B&R has equipped the ACOPOS P3 servo drive with safe torque determination. This allows the use of numerous safety functions that previously would have required an external sensor. The cost of machinery directive compliance is reduced. Safe torque determination is based on an internal current measurement and enables the safety functions Safely Limited Torque (SLT), Safe Speed Observer (SSO) and Safe Brake Test (SBT).
With the new EL7062 dual-channel EtherCAT Terminal, Beckhoff enables the direct connection of two stepper motors in the medium power range of up to 3 A and for a voltage range of 8–48 V. With flexible parameterization and minimized channel costs, the flexible motion interface is ideal as a low-cost drive for a wide range of stepper motor applications. In an extremely compact form factor, the 24-mm-wide EL7062 EtherCAT Terminal contains two stepper motor output stages, two digital inputs for limit switches, etc.
What do we not see as we go about our day-to-day travels that helps keep us safe? From automatic gates or elevator lifts to cranes and metro railcar doors, what are the controls behind the scenes? Same situation in factories or warehouses. Conveyors to move finished goods or shipments, machine presses used to stamp parts, recycling systems, scissor lifts and many other applications.
In many applications it is essential that analog variables such as pressure, flow, and temperature are monitored in order to ensure safe automation, so Wieland Electric has now extended the portfolio for its samos PRO COMPACT safety controller. With three new input modules, namely SP-SAC, SP-SAR4, and SP-SACR22, it is now possible to reliably detect and further process analog signals as well.
The new MX-System from Beckhoff is quite simply a revolution in control cabinet construction. With the launch of this system, the company now offers a flexible, space-optimized, and intelligent system solution that completely replaces the conventional control cabinet in a bid to revolutionize control cabinet construction and automation altogether. When it comes to the automation of machines or plants, system supplier Beckhoff Automation offers virtually all of the required components in a wide performance range…
binder, a major supplier of industrial circular connectors, offers various A-coded M12 connectors as part of its 763 product series, which are equipped with a square flange housing for assembly. A special feature is the positionability of the A-coding, which supports variable cable installation. Industry-standard, standardized M12 round connectors with A-coding according to DIN EN 61076-2-101 are an established part of sensor and actuator technology in typical factory automation and robotics applications.
Introducing the T30R-1515 radar sensor from Banner Engineering. The 15° × 15° models of the T30R radar sensor can now measure the distance to objects at closer range. While the minimum presence/absence detection range of 150 mm has not changed, the nearfield measurement range has been improved. The sensor can now measure the distance to items as close as 200 mm away (a 100-mm improvement over previous specifications of 300 mm).
To better serve the power requirements of global automotive manufacturers, Emerson has expanded its SolaHD™ SCP-X power supply line with a new higher output model supplying 10-Amp, 24 Vdc output capacity. A compact, standalone power solution, the new IP67 SCP-X High Output power supply has “L-Code” connections that enable the use of 5-pin L-Code M12 cables specifically designed for transmitting higher currents, especially in confined spaces.
