LUTZE: New LOCC-Box Generation for Electronic Current Control
The newest addition to Balluff’s portfolio of magnetic field sensors can be used on any pneumatic cylinder with a C-slot, regardless of the manufacturer. The universal design allows the new models to replace several previous versions. Using fewer sensor variants reduces inventory needs and, therefore, costs. Flush-mountable and available in an extremely short design, these were designed for space-critical applications.
Multitouch technology is the focus of many new developments in the human machine interface (HMI) and medical fields. Based on projected capacitive technology, multitouch panels have undergone further development into an industry-compatible input system. The high electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) interference immunity requirements, adequate water tolerance and the glove operation option qualify it for industrial applications.
nVent Electric plc, a global provider of electrical connection and protection solutions, recently introduced the newest features for nVent RAYCHEM TracerLynx electric heat tracing (EHT) design software: advanced work packaging and heat mapping capabilities. nVent TracerLynx software is designed to reduce total installed and power distribution costs. TracerLynx software combines integrated heat management system (HMS) design capabilities with the client’s 3D plant modeling systems.
Marking an industry breakthrough, Emerson has redefined reliability with a new 24 Vdc DIN-rail mounted Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) control module that achieves a useful service life of fifteen years and a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) in excess of 1.5 million hours. Available in 240W and 480W models, the SolaHD SDU DC-B control module helps improve availability of mission-critical devices, while simplifying commissioning, reducing maintenance, and driving down the Total Cost of Ownership across multiple industries.
Rugged 13.3” industrial-grade LCD monitors from TRU-Vu Monitors offer shock and vibration resistance.
TDK-Lambda offers 120W and 240W three phase DIN rail AC-DC power supplies with a +20% peak rating and low inrush current energy level.
High-quality membrane switches are characterized by their reliability in all applications and their environmental conditions. Membrane switches used in highly specialized HMI applications such as in an industrial automation environment or for medical technology require more in-depth experience in development and design.
AutomationDirect has added new ReeR MOSAIC safety controller components for expanded capability. The Reer MOSAIC (MOdular SAfety Integrated Controller) makes it easy to manage safety systems and sensors. It is modular, expandable, and configurable for managing all safety functions of a single machine or an entire plant. The new MOSAIC-MV series speed monitoring expansion modules are an excellent addition…
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.
From milling machines to pumps and fans to wind turbines—wherever vibrations occur, condition monitoring and predictive maintenance play a crucial role in ensuring personnel and plant protection. In order to perform reliable measurements of vibration velocity and acceleration in low- or high-frequency ranges, Pepperl+Fuchs offers three new vibration sensor series.
TT Electronics, a global provider of engineered technologies for performance critical applications, recently announced the launch of its new 700 watt medical-grade enclosed power supply, the TAAM700. With a small 6.7 inch x 3.66 inch footprint, the TAAM700 provides 17.8W per cubic inch and a wide operating temperature range from ‐30°C to +70°C for thermally challenged environments.
SX-Series safety laser scanners protect personnel, equipment, and mobile equipment within a user-defined region. Banner’s new SX5-B6 can continuously scan a 275° area to create a two-dimensional protected zone around a potential hazard or obstruction. It can be mounted horizontally or vertically, installed to monitor the space around corners, or positioned centrally to observe two separate 90° zones, or attached to automated guided vehicles (AGV) to prevent collisions.
Banner introduces an additional sensor to its Q45 family, increasing the amount of model types within the series and broadening the applications that can be monitored. The Q45DPSD Differential Pressure Sensor continues to build upon the line of sensors compatible with Banner’s wireless network, and lets users monitor an additional application. Each Q45 sensor includes Banner’s reliable, field-proven wireless architecture and sensing transducers, eliminating the need to order multiple components.
Rittal North America, a global manufacturer of industrial and IT enclosures, introduces the new Perforex MT 2201 automated milling terminal that enables accelerated throughput for enclosure modifications. Reducing labor cost and improving delivery times for panel building and control manufacturing is key for integrators and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
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).
