HARTING: Han L32 B Offers Optimal Use Of Installation Space

Using an L32 B connector allows users to replace two size 16 B interfaces — saving over 40% of installation space. This makes it possible to transmit power, signals and data with fewer interfaces and fewer components. It also cuts the time required to assemble interfaces. The resulting lower weight also benefits a number of other applications, e.g. in robotics. The solution not only saves space, it also makes a contribution to lower consumption – and thus stands for sustainable product design.

Banner Engineering: D-Cell Photoelectric Q45 Sensor Delivers Four Years Battery Life to Self-Contained, Wireless Sensor Family

The Q45 line of photoelectric sensors is now available in a D-cell battery version, extending its maintenance-free service interval to four years. This doubles the battery life of existing versions with smaller batteries. The Q45 sensor line is a family of wireless, self-contained units for coordinating multiple machines in part-counting, and OEE applications. Each model combines a sensor, wireless node, and an internal battery in a single device.
