Wieland Electric: Small – Compact – Powerful

With the RST Mini from Wieland, lighting concepts can be implemented quickly and safely under critical installation conditions. Sophisticated lighting systems with a puristic minimalist design provide extremely limited space for the required electrical installation. In addition, such lighting concepts are increasingly being used not only in buildings, but also for outdoor installations.

No Need to Sacrifice Speed for Safety – Validate Human-Robot Applications With the Collision Measurement Set PRMS

Robots have been a core element in businesses for a long time now. They are used to support humans undertaking strenuous or monotonous tasks in factories. It’s precisely this support that often leads to close cooperation between human and robot. To establish and maintain safety for human and robot, the EU research project Rossini is working to disseminate and optimise human-robot collaborations (HRC).

Intelligent Cooling Opens up New Potential

Motor segments for the intelligent ACOPOStrak system are now also available with built-in liquid cooling. This further expands the track’s performance spectrum. Integrated directly in each motor segment, the cooling system requires no additional installation. The new motor segments can be used to cool specific sections of track that need it most. In highly dynamic applications, large numbers of shuttles accelerate and brake on certain track segments.

Converter Cables Create Possibilities for Mobile Equipment Makers

Balluff’s new double-ended converter cables with automotive style connectors create new options for manufacturers in the heavy equipment industry. By pairing an M12 to Deutsch DT or AMP Superseal connectors with several common pin outs, the converter cables give manufacturers the option of using sensors without pre-installed automotive style connectors. They can, instead, select the standard sensor that best meets their application requirements to use with a converter cable.
