Klein Tools recently introduced the 14-in-1 Precision Screwdriver/Nut Driver, a precision integrated tool that houses 8 screwdriver tips and 6 nut driver sizes.
Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. has recently announced the launch of its ASSISTA collaborative robot in the Americas. As a collaborative robot, or ‘cobot’, ASSISTA is designed to share its workplace with humans in a safe and efficient manner. This makes it a useful solution across various industries with its internal wiring, rigid, industrial-grade design, and newly developed components.
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.
Many companies working within oil and gas and other heavy industries face the challenge of integrating motor control centers into existing distributed control systems (DCS) that use Modbus TCP as the communication protocol. Often, because the DCS does not support EtherNet/IP, additional hardware and integration effort are needed to complete the system.
The FL Switch 1000 series is expanded to introduce the eagerly awaited fiber variants. These switches offer a narrow housing, greater port density, and a best-in-class automation protocol traffic prioritization. The seven fiber optic models feature both gigabit and fast ethernet models, which allow for applications of different bandwidths in a variety of industries.
METCASE meets rising demand for 28″ deep rack mount enclosures for networking and communications, industrial computers, sound and studio electronics, laboratory instruments and control systems.
This new module carrier incorporates the practical experience and ideas of the users to produce a part that is very easy to handle. The new LÜTZE Cat. 6A module carriers allow data transmission points between the field and control cabinet to be performed even more quickly and safely. Core benefits of the module carrier include the greatly simplified wiring process that does not require special tools.
Bel Power Solutions announces ABE1200 / MBE1200 Series of 1200W enclosed AC-DC power supplies for industrial and medical applications. The power supplies offer high power density solutions in three compact 1U height packages

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).
Verotec manufactures three different 19″ rack cases to meet application requiremetns: the heavy-duty EMC screened RackCase PRO, Veroshield EMC rack case and standard general-purpose rack case.
KNIPEX Tools introduced its StepCut cable shears for solid, multi-core stranded copper and aluminum cables up to 1/0 AWG. The StepCut’s most unique feature is its cutting edge gradations that cut wires and strands one by one without crushing the cable.
More transducers and switches have been added to the AutomationDirect sensors lineup. ATCH series adaptive true RMS current transducers ($169.00) are designed to monitor electric heat zero-crossing burst fired SCR controllers. These transducers provide faster response than temperature sensors and are a simplified method to monitor pulsed waveforms and are ideal for electrical heater applications.
DATA MODUL Inc. has launched a family of state-of-the-art LCD controller boards that are specially tailored for high performance requirements of industrial customers. The eMotion Series boards are optimized to match specific sizes and resolutions of LCD displays.
To make machines smarter and help reduce machine stoppages and downtime for unprecedented productivity, Schneider ElectricTM, the global leader in energy management and automation, today launches TeSys island, a digital load management system. The new connected system digitally integrates multifunction motor starters into machine control panels, allowing fast installation and configuration for the direct control and management of low voltage loads thanks to an end-to-end digital customer experience.
The operating mode selection and access permission system PITmode combines safety and security functions in one system. The devices enable functionally safe operating mode selection and the control of access permissions on plant and machinery. PITmode devices can be used on plant and machinery in which you must switch between a range of control sequences and operating modes. Each employee can be issued machine enables and permissions that correspond to his or her skills using coded transponder keys with RFID technology.
