The ZMV Series mini snap acting switches can be actuated from different angle into the pin plunger version.
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.
VadaTech has launched a 1U Open VPX rackmount chassis with two 3U payload slots and integrated Intel E-2176M
Amid increased awareness of hygiene and safety caused by the recent COVID-19 pandemic, STI has expanded their line of contactless IR switches.
New ProSense multi-mode and off-delay timer relays offer the flexible programmability of a multi-function and multi-range time delay relay together with a universal input voltage. The TRM series multi-mode timer relays provide an easy way to select time delay functions and time range options. Available models offer timing functions up to 10,230 hours, with various power supply ratings.
As the manufacturing industry evolves and changes, there are often space constraints for installing products in existing cabinets or machines. To keep up with changing connectivity requirements while saving you time and effort, the EDS-2000-EL Series unmanaged switches include 5-and 8-port Ethernet options that provide a small footprint, long-lasting durability and low latency to ensure a quicker response around MES applications.
CUI Devices’ new slide switch offering includes compact package sizes as small as 10 x 2.5 x 5.9 mm for space-constrained applications.
Simplifying installation, NKK expands low profile FF01 emergency stop swtich series to include 12″ wire leads.
To meet the need for highly accurate and reliable level measurement in hygienic applications, Emerson has developed the Rosemount 1408H Level Transmitter, the world’s first non-contacting radar device designed specifically for the food and beverage industry. Dedicated features include a hygienic compact design, fast sweep technology, exceptional radar beam focusing and IO-Link communications, helping manufacturers to optimize the efficiency of their operations, reduce product losses and ensure food safety.
When it comes to Industry 4.0, the Industrial Internet of Things and digital transformation, the process industry —especially the field within the process plant—has been the blind spot of the industrial landscape. An innovative technology developed in cooperation with twelve companies and four standards organizations is finally putting an end to this: with the Ethernet Advanced Physical Layer, or Ethernet-APL for short.
E-Switch has launched a tactile switch that provides a life expectancy of up to 5 million cycles, while offering a choice of multiple force options (160gf, 200gf, and 350gf).
The Scalance MUM856-1 – the first industrial 5G router from Siemens – is available now. The device connects local industrial applications to public 5G, 4G (LTE), and 3G (UMTS) mobile wireless networks. The router can be used to remotely monitor and service plants, machines, control elements, and other industrial devices via a public 5G network – flexibly and with high data rates.
The ZMV Series mini snap acting switches from C&K can be actuated from different angle into the pin plunger version.
Flexible manufacturing doesn’t have to mean implementing advanced technologies like the Omron LD Series mobile robots. If you’re trying to boost flexibility on a budget, there are plenty of simpler devices that can dramatically increase production line layout options. Let’s take a look at some of these. The A2W Series is a recent Omron innovation in switch technology that reduces the installation cost of switches and enhances application flexibility.
