Klein Tools Coax Explorer 2 with Remote Kit
Stripping and crimping device, 100 – 240 V input voltage, for insulated ferrules with a cross-section range of 0.25 – 4.0 mm², according to DIN 46228-4: 1990-09, incl. 0.5 – 1.5 mm² conversion kits (6 – 12 mm sleeve length)
Reliable crimping is essential for ensuring safe, consistent, and long-lasting electrical connections. ITC is pleased to introduce the K Series Heavy-Duty Ferrule Crimping Tools, engineered for demanding industrial wiring tasks where strong, uniform crimps are critical. Designed for both wire ferrules and twin ferrules, the K Series combines high-precision performance with operator-friendly handling, making it a dependable choice for panel builders, electricians, and assembly technicians.
The Unifox-MP multifunctional pliers with ergonomic two-component handle combine six or seven functions in a single tool. They make it possible to not only grip, bend, and cut wires, but also to strip cables and crimp ferrules. Their angled tip can be used to easily pierce and deburr flush-mounted sockets. While the Unifox MP 6-1 can be used to cut cables without crushing, the Unifox-MP 7-1 has a diagonal cutter. This means that fine, medium-hard, and piano wires can be effortlessly cut to length. In addition, the pliers provide a crimping area for insulated ring cable lugs. The Unifox-Wrench pliers wrench combines the functions of pliers and a wrench. Ideal for gripping, holding, bending, and turning nuts and bolts, it offers continuous adjustment via push button and an integrated scale for quick and easy setting of the wrench size. The smooth gripping jaws, which can be moved in parallel, protect sensitive surfaces against damage. Thanks to the leverage ratio of greater than 10:1, the pliers wrench ensures a high clamping force and therefore a secure hold. The Unifox-LM “Linemans” combination pliers are ideal for gripping, bending, and twisting wires as well as for pin crimping uninsulated cable lugs. The ergonomic two-component handle ensures comfort, while the toothed gripping surfaces and the additional gripping area below the joint provide optimum grip. With the extra-long blades with a cutting hardness of 62-64 HRC, the Unifox LM offers optimum cutting performance and durability.
The ATS850 conveyor eliminates all types of electro static discharge requirements. This asynchronous, bi-directional pallet transport system solves part transport needs in manufacturing environments in the semiconductor, pharmaceutical, disk drive and flat panel display industries.
ABB Automation Builder is the integrated software suite for machine builders and system integrators wanting to automate their machines and systems in a productive way. Combining the tools required for configuring, programming, debugging and maintaining automation projects from a common intuitive interface, Automation Builder addresses the largest single cost element of most of today’s industrial automation projects: software.
In manufacturing environments, you can’t manage what you can’t see. And when it comes to the safety and reliability of your electrical systems, there can be a lot hiding just out of sight. A loose connection in a control panel, for instance, won’t spark or make a sound. But it will generate heat — and that heat is a silent warning of a looming failure and, ultimately, a safety incident. That’s where infrared (IR) thermography comes in. It’s a simple yet incredibly effective way to see these hidden thermal signals, giving you the power to find and fix warning indicators before they become expensive and dangerous problems.

Advanced Motion Controls is proud to announce the addition of six new CANopen servo drives with Extended Environment capabilities to their FlexPro line. These new drives join AMC’s existing EtherCAT Extended Environment FlexPro drives, making the FlexPro line the go-to solution for motion control applications in harsh environments.
Many motion control applications take place in conditions that are less than ideal, such as extreme temperatures, high and low pressures, shocks and vibrations, and contamination. Electronics, including servo drives, can malfunction or sustain permanent damage in these conditions.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can be an annoyance to radio listeners, but in industrial environments, EMI problems are increasing as today’s power systems scale up to improve efficiency. On this larger scale, the effects are more damaging than poor reception. Today’s power systems are designed for efficiency. A common tactic is the use of variable-frequency drives… Read More…

This article discusses the two most common horizontal assemblies/ installations for e-chains: both horizontal unsupported and horizontal long gliding. For both horizontal unsupported and horizontal long gliding applications, the first step is the same: assembly. The next step after assembly is to add the strain relief to the system and then run the system a few times… Read More…
