OKW has added four new larger sizes to its EASYTEC IIoT/sensor enclosures range.
TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity and sensors, introduces its Mezalok High-Speed Low-Force (HSLF) XMC connector to support data rate speeds up to 32+ Gb/s for improved signal processing on embedded computing applications.
The updated EZ-Array with IO-Link provides a much-anticipated upgrade. This allows for more data availability via process data and enables significantly faster data transfers. The EZ-Array series of measuring light curtains feature closely spaced infrared beams that detect objects as small as 5 mm. Updated IO-Link receiver models with expanded process data options offer the ability to access additional information.
Parker Hannifin, a global supplier of motion and control technologies, has launched the SCPSi pressure sensor with IO-Link functionality to meet customer demand in more and more smart industrial environments. The sensor, which has an optimised, compact design, enables particularly simple and fast commissioning and parameterization thanks to the IO-Link interface.
Sterling Systems & Controls, Inc. announces the availability of its new Mill Monitor. Particle size reduction equipment, also known as grinders and classifiers, are used to reduce the particle size of dry solids. These devices are rotating machinery and therefore a bearing condition monitor is advantageous. Sterling Systems & Controls, Inc. designs and manufactures high quality bearing condition monitors for use with high speed mills or classifiers.
Yokogawa Electric Corporation recently announced that it has developed the OpreX Multi-Sensing Remote I/O as an addition to its OpreX Components lineup. OpreX Multi-Sensing Remote I/O devices accurately obtain data from multiple sensors, convert it to a digital format, and transfer it to a higher-level system for monitoring. The first model is the VZ20X Analog Sensing Unit, which was released for sale on August 31 in 64 countries and regions in the Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.
AutomationDirect has added Stahl hazardous location alarm buzzers to their lineup of control and indicating devices. The STAHL YA11 series signal alarms sound an audible warning, alert, or information in the event of equipment malfunctions, safety issues, or when systems are starting up. These alarms provide an omni-directional audible signal, are intended for use in hazardous areas or the harshest environments, and have hazardous area certifications for international use.
Banner’s versatile Q5X series delivers best-in-class laser sensor performance for a wide variety of detection functions. Now its capabilities have been expanded even further. The latest model extends detection distance from 2 to 3 meters, incorporates analog and discrete outputs, and features increased excess gain to easily identify traditionally challenging targets.
AutomationDirect has added Gefran WPG and WPP series magnetostrictive linear position transducers. These transducers work like other linear position sensors by translating a linear position to an electrical signal. However, they are contactless, which provides a longer life because there is no mechanical wear; since they use magnetostrictive technology, they are also immune to electromagnetic interferences.
Teledyne FLIR, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:TDY), recently introduced the Neutrino SX8 mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) camera module and four additional Neutrino IS Series models designed for integrated solutions requiring HD MWIR imagery with size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP+C) constraints for commercial, industrial, defense original equipment manufacturers (OEM), and system integrators.
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.
(Wuppertal) The Schmersal Group has further developed its compact RSS260 safety sensor and equipped it with new software – the sensor now offers four additional, optionally selectable functions: – Feedback loop monitoring – Automatic restart / manual restart – Reset – Emergency stop monitoring. On the F0/F1 version, the RSS260 assumes the tasks of a safety relay module, i.e. monitoring of the movable safety guard as well as of the contactors directly actuated by the sensor outputs.
Norstat now offers a line of Inductive Proximity Sensors with full stainless steel housings and sensing faces making them an ideal solution for harsh environments. The FME ( M8 plug cable exit ) and FMM ( M12 plug cable exit ) series of inductive proximity sensors comes standard with a full AISI 316L stainless steel housing and sensing face making these sensors ideal for harsh environments or applications where a sensor with a higher degree of protection is required.
Norstat now offers a Light Curtain line from ReeR, SpA that are specifically designed for the measurement , detection and recognition of objects. The Micron line of Light Curtains from ReeR are designed for industrial or civilian applications where it is necessary to detect, measure, or recognize specific objects or shapes. Depending on the number and position of the beams engaged by an object, the measurement sensors can provide real time information to a PLC or PC.
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.
