The new photoelectric sensors with condition monitoring from Balluff deliver capabilities not yet seen before in the market. In addition to providing solid photoelectric sensing, they deliver the condition monitoring and advanced IO-Link features of the Smart Automation and Monitoring System (SAMS) portfolio.
Force Control Industries will feature their MagnaShear maintenance-free, no-adjustment brake that virtually eliminates motor brake downtime. The MagnaShear motor brake employs oil shear technology, providing longer service life in demanding applications like the frequent start/stop cycles seen on cranes, hoists, winches and other equipment.
AutomationDirect has added new accessories for Eaton 3P series molded case circuit breakers (MCCBs). The new products include universal rotary handles and Flex Shaft flexible handles, both available for each MCCB frame size and suitable for NEMA 1/4/4X and 12 enclosures.
Like the other inductive sensors in our portfolio, these provide wear-resistant, non-contact position detection of metallic objects. These, however, are members of Balluff’s Smart Automation and Monitoring System (SAMS) portfolio—SAMS. That means they’re packed with additional features.
Developed with stacking or palletizing of heavy loads in mind, Festo’s new EHMH is a muscular cantilever axis with rack and pinion technology that handles payloads up to 200 kg with great repeatability.
The new SINAMICS G115D is a powerful drive system that has been specifically designed to address current and future challenges involving horizontal conveyor applications. Typical applications include intralogistics and airports.
KNIPEX Tools introduced new plastic inserts for its Pipe and Connector Pliers series (81 11 250). The innovative plastic inserts now consist of two component materials: soft blue outer layer and firm red inner layer.
Red Lion’s FlexEdge Intelligent Edge Automation Platform brings industrial data together as never before to transform edge computing. FlexEdge provides a scalable solution to integrate complex multi-vendor environments into digital transformation strategies, while providing a futureproof solution for changing application needs.
If you want to manufacture turned parts more efficiently, low-maintenance and fail-safe precision clamping devices are required. These can be quickly and easily converted, and, if necessary, can also be used for automatic loading.
The Universal Robots UR16e delivers an impressive 16kg (35.3 lbs.) of payload within a small footprint, and is ideal for use in heavy machine tending, material handling, packaging, and screw and nut driving applications.
The safety relays PNOZ monitor safety functions such as emergency stop, safety gates, light barriers, light grids, two-hand controls, speed, standstill and much more besides. Every day, PNOZ safety relays prove themselves in millions of applications worldwide.
Manufacturers are seeking to address the chronic shortage of engineers with the right expertise by adopting modern networking technologies. Conventional methods don’t always work in these situations, and production floors are seeing a rise in certain problems such as the lengthening of mean time to repair (MTTR).
If a machine or system is expected to produce potentially hazardous overtravel movements, a combination of safety interlock on the guard and standstill monitor in the switch cabinet can provide the requisite level of safety.
With the new size 355, SEW-EURODRIVE’s three-phase motors of the DRN series meet the efficiency requirements IE3 up to 375 kW. This means that you can operate your system worldwide even at high power levels.
Nidec Motor Corporation has introduced the ID300 Fusion Integrated Motor Drive that features U.S. MOTORS brand 3-10HP UL-certified induction motors and customizable variable speed drives.
Roughly 5 years ago Danfoss introduced NovoCon S, the first of its kind digital actuator specially designed for AB-QM pressure independent control valves (PICVs). At the time this was a revolutionary actuator for controlling flow’s through terminal units in hydronic HVAC applications.
