One of the most important things during a machine installation is to ensure the flatness of the base. With the new XT20 and XT22 we have facilitated handling, which makes for faster measurements and fewer fault sources. More reliable machine installation, put simply. Both transmitters can be used for flatness and straightness measurement. In addition, the XT22 can direct the laser beam at 90 degrees to the laser plane, which means you can solve virtually all types of geometric measurement jobs. The area of use therefore does not stop at measuring the flatness of bases. The XT22 also has a higher technical specification for straightness thanks to fiber laser technology, and can take measurements at distances up to 40 m. The XT20 can take measurements at distances up to 20m but is also IP55 rated water and dust proof.

GE Digital recently announced its newest addition to the Proficy Software portfolio, Proficy Orchestration Hub. This new software solution provides out-of-the-box tools to unify manufacturing product information from disparate data systems, transforms and organizes raw business-oriented information into production-ready formats, and orchestrates the information across factory floor systems at a single site or multiple sites. Proficy Orchestration Hub allows manufacturers to stay in sync with constant updates to manufacturing product data to provide higher quality and throughput. It can enable faster time to market with accurate product data based on unified information mapping data from different systems such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) into Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES).
Mornsun’s K78 series is a high-efficiency switching regulator with the packages of SiP (system in package), SMD, or DFN, and the efficiency is up to 96%. They are designed as a pin-compatible replacement for LM78 linear regulators without any heatsink. K78 series offers excellent performance and advantages – such as high efficiency, wide input voltage range, and highly accurate output voltage. An automated production factory can guarantee quality and reliability at a low cost. Such a perfect solution makes designing a switching regulator circuit redundant. The regulated output K78-R4 series released has undergone a fundamental change in dimension and packaging which is manufactured via the chiplet SiP process, and the appearance of R4 has changed from simple and rough to refinement.
Siemens Digital Industries Software launches the latest release of its industry leading NX™ software, part of the Xcelerator portfolio of software and services. The latest release of NX software leverages advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced simulation capabilities, while continuing to invest in significant productivity and capability enhancements to enable its community of designers, engineers and manufacturers to innovate more quickly.
Littelfuse, Inc., a global manufacturer of leading technologies in circuit protection, power control, and sensing, recently announced the compact cartridge fuse series available that’s rated at 500Vac/Vdc with current ratings from 40A to 63A and a 10,000A interrupting rating. The 607 Series high-current, high-voltage cartridge fuse, designed for overcurrent protection applications, provides a robust solution for demanding high-voltage power supply circuits. The 500V fuse rating is suitable for both AC and DC inputs. With a 10mm x 32mm cartridge body, a single 607 fuse requires less board space than previous designs that used multiple lower current rated fuses in parallel. As a result, designers can reduce the board space they reserve for protection components when designing high wattage equipment.
LAPP has introduced its SKINTOP® MULTI-M round multi-cable bushing system for applications requiring a high packing density. Up to 30 entry points are available, depending on the MULTI-M bushing version, to accept cables, wires, conduits and pneumatics and media conduits. These metric-style units offer a large, 4- millimeter clamping range per entry point compared to just 1 to 2 millimeters typically offered by competitive products.
