Optional dynamic positioning features round off the convenience package.
In material handling applications―i.e., indoor warehouses, manufacturing facilities, automotive plants, airports, cold storage―pallets carrying products down a conveyor is a standard application. While standard, there are frequently complex problems that require exact product measurement solutions during this automated process. Conveyor speed and control, anti-collision (ZPA), safeguarding, and of course pallet profiling are among the most common challenges.
EAO enhances its robust, modular and reliable Series 09 CAN Modules with innovative product variants that offer IP67 front protection and white symbol illumination. The Series 09 Keypads and Rotary Cursor Controllers are available in a range of different variants. They all have the flexibility of interchangeable legends, but come with a choice of different halo illumination features, communication protocols and connector types for example.
Molex recently introduced an accelerometer-based Road Noise Cancelling (RNC) sensor, the first product in a new family of automotive Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) sensors. These sensors will play a critical role in combatting unwanted road, wind and HVAC car noise while reducing low-frequency sounds that increase driver fatigue.
JAE recently announced the launch of the MX72C / D Series, a squib connector for automotive SRS devices that conforms to the interface standard with omitted shorting bar (shunt-less), and is becoming popular in Europe and the United States. Recent changes to automotive passenger safety requirements worldwide is serving as a catalyst to an increased level of collision safety performance, especially in Europe and the United States is expected to grow.
Siemens Smart Infrastructure released its new public fast charger Sicharge D for the IEC markets. It is suited for highway and urban fast charging stations, city parking as well as shopping malls and provides one of highest peak efficiencies on the market at 96 percent, scalable charging power and dynamic power sharing. “With its upgradability and dynamic charging, it is a big step forward to support the future of eMobility.”
Parker Aerospace designs and manufactures a family of adaptable and scalable controllers such as our remote electronics unit (REU). REU products and technologies are used in the most advanced fly-by-wire systems today providing precise closed-loop actuation control. With the worldwide trend toward reduced aircraft wire weight, the REU provides for local actuator control signaled by high integrity data buses, significantly reducing the amount of aircraft wire needed.
Recently, Datalogic was pleased to announce the Skorpio X5, a new ultra-fast, high-performing key-based mobile computer featuring the largest multi-touch display in the Portable Data Terminal (PDT) market. Maintaining rapid, accurate and seamless data capture to provide real-time visibility is essential in applications like warehousing, fulfillment, inventory, store operations, shipping & receiving.
EnerSys is teaming up with TravelCenters of America (TA) to offer ODYSSEY Performance and NorthStar PRO Group 31 batteries for heavy duty applications in all TA locations throughout the United States. As part of this exclusive agreement, purchase of any of the ODYSSEY and NorthStar Group 31 batteries through a TA supplier will include a limited four-year full replacement warranty. NorthStar PRO Group 31 batteries have been available for purchase at TA Truck Service Centers since May 2020.
ECOexperts Automation GmbH, based in Tieschen, Austria, specializes in infrastructure solutions. One of its main focal points is the combination of automation and IT with a special focus on safety aspects such as cybersecurity and widely distributed decentralized applications. With more than 200 Industrial PCs in operation, the example of the 2,150-meter-long Kaisermühlen Tunnel in Vienna shows that modular and finely scalable PC-based control technology from Beckhoff is the optimum automation platform in this environment.
Data density is increasing rapidly and industrial backbone networks need higher bandwidths to efficiently transport large amounts of data from the field level to the control room. The DRAGON MACH4x00 series offers superior bandwidth capabilities to meet increasing data demands. With four or eight ports that can be set-up for 2.5 Gigabit or 10 Gigabit, redundant power supplies and various management interfaces, engineers will be able to handle current and future bandwidth needs without compromising on availability.
The MSP40 switch offers a unique combination of features – all designed to help network engineers and system integrators keep pace with growing bandwidth requirements in large-scale industrial networks. As more data is transferred to the network layer (Layer 3), the MSP40 switch can easily adapt to these high data levels by enabling each port to support Gigabit speeds.
The innovative MARKINGENIUS® MG3 technology offers a universal and fast identification system. The thermal transfer printer quickly marks any brand of terminal blocks, and also creates wire markers, panel rating plates, push button legends and more.
The Swiss company VT Verkehrs- und Industrietechnik AG (VT AG), experts in track and points construction, were faced with the task of modernising the central control and monitoring system for eight points of varying types. They worked with Pilz to develop a generic solution based on the automation system PSS 4000-R for railway applications. The result is a centralised controller for all types of points.
Parker Hannifin has recently announced the latest addition to its Global Vehicle Motor (GVM) family of high-power, permanent magnet AC motors (PMACs). The GVM310 has a 310mm frame and provides a traction solution for on-road and off-road commercial electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). These include construction vehicles, city buses, light construction and materials and mining vehicles.
nVent Electric plc has recently introduced a redesigned nVent SCHROFF website. The new SCHROFF.nVent.com features solutions for several industries including aerospace and defense, data center and networking, rail and transportation, telecommunications and test and measurement. It offers a best-in-class digital customer experience to enable design engineers to find, design and buy products more efficiently.
