Rockwell Automation Expands Space-saving NEMA-rated Contactor Options

Rockwell Automation has recently released new sizes in its line of energy- and space-saving Allen-Bradley Bulletin 300 NEMA contactors. The contactors, now available in NEMA sizes 00 to 8, feature universal electronic coils that reduce inrush apparent power (VA) by up to 68% and sealed VA by over 75% compared to standard, non-electronic coils. The electronic coils also save engineering time by covering 20 to 500 V AC/DC coil voltages with only four coil options, greatly simplifying selection.

Product Showcase: Safety Light Curtains

Safety light curtains are a non-separating guard used for the protection of hazardous areas. They detect the passage of objects and direct the machine to stop the hazard. Because they do not provide a physical barrier, consideration must be made to place them a suitable distance from the hazard point to ensure the hazard is stopped in time.

Pepperl+Fuchs: Accurate Product Measurements for Material Handling

In material handling applications―i.e., indoor warehouses, manufacturing facilities, automotive plants, airports, cold storage―pallets carrying products down a conveyor is a standard application. While standard, there are frequently complex problems that require exact product measurement solutions during this automated process. Conveyor speed and control, anti-collision (ZPA), safeguarding, and of course pallet profiling are among the most common challenges.
