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.
The Optim VH line of low voltage motors is a series of NEMA Standard 3-phase motors from Teco Westinghouse, featuring a vertical hollow shaft with high thrust that comes in 60Hz, 230/460V, 460V or 575V.
Introducing the Optodrive P2 variable performance drives, featuring a perfect combination of high performance and ease of use which allows even the most demanding applications to be tackled easily.
Lafert presents the HPS Series of permanent magnet motors for automated equipment applications where induction motor performance falls short of the mark, or servo motor cost and complexity is impractical.
The AS3 is Toshiba’s latest low voltage drive with enhanced real-time communications and advanced features. Equipped with embedded dual-port Ethernet/IP, the dual-rated AS3 is ready for use out-of-the-box with no optional devices needed.
The LDL has been designed as a cost-competitive alternative to pneumatics. A common trend in industrial automation is that users are looking for electric alternatives to their pneumatic components for a number of reasons: control, cycle life, operating cost and environment, etc.
SINAMICS G115D is not just a new distributed drive, but a complete drive system. It offers easy wiring, commissioning and servicing, and innovative system solutions for horizontal motion applications.
Offering exceptionally fast and powerful operation for increased production throughput, the highly reliable four-axis PL190 and PL320 models now join the PL500 robot, enabling a wide range of palletizing applications, order picking and other logistical tasks.
The NITRA Pneumatic Automation Link (PAL) series of components from AutomationDirect is a versatile field I/O system that can include electrical I/O or pneumatic valves, or a combination of both.
ABB is expanding its collaborative robot (cobot) portfolio with the new GoFa and SWIFTI cobot families, offering higher payloads and speeds, to complement YuMi and Single Arm YuMi in ABB’s cobot line-up.
The health of industrial machinery may be determined by measuring the equipment’s vibration signature. If a gear, fan, or other essential component is out of alignment or otherwise functioning incorrectly, the vibrations of the machine will change.
