables or additional response time.
