The WLS28 LED strip light with IO-Link or Pro Editor capability has a sturdy aluminum housing and shatterproof windows, making it an ideal general-purpose LED light for machine, enclosure, or other industrial lighting applications.
As more and more components are networked, clear marking in plant, control cabinet, and distributor construction has become increasingly important. Mobile printing systems that can be controlled using an app make marking in the field of electrical installation easier.
Cognex Corporation recently introduced Cognex Edge Intelligence (EI). The platform provides barcode reading performance monitoring and device management to help customers prevent downtime and boost productivity of manufacturing and logistics operations.
In a country as vast as Canada, fresh and process water often is piped significant distances through remote areas where there is no possibility of providing flow measurement devices with energy or data transfer capability via power or land lines.
AutomationDirect has added new high-precision inline strain wave gearboxes to their lineup of SureGear gearboxes. Strain wave technology offers many advantages over planetary and helical gearboxes, such as much higher gear ratios, higher efficiency, lower heat and noise generation, and lifetime zero backlash.
AutomationDirect has added SIM drive couplings to their line of mechanical power transmission products. SIM drive couplings are power transmission components used to couple the shafts of various mechanical devices, often of different sizes, and compensate for shaft misalignment.
Using B&R automation technology in maritime environments is now easier and more flexible than ever thanks to additional certifications by DNV, KR, LR and ABS for the X20 control and I/O system. B&R has also expanded the temperature and input voltage ranges of the X20 system.
Designed for compact machines, the CP1H is the advanced high-speed all-in-one compact PLC.Four high-speed counters and four pulse outputs are ideal for multi-axis positioning control. The CP1H-XA comes with four analogue inputs and two analogue outputs built-in.
Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. recently announced the release of its LoadMate Plus engineered solution. LoadMate Plus is a robot cell which can be easily moved for efficient use, and is targeted towards manufacturers in CNC machine tool applications that find themselves facing a labor crunch.
Sensors and actuators are the eyes and ears of your equipment. Your machines and processes are limited by what your sensors can tell you. What if you can get more information without increasing cost, engineering time and complexity?
Parker Hannifin has recently announced that its mechanical flange system for machines and plants (with working pressures of up to 420 bar) – “HPF – Parker High Performance Flange System” – has gained DNV GL approval for marine applications.
The new device connector clearly sets a signal for the future in the area of pluggability, as there is no comparable system on the market. The special features of the new product all revolve around flexible and simple assembly.
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.
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.
Lumberg Automation Sensor/Actuator Connectors include M8 and M12 connectors and cordsets with flexible and robust design as well as a large number of standard and special options.
New versions of the safety laser scanner PSENscan enable even greater productivity for safe area monitoring: The 17-pin versions and ME version (master encoder) of PSENscan provide further digital inputs and outputs to implement up to 70 switchable configurations and monitor up to three separate safety zones simultaneously.
