B&R’s mapp Temperature software package provides a new pre-programmed way to get manufacturing systems up to temperature. At the push of a button, the Soft-Start function heats up machine components gently to minimize heating element fatigue – without any of the tedious programming that used to be involved. Homogeneous heating reduces mechanical stresses and allows for controlled evaporation of liquid residues in the machine.
The safety laser scanner PSENscan offers productive area monitoring and dynamic navigation of automated guided vehicles (AGV). Applications with PSENscan can be adapted flexibly to customised tasks. Previously, ready-made ROS modules (Robot Operation System) have been available for navigation. Now we have the PSENscan Standalone C++ Library, which makes it easy to use the laser scanner also in Windows or Linux production environments.
The ZMV Series mini snap acting switches can be actuated from different angle into the pin plunger version.
DATA MODUL is introducing its newest addition to its Ruggedized TFT line, the sunlight readable and lower power consumption displays with Blanview technology from Toppan (OrtusTech). Toppan’s unique TFT-LCD technology, known as “Blanview,” enables the display to create high contrast and crisp images, even in bright circumstances. In addition, the displays are characterized by low power consumption and low heat generation.
SCHURTER brings optical sensing to conventional switching, with its new TTS Touchless Switch. The TTS is a robust stainless-steel switch, designed for indoor or outdoor public use to prevent the spread of pathogens. The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly raised awareness about the transmission of viruses and bacteria via surfaces, particularly as it relates to man and machine interface.
Robotic-assisted surgeries offer more precise motion control compared to the capabilities of the human hand, enabling less intrusive methods to reduce patient pain, scarring and recovery time. In surgical robotic applications, joysticks with integrated switches often serve as the primary operator interface. Selecting the right joystick and electromechanical switches plays a large role in the performance and functionality of any medical device, but particularly a surgical robotic station.
The freely configurable, bright and capacitive IO-Link Touch opens up numerous new HMI application possibilities for a wide range of raw industrial applications. With the advent of digitisation in the industrial sector, machine manufacturers can develop completely new machines and equipment. At the same time, this creates an even more intensive operating experience for the end user.
Hammond Power Solutions (HPS) has a new addition to their line of power quality products – HPS Centurion P Passive Harmonic Filter. It is specifically engineered to mitigate harmonic currents created by non-linear loads. The initial product release has ratings from 5 to 500 horsepower. It improves power quality by simultaneously reducing harmonics and improving true power factor, resulting in an efficient and reliable solution.
Stewart Connector, a Bel group company, recently announced the addition of M12 X-Code to free end cable assemblies to their M12 X-Code cable assembly offering which are ideal for factory and industrial environments. The robust M12 X-Code to free end cable assemblies feature a TPE jacketed cable and an IP67 rated 8-pin male M12 X-Code plug that support up to Cat 6a performances.
binder improves the material and the manufacturing process of the Series 712 & 702 snap-in connectors In the subminiature circular connector market, binder has a strong portfolio of high-quality products that are constantly being refined. By optimizing the manufacturing process of the Series 712 and 702 in terms of quality and safety, binder is taking another step toward state-of-the-art customer needs.
Software-defined waveform monitor line adds six new models with smaller footprints, affordable entry points, and unique tools for every use case.
VadaTech has launched a 1U Open VPX rackmount chassis with two 3U payload slots and integrated Intel E-2176M
New medical grade computer keyboard prevents the spread of infections with smooth, durable, and easy to sanitize design.
Intercomp’s TS30™ CPU with touchscreen indicator is now NTEP Class III/IIIL Certified for use in static wheel load weighing.
Amid increased awareness of hygiene and safety caused by the recent COVID-19 pandemic, STI has expanded their line of contactless IR switches.
KMC Conquest BAC-5900 series controllers are designed to control building systems and HVAC equipment. The integrated alarming, scheduling, and trending enable these BACnet Advanced Application Controllers to be powerful edge devices for the modern smart building ecosystem. The controllers feature simple, menu-driven setup choices using an STE-9000 series digital sensor, which can be installed permanently as the room sensor or used temporarily as a technician’s service tool.
