The Moog air-cooled L3S and liquid-cooled L3SK flat linear motors are designed for highly dynamic applications. L3S and L3SK motors are three-phase, synchronous, linear iron core motors, which are supplied in the form of active parts (built-in motors).
The MXQ A is the newest generation of precision slide tables integrated with hardened stainless steel guides and rails to isolate the load bearing from the movement of the dual rods and piston seals. Its recirculating ball bearings are matched by size to each slide table with a slight negative clearance resulting in greater accuracy.
Complete automation solutions provider Omron Automation Americas has released a new complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) photoelectric sensor family, the E3AS-HL Series.
The Parker Bestobell’s cryogenic pneumatic actuator is designed for use with flow control valves and emergency shut down applications. Manufactured in Carbon Steel or Stainless Steel, the pneumatic actuator is available in four standard sizes – 168mm, 210mm, 315mm and 420mm diameters.
Parker offers a range of linear actuators and cylinders for pneumatic, electric and hydraulic systems. These actuators and cylinders come in a wide range of construction types, ranging from compact light duty aluminum air actuators to motorized electric actuators and heavy duty hydraulic designs.
The high-speed, six-axis MHP45L handling robot is Factory Mutual (FM) approved for Class 1, Division 1 use in hazardous environments. Featuring a wide motion range, this robust robot is ideal for transferring large workpieces while avoiding interference with paint robots and other peripheral equipment.
Recently, Smart Vision Lights was pleased to introduce three separate lines of short wave infrared (SWIR) LED-based machine vision lights. These lights perfectly complement the recently introduced Sony IMX990 and IMX991 SenSWIR line of cost-effective imaging sensors as well as the quantum-dot SWIR Vision Systems CQD sensor line.
Smart Vision Lights recently introduced its new LM150 miniature linear light with an internal Multi-Drive LED light controller. The built-in Multi-Drive controller allows the LM150 to work in either continuous or OverDrive mode, depending on the input signal to pin 5.
In mid-July of 2018, Red Lion Controls announced that it had expanded its CR3000 Human Machine Interface (HMI) operator panel capabilities with five new communication modules, offering support for some of the most popular industrial protocols.
In mid-September of 2018, Red Lion Controls announced embedded Crimson 3.1 support for Sparkplug, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure MQTT connectors.
In mid November of 2018, Red Lion Controls announced the release of the DA10D and DA30D Protocol Conversion and Data Acquisition devices. Unlike other gateways or protocol converters that rely on complicated scripting or additional server hardware to connect to enterprise systems, the DA10D and DA30D offer powerful connectivity options in a simple-to-use configuration environment.
Unexpected machine downtime can be costly. This means short response times are required to ensure high plant availability in the long term. The new absolute rotary encoder with IO-Link interface from Pepperl+Fuchs helps you increase plant transparency and benefit from potential savings.
Ethernet switches provide the means for efficient and reliable communication of network data, ensuring that devices from field to enterprise reliably communicate across the network. As a full-service provider for IIoT solutions, Pepperl+Fuchs is now introducing RocketLinx managed Ethernet switches that complement its portfolio for field-to-cloud communication.
Pepperl+Fuchs is expanding its factory automation portfolio and has acquired the USi ultrasonic safety sensor from Mayser GmbH & Co. KG, a renowned supplier of products and system solutions, many of which are relevant to safety engineering.
With the UC18GS series with IO-Link, Pepperl+Fuchs now presents a series that combines all the features and advantages of advanced ultrasonic technology in a compact housing. The individually-adjustable sound beam width, the extra-small dead band and the integrated interference target suppression allow the sensors to be optimally adapted to a wide range of applications.
The MiniLine family covers DIN-rail power supplies for low and medium power range from 15W to 100W. The units, in their rugged plastic housing are highly efficient, compact, reliable and can be installed in seconds. MiniLine users are convinced by an excellent cost-benefit ratio and a high power density. So a 30W device requires a space of only 22.5mm on the DIN-rail.
