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
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.
