Welcome to the computational power behind the realms of industry – the power that keeps manufacturing running and drives the industrial future in the digital world: the SIMATIC Industrial PC portfolio. Discover the performance, scalability, and connectivity of SIMATIC IPCs that strongly support a new player in the digital industry: AI.
With AutomationWare’s Mech Series E-actuators, engineers can obtain accurate, controllable movement for almost any performance and size requirement. The series features an advanced ball screw transmission system to handle a wide range of dynamic loads and speeds with exceptional thrust performance. The units come with integrated brushless or high-speed stepper motors and an integrated feedback encoder. In addition, the Mech Series delivers positioning accuracy to ±0.01 millimeter. Users can reduce space and cost by coupling the motors to the gearboxes or specify a sensorless version that uses motor control criteria to detect the correct position.
The HCRTP-MINI device provides protection against thermal runaway when power FETs and other components fail. It can be used for applications sustaining operating currents up to 140A at rated voltages of up to 60V DC. HCRTP-MINI can be used in electric, hybrid, or conventional vehicles to protect such modules as: DC/DC converter, Smart Junction Box, ABS/ESC, Active Dumper system, HVAC, Cooling Fan, Turbo generator (48V), Dual battery network (12V), PTC or Resistive Heater, Battery Disconnect unit, Electronic Power Steering (EPS), or Starter.
The Cable Entry Systems from Panduit offer a safe, organized method to transition both terminated and unterminated cables through enclosures and electrical equipment, providing strain relief while maintaining IP/NEMA ingress sealing ratings. These Cable Entry Systems offer the lowest total installed cost compared to traditional cable glands or cord grips, simplifying the installation and managing numerous cables in a very dense space.
Designed for human-collaborative (HC) interaction, the highly flexible ArcWorld® HC is a complete robotic welding solution for the fabrication of small- to medium-size parts. Ideal for replacing or supplementing manual weld processes, such as pre-assembly before welding in larger robotic workcells, this pre-engineered mobile cart system is well-suited for high-mix, low-volume production.
Since launching their collaboration in 2021, Comau and Rockwell Automation Inc. have been jointly working to leverage the power of robotic solutions to help businesses increase the speed of innovation and maximize their manufacturing efficiencies. Comau recently joined Rockwell Automation at the 31st annual Automation Fair®, November 16 -17 in Chicago, Illinois (BOOTH #1135) to showcase the benefits of the full integration of Comau’s articulated robots with the unified robot control platform by Rockwell Automation.
Featuring built-in hardware security, the Cosy+ range allows users to access PLC-based machines securely from anywhere, and do commissioning, troubleshooting and programming online. With the new Cosy+ Wireless version, users can connect to their machines via Ethernet, Wi-Fi or cellular link depending on the industrial situation, enabling effective and sustainable support of machines by using secure remote access. The remote access to Ewon Cosy+ gateways is done over Talk2M® – the world’s largest 3rd party industrial cloud service, with more than 400,000 Ewon gateways connected.
In industries where high system availability is key, knowledge about system states and operating states is essential. Operating data can be used to identify, localize, and correct critical operating states and anomalies promptly before they result in expensive production downtime. The new, communicative 24 V supply system increases the data transparency of the entire system and provides information on all relevant operating and diagnostic data.
Cognex Corporation introduces a series of Modular Vision Tunnels designed for high-speed, high-throughput logistics operations. Built upon Cognex’s DataMan® image-based barcode reading platform, these tunnel solutions accurately read codes on packages at high speeds with short gaps, giving an edge to companies that want to increase sortation throughput and descrease processing times for e-commerce and store fulfillment.
AutomationDirect has added new stainless-steel specialty inductive proximity sensors from Contrinex. These new proximity sensors are designed for extreme environments and are offered in 3mm to 50mm diameters with protection ratings up to IP69K.
In this video, Siemens uses an industrial PC to show how they test the reliability of the electronics against vibration damage.The Simcenter vibration qualification testing solution is compatible with any shaker. An affordable, entry-level 4/8-channel Simcenter SCADAS Mobile is perfect for vibration qualification testing of components and consumer products. An easy-to-use, multi-tasker, it can easily handle all noise, vibration or durability testing campaigns.
AutomationDirect has added IDEM Skorpion rotary trapped key systems. These safety systems control access to running equipment with locks and rotary keys. To disable power to machinery and unlock a gate, the key is turned and removed from the control switch. The released key is then inserted into the gate access module to unlock the gate.
Since the beginning of October, all the agents at the security company SOS Cash & Value have been equipped with the intelligent vest from Wearin’, the startup whose Internet of Things (IoT) technology is specifically designed to reinforce the safety and efficiency of its mission-critical teams on the ground.
Some applications require different supply voltages. What previously had to be solved with several switch amplifiers can now be handled by one single device of the new switch amplifier product family from Pepperl+Fuchs.
Rockwell Automation recently announced that it is delivering an intelligent edge management and orchestration platform with an edge application ecosystem – based on zero trust security and open industry standards – accelerating digital transformation for industrial customers.
With the integration of OPC UA Reverse Connect into its dataFEED OPC Suite Extended V5.22, Softing enables secure communication between OPC UA components in OT and IT that are separated by firewalls or DMZs
