SCHURTER has extended its Metal Line switch series MSM to include a modern ring illuminated dead-front display.
C&K has extended its detect product family to include an ultra-low current version.
In the process industry, powerful sensors are needed to monitor the correct position of valves. Some outdoor applications, such as seawater desalination plants, oil rigs or phosphate mines, place special demands on the sensor technology used. With a particularly tight and corrosion-free housing, the F31K2 dual inductive sensor is the ideal solution for valve position feedback under such extreme conditions.
Plant availability plays a crucial role in the process industry in particular, so building redundancy into automation technology designs is vital. This is why Beckhoff expanded its extensive range of solutions in this area to also include a software solution for redundant control operation: TwinCAT Controller Redundancy. While the robust design of the company’s Industrial PCs alone already ensures a high level of availability, Beckhoff is now expanding its product portfolio.
Food safety is always a concern for manufacturers and processors of food related items. Even though in the United States sickness from food borne illnesses is at an all time low, manufacturers are always striving to keep their customers healthy and provide quality products. This does not only mean they are concerned with just the raw materials that are going into your favorite foods, but they are diligently upgrading machinery to enhance cleanliness and efficiency.
LAPP’s ÖLFLEX HEAT 260 SC heat-resistant single-core industrial cable now carries UL AWM certification/cRU AWM I A/B. Ideal for applications subject to extreme temperatures, the ÖLFLEX HEAT 260 SC cable features polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) insulation to provide exceptional resistance to acids, alkalis, solvents, oils, other chemicals and UV exposure.
Yokogawa Electric Corporation has recently announced the release of the OpreXTM IT/OT Security Operations Center service. This new addition to the OpreX Safety and Security family is a centrally managed service based on people (service organization), processes, and technology. Targeted primarily at industrial enterprises, this service was developed by Yokogawa to improve the security of IT and OT networks.
Jonard Tools’ new Compact Cable Cutter (JIC-500) easily cuts completely through network cables, including their nylon ripcords. The compact cable cutter is specifically to be smaller in size, making it easy enough to bring anywhere. The cable cutter also features an ultra-sharp, curved blade designed to minimize cable deformation while cutting. Its large jaw opening allows a user to cut network or copper cables up to 0.50″ (12.7 mm) in diameter.
Both in 24/7 production facilities and applications with the highest safety requirements as well, as in the field of simple applications in serial machine construction, three decisive factors are particularly important in terms of cost-effectiveness: plant availability, maintenance costs and energy requirements. As a result, the demands made on switched-mode power supplies are high.
Introducing the PCB terminal blocks with Push-in CAGE CLAMP connection and levers, from WAGO. These terminal blocks allow for push-in termination of solid and ferruled conductors, allowing for intuitive and tool-free operation. Several clamping units can be held open simultaneously, simplifying the connection of multi-core cables, and testing can be performed both parallel and perpendicular to conductor entry.
Introducing the ZEN-20 I/O from Omron, a 12 Input and 8 Output relay/transistor in one unit. With the Zen-20 I/O programmable relay unit, you can do a lot of larger scale automation where the 10 I/O versions fall short. The 20 I/O unit is available in three different versions: starting with the C1 with LCD display, control/program buttons, calender and clock, then the C2 with LED status indication, and finally the C3 with the same functionality as the C1 but with a fixed I/O.
The new XTV terminal blocks can accommodate the direct insertion of all conductor types: ferruled, solid, or stranded wires. The XTV series is the first product family to feature Push-X connection technology from Phoenix Contact. Push-X operates similarly to Phoenix Contact’s popular Push-in Technology (PT) but uses a preloaded mousetrap design that keeps the leg spring depressed.
You can’t make the right decisions without the right data. If you’re manually measuring temperature and humidity in your enclosures, you’re constantly working with old data. Rapid changes and extreme environments can cause critical electronic components to fail. You need near real-time data if you want to make decisions quickly and avoid system downtime. The CSS 014 Smart Sensor and STEGO Connect put data at your fingertips remotely, in near real-time.
TTI, Inc. is stocking the Vishay RER Military, High-Reliability, Chassis-Mount Wirewound Resistor. Qualified to MIL-PRF-39009 and up to “R” level failure rate, the aluminum-housed (ERH) standard or the non-inductive (ENH) winding/molded construction gives complete environmental protection. The RER, high-reliability resistor mounts on chassis for high stability at conventional power ratings.
Increase performance and save space with Weidmuller’s Hydraulic Magnetic miniature circuit breakers. The new universal-voltage HB-SERIES Circuit Breaker from Weidmuller is the latest addition to their Hydraulic Magnetic Circuit Breakers lineup. It features modularity, ease of use, and space-saving well beyond that of conventional circuit breakers.
