Polycase has recently expanded the EK Series of DIN rail mount boxes to include 2 new sizes: the EK-52 and EK-54. The Polycase EK series offers a versatile clip that snaps onto a standard DIN-35 rail, allowing you to easily mount internal components. Both new sizes are larger compared to the current EK-50 and provide an alternative PCB mounting option that allows the user to capture their PCB on the screw tower rib (versus the molded-in mounting bosses) – helping save assembly time by not having to screw down the PCB.
AutomationDirect has added Patlite NE series visual and audible-visual signaling beacons to their portfolio of industrial signaling devices. These signaling devices are offered as visual-only beacons or as combination devices with a buzzer or selectable tone alarm (8 different tones) and signal beacon. Mono-color beacons are available in red, yellow, green, blue, or clear models. Multi-color versions support 7 selectable colors allowing users to signal numerous different equipment conditions with one device.
Industrial companies are increasingly relying on what’s known as edge computing in their production. It allows them to capture and process data where it’s generated: at the field level in the plant. At this year’s SPS trade show in Nuremberg, the technology company Siemens is expanding its range of products and services for Industrial Edge at all levels. This will allow users to connect their information technology (IT) even better with the operational level (OT). Industrial Edge is also part of the portfolio of the Siemens Xcelerator open and flexible business platform.
AutomationDirect has added EWT-PA series flexible, non-metallic, two-piece split conduit from Murrplastik. This flex split conduit provides an easy solution for routing pre-terminated cables, eliminating the need to dismantle/reassemble the installed connectors. The EWT-PA series conduit consists of dual overlapping tubes that are easy to open yet provide mechanical protection and eliminate unintentional exposure of the cabling bundle inside. This conduit is ideal for cable installations on cobots, gantry systems, or any retrofitting application.
Stewart Connector, a Bel group company, has recently announced the expansion of its M12 cable and connector product line for industrial applications and harsh environments.

The new bulkhead KEL-FW is perfect for routing cables with/without connectors at a 90° angle over a large bending radius (max. 150 mm). The hinged cover of the new bulkhead KEL-FW is firmly connected to the housing by a hinge and is therefore captive. This makes the system very easy and quick to mount. The KEL-FW is first screwed to the enclosure using the two rear holes and then fitted with the required cable grommets. The cover is then folded down, locked in place and screwed to the enclosure using the two front holes.
Omron Automation introduces the new SWIR camera series that uses unique Short Wave Infrared technology to help overcome common manufacturing challenges. By utilizing this latest technology, it delivers unmatched performance in capturing images and data exceeding the capabilities of traditional cameras. The sensitivity to wavelengths beyond what the human eye can see opens doors to many applications across industries.
The TRIO Power 24 V power supply from Phoenix Contact features a space-saving design, easy handling, and smart diagnostic functions. Output currents range from 5 to 40 A. The line includes options with an integrated multichannel circuit breaker. The power supplies’ narrow overall width saves space, making it possible to mount them directly, side by side. The low overall depth enables installation in 210 mm small housings.
