Imagine having one system that clearly controls the access permissions for your machine. One system that allows your employees to avoid errors through clearly controlled permission systems. One system that means no more passwords that are hard to remember or need to be written down. One system that removes the need for countless different keys.
B&R has dramatically accelerated execution of all types of machine vision applications. A new quad-core processor and just-in-time compiler help the Smart Sensor complete vision tasks up to four times faster. Machine builders can substantially increase the output of their machines without having to use expensive dedicated PCs for machine vision. With the latest Steady version of the HALCON library, B&R’s machine vision system now has a just-in-time (JIT) compiler.
A ground-breaking HMI solution for the Covid-19 Era
Many safety systems add complexity to the applications into which they’re designed. However, it doesn’t need to be this way. With the right tools, you can streamline your safety system to improve flexibility and align it with your specific needs. Omron is introducing a set of brand-new NX safety tools with Sysmac 1.45 that are designed to reduce the complexity of the average safety system and improve overall ease of use.
Cinch Connectivity Solutions, a Bel group company, recently announced the Fibreco brand of Junior XLR Expanded Beam Bulkhead Connectors, offering an Expanded Beam XLR mounting option to convert the physical contact fiber solutions already in use in the market today. Cinch Connectivity Solutions’ Junior XLR expanded beam connectors offer reliable performance with a simple termination process, allowing rapid in-field termination and repair.
Discover Bihl+Wiedemann’s new product family of self-configuring I/O modules. They currently provide modules with 4, 8 and 16 digital signals, which can be used bidirectionally as inputs or outputs. This allows many different applications to be implemented with the same module – simplifying planning and spare parts management. The ability to configure 16 I/Os is a great alternative to comparable Ethernet or IO-Link-based I/O solutions.
New ProSense multi-mode and off-delay timer relays offer the flexible programmability of a multi-function and multi-range time delay relay together with a universal input voltage. The TRM series multi-mode timer relays provide an easy way to select time delay functions and time range options. Available models offer timing functions up to 10,230 hours, with various power supply ratings.
METCASE’s portable instrument enclosures and 19” rack cases have become increasingly popular with electronics engineers designing new gas analysis equipment.
As the manufacturing industry evolves and changes, there are often space constraints for installing products in existing cabinets or machines. To keep up with changing connectivity requirements while saving you time and effort, the EDS-2000-EL Series unmanaged switches include 5-and 8-port Ethernet options that provide a small footprint, long-lasting durability and low latency to ensure a quicker response around MES applications.
Emerson has launched a low-cost upgrade for electrical heat tracing systems with its new Nelson AXPC100-CM-GP and CM-GP microprocessor-based digital controllers, engineered to accurately control, monitor and maintain the process temperatures of industrial pipes or tanks in ordinary (non-hazardous) locations. Ideal for replacing aging electro-mechanical thermostats, the controllers achieve cost savings by eliminating the need for several components.
CUI Devices’ new slide switch offering includes compact package sizes as small as 10 x 2.5 x 5.9 mm for space-constrained applications.
Simplifying installation, NKK expands low profile FF01 emergency stop swtich series to include 12″ wire leads.
Yokogawa Electric Corporation recently announced that Yokogawa and Shell have jointly developed Platform for Advanced Control and Estimation R5.03 and would release it on June 2 as a solution under the OpreX Asset Operations and Optimization family. Platform for Advanced Control and Estimation is a software suite that brings together Shell’s advanced plant process control technology and Yokogawa’s real-time control technology to help customers improve productivity by increasing product yield and reducing energy consumption.
The future of automation starts with IO-Link. Sensors and actuators are the eyes and ears of your equipment. Your machines and processes are limited by what your sensors can tell you. What if you can get more information without increasing cost, engineering time and complexity? What if ifm told you your existing infrastructure could already provide more insight?
The new device connector clearly sets a signal for the future in the area of pluggability, as there is no comparable system on the market. The special features of the new product all revolve around flexible and simple assembly. This is achieved by double conductor connections, which are equipped with a push-in spring, the possibility to prefabricate the components at separate locations and last but not least also by the suitability for automatic wiring.
