Non-glare Aluminosilicate glass provides up to 6X the strength of standard soda lime.
The LÜTZE wiring system product family has been expanded to include the new EMC click elements for AirSTREAM rail profiles. Like the previous click element for hat profiles, the shield clamps and spring shield clamps of the premium EMC accessories can be used. Shielded cables of all kinds from 10-50 mm can be installed safely and tidily. The EMC click elements can be clicked into the AirSTREAM rail profile or in the DIN hat profile without tools.
B&R now makes it easier than ever to implement safety communication between machines and machine modules. An update to its mapp Safety software now enables programmable safety functions to be used across complex manufacturing systems with virtually no additional effort – greatly reducing the time spent implementing systemwide safety functions. To achieve Industry 4.0 functionality, modern manufacturing equipment needs to be densely interconnected.
Secure flying leads using WAGO’s new mounting adapters for the MCS MAXI 6 and 16 PCB Connection Systems with levers. A flexible yet secure mount? It sounds contradictory, but it’s not. WAGO’s new mounting adapters for the MCS MAXI 6 and 16 PCB Connection Systems with levers prove that security and flexibility can co-exist. As industry-firsts, these mounting adapters allow flying leads with cross-sections up to 25 mm2 to be easily secured to a DIN-35 rail or panel.
Introducing the Type 12 Lay-In Wireway from Hammond Manufacturing, designed to enclose and protect electrical wiring from dirt, dust, oil and water. All sections and fittings of the wireway are completely open on each side to allow wires and cables to be placed into the wireway without ‘pulling through’. The Type-12 has UL 870 Type 1 and CSA Type 1 standards, unless marked, and complies with NEMA Type 12 and IEC 60529, IP54 standards.
Using an L32 B connector allows users to replace two size 16 B interfaces — saving over 40% of installation space. This makes it possible to transmit power, signals and data with fewer interfaces and fewer components. It also cuts the time required to assemble interfaces. The resulting lower weight also benefits a number of other applications, e.g. in robotics. The solution not only saves space, it also makes a contribution to lower consumption – and thus stands for sustainable product design.
AutomationDirect has added PS-AMC motion controllers designed to work seamlessly with select Productivity PLCs to provide accurate, coordinated, plug-and-play motion control. These controllers are capable of up to 4 coordinated axes of motion per controller (PS-AMC4) with differential encoder feedback for each axis and a maximum switching frequency of 1MHz. Up to 24 general-purpose high-speed inputs and 12 general-purpose high-speed outputs are also included.
The Q45 line of photoelectric sensors is now available in a D-cell battery version, extending its maintenance-free service interval to four years. This doubles the battery life of existing versions with smaller batteries. The Q45 sensor line is a family of wireless, self-contained units for coordinating multiple machines in part-counting, and OEE applications. Each model combines a sensor, wireless node, and an internal battery in a single device.
(Wuppertal) The Schmersal Group has further developed its compact RSS260 safety sensor and equipped it with new software – the sensor now offers four additional, optionally selectable functions: – Feedback loop monitoring – Automatic restart / manual restart – Reset – Emergency stop monitoring. On the F0/F1 version, the RSS260 assumes the tasks of a safety relay module, i.e. monitoring of the movable safety guard as well as of the contactors directly actuated by the sensor outputs.
Genesys™ 3U 10kW and 15kW Programmable Power Supply Series from TDK is RoHS 2 Compliant.
OKW’s new SLIM-CASE is now available with a smooth-top for push-buttons, keypads, LEDs and more.
Keystone has expanded its selection of electronic hardware and screws to include a series of metric & imperial threaded Titanium Socket Head Cap Screws.
Electrical control panels are an integral part of any automated manufacturing process. While control systems are a fundamental aspect of electrical engineering, many people aren’t aware of the key control panel components required to function safely and reliably.
The Sealcon Twilock-S connection system is an extremely simple and highly reliable quick fastening system. Sealcon’s Twilock-S metric circular plug-in connectors mate to Speedtec by Intercontec/TE Connectivity making adaptivity between these two connector systems technically possible. All it takes is just one click, a slight twist and the plug-in system goes from “Open” to “Close”; making it child’s play to plug in a connector even where access is quite difficult.
Dinkle has launched the 0171 series of push-in-design (PID) terminal blocks that feature illumination from underlying device LEDs to ensure clear visibility for users.
