Klein Tools, for professionals since 1857, introduces a new line of electrical test kits, which offer their best-selling meters and testers in convenient, value-priced kits.
RAFI has expanded its RAMO S selector switch series to include integrated M12 plug and play connectors that simplify assembly. The M12 terminals ensure that the necessary wiring effort is reduced to a minimum and that no extra enclosures with special sealing are required.
Murata has developed a series of miniature DC panel meters developed for industrial and laboratory voltage and current measurement applications.
Enabling wireless access to a machine or system, the new Wireless Access Point (758-919) supports WLAN (IEEE802.11a/b/g/d/n/r), Bluetooth® or Bluetooth® Low Energy in different operating modes
AutomationDirect has added Schmersal two-hand control panels to its lineup of safety products. Two-hand control systems are used with a special control monitoring relay and require an operator to use both hands simultaneously when initiating a hazardous operation. This forces an operator to keep their hands on the two-hand control actuator and out of an unsafe spot when a system is performing a hazardous operation.
New counterbalance support hinges from Southco reduces overall cost of lifting and positioning heavy panels and lids.
The EJ1254 digital input module acquires the fast binary 24 V control signals from the process level and transmits them, in an electrically isolated form, to the controller. The EtherCAT plug-in module has four channels that indicate their signal state via light emitting diodes. The signals are furnished with a time stamp that identifies the time of the last edge change with a resolution of 1 ns.
Siemens is presenting Sitrans SCM IQ, a new Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solution for Smart Condition Monitoring, at the Hannover Messe 2021. It enables potential incidents to be detected and prevented at an early stage, thus reducing maintenance costs and downtimes, and increasing plant performance by up to ten percent. The wireless, robust Sitrans MS200 multisensors form the hardware basis for installation on machinery.
Many manufacturers use time-consuming and potentially dangerous manual processes to inspect servo motors for insulation issues. If this sounds like your company, it might be time to switch over to an automated, remote-based servo motor condition monitoring solution that works around the clock. Omron’s new K7GE remote servo condition monitor is part of their predictive maintenance solution offering that’s designed to help manufacturers minimize downtime without sacrificing productivity.
Machine operators can now pass control of their machine seamlessly between the main HMI and their mobile devices. A new feature of B&R’s mapp View HMI solution ensures that the controls and information they need are always at their fingertips, so they can move freely around the plant floor as they continue working. “Until now, HMI terminals have restricted machine operators to working within a certain radius,” explains B&R software expert Manuel Sánchez.
AutomationDirect has added Schmersal IEC limit switches to its lineup. These limit switches are available in a 30mm or 40mm body width and are offered in zinc alloy, aluminum or glass-fiber thermoplastic enclosures. The actuator heads’ selection includes plunger, plunger with roller, one-way lever with roller, lever with roller, adjustable lever with roller, and adjustable rod.
Floyd Bell’s ground-breaking new Twin Turbo Lighted Alarm is a small (approx. 1″x1″) panel-mount piezoelectric audio alert that emits a daylight-viewable bright light when activated, effectively combining Floyd Bell’s popular Turbo series Alarms with Turbo Light Series Panel Indicators into one convenient multi-sensory alarm device. Available in 7 different tone types, the sound output measures up to an impressive 103dB at 2 feet.
The RAFI key switch series with mounting hole diameters of 22 and 30 mm is perfect for simple integration in your application. This is ensured even in difficult space conditions, thanks to the low overall height and mounting depth, as well as the RAMO EDGE mounting bracket, which you can use to assemble the operating elements and indicators directly on profiles without an additional housing.
A Signal Conditioner is a device that converts one type of electrical signal into another type of signal. In most cases, this is meant to take a signal that is difficult to read and convert it into one that is more easily readable by most types of instrumentation. Common signal inputs accepted by signal conditioners include AC current and AC voltage, DC current and DC voltage, frequency, process, strain gauge, temperature and more.
The IMO range of UL 1077 Approved Miniature Circuit Breakers have been designed for protection of electrical installations against overload and short circuits and are manufactured in accordance with UL 1077.
Yokogawa Test & Measurement Corporation recently announced that it has developed the 760903 current sensor element for use with the company’s world-class power measurement solution, the WT5000 precision power analyzer. The 760903 current sensor element includes a number of new features that simplify the setup and use of external current sensors. This new product will go on sale on April 6.
