LEMO is thrilled to announce the expansion of its field-proven High-speed data transfer portfolio with the release of USB 3.1 and Single Pair Ethernet connectors, available as of November 15th, 2022.
Introducing the CWG Series Type 1 Galvanized Lay-In Wireway from Hammond Manufacturing, with a construction designed to ensure electrical continuity and to permit fast and easy indoor installation of multiple wireway runs. These runways, formed from 16 or 14 gauge, unpainted G90 galvanized steel, have UL-50 Type 1 and cUL Type 1 standards.
The POWER CAGE CLAMP® provides the proper clamping force for conductors up to 35, 50, 95 and 185 mm2 (2, 2/0, 4/0 AWG and 350 kcmil). WAGO’s high-current, rail-mount terminal blocks are ideal for energy-intensive applications in machinery and equipment manufacturing, as well as energy production. These terminal blocks are also approved for Ex e applications.
Allied Electronics & Automation is continually expanding its extensive portfolio of preventative maintenance products designed to keep industrial equipment up and running and provide customers with peace of mind.
AutomationDirect has added additional sizes and styles of FATH T-slotted rail hardware. Several new types of fasteners have been added including socket head cap screws, flanged button head socket cap Torx head screws, flat head socket cap screws, self-tapping screws, and reducer bushings.
AutomationDirect has added additional profiles of SureFrame t-slotted rails. The new 30mm x 60mm and 60mm x 60mm profiles added to the 30 Series lineup allow for greater project flexibility. These new profiles offer the same durability as existing SureFrame rails and are compatible with slotted rails/hardware from most other manufacturers.
X1 seal achieves both high contaminant resistance as well as high grease retention thereby improving machinery reliability. The X1 seal further improves sealing performance, thereby contributing to extending machine tool maintenance cycles and reducing environmental impact.
AutomationDirect has proudly entered the industrial vision market with the addition of the Datalogic Smart Vision sensor. This sensor is an intelligent self-contained system that can capture an object’s image as it passes by and make decisions based on the details of that image.
Siemens recently introduced the Virtual Product Expert (VPE), a new support program for its CNC machine tool users, machine builders, dealers and importers. Through the VPE program, customers can now interact directly with a SINUMERIK CNC product expert and have their specific operation and programming questions answered — from the basic functions of the control to the most advanced machining technology aspects of the hardware and software suites. Best of all, this service is offered to all Siemens CNC community members at no cost.
Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. exhibited its innovative solutions for a resilient and sustainable future at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) from September 12-17 in Chicago. The booth showed an enhanced CNC controller, the M800V/M80V Series, which is currently slated for an early 2023 release in the Americas.
The new Eplan Platform 2023 is streamlining and accelerating project planning with new cloud-based device management and multi-standard support for schematic macros. This means that users can get results more quickly – especially when working on international projects – due to the simplified device data management system while increasing overall project quality.
Wachendorff is expanding its range of Ethernet-based encoders: Encoders with the EtherNet/IP protocol are now available, including the alleged most compact in the world: the WDGA58F. Wachendorff’s R&D team has succeeded in minimizing the sensor to an installation depth of just 46.5 mm.
4-tube technology increases measurement accuracy for loading, unloading, and transporting hydrocarbons in the oil and gas industry, and optimizes the flowmeter line for additional applications.
For the first time in machine and system engineering, the MX-System enables completely control cabinet-free automation solutions. By consistently combining, applying and further developing Beckhoff’s expertise, a holistic, modular pluggable system has been created.
With the OHV210 mobile handheld readers, Pepperl+Fuchs is expanding its range of handheld readers to include an extremely powerful variant: on the one hand, the new devices are equipped with a Bluetooth® 5 interface for low energy consumption. On the other hand, the OHV210 handheld readers reliably read all common 1-D and 2-D codes—even on reflective or differently colored surfaces. In addition, they offer a very high resolution of 1.2 megapixels.
Use the “key in pocket” maintenance safeguarding system to protect your staff from the hazards of an unplanned restart of plant and machinery in maintenance situations. This solution guarantees that hazardous plants cannot be put back into operation while there are people in the danger zone.
