Pixus Technologies, a provider of embedded computing and enclosure solutions, has recently announced a new implementation of its ruggedized enclosure utilizing NI’s Ettus Research brand Software Defined Radio (SDR). The RX310-X03 enclosure is designed to MIL-STD-810 for shock/vibration/environmental and MIL-STD-461 for EMI. It features MIL 38999 connectors for the front and rear I/O interfaces.
The easiest way to control the speed directly on the machine is to use an analog potentiometer. However, wearing gloves in dusty or humid environments, for example, makes operation more difficult. Therefore, the use of the robust SIRIUS ACT ID key-operated switch as a digital potentiometer is particularly suitable under these environmental conditions. This alternative with freely programmable IO-Link electronic module enables precise and fine-grained speed adjustment due to its tactile detent positions.
Data Centre and Plant Managers working in small and mid-sized businesses often find themselves searching their buildings for unused space to house the company’s IT and other enclosures. Mailrooms, empty offices, janitors’ closets…all have been repurposed into data closets holding one to a few racks. This approach may be the right choice in terms of square footage needed, but when it comes to proper climate conditions for sensitive IT equipment, it could not be more wrong.
Littelfuse, Inc. recently launched an industrial manufacturing and processing web page focused on safety. “The new industrial-focused web page puts educational resources at the fingertips of safety and manufacturing professionals,” said Debra Jayson, Senior Marketing Manager, Littelfuse Industrial Business. “Worker safety is a major concern in this industry. This new page provides application information and training materials to help improve electrical safety in key areas such as shock and arc-flash protection.”
SOUTHCO has recently introduced the latest product in its successful line of magnetic catches, with a new version that combines strength and style. Constructed of corrosion resistant stainless steel, the M5 Magnetic Catch combines a highly polished finish with the holding power of rare earth magnets to provide a robust and attractive solution for keeping doors and panels open or closed.
Struggling to have proper heat distribution within your enclosure? Don’t let temperature and condensation derail your mission-critical applications. STEGO is here to help with a wide array of FAN HEATERS that are available in both AC and DC variants. These high-performance heaters are designed to distribute heating power evenly and consistently throughout the whole enclosure. This series of STEGOs heaters are ideal for enclosures where space is at a premium.
Cinch Connectivity Solutions, a Bel group company, now offers a 2.92mm Quick Connect Adapter and High Frequency SMA Quick Connect Adapters, designed to adapt from a standard threaded jack to a Quick Connect Plug. These adapters are designed to allow for rapid test connections to devices using 2.92mm and SMA connectors, resulting in a more efficient testing process by reducing the time and effort required to connect and disconnect the test cable.
The new Power Panel C80 offers the combined advantages of a powerful controller and a modern operator terminal in a single HMI device. The C80 installation is compatible with B&R Automation Panels. Machine builders thus have full flexibility when using the new panel and can scale their machine to meet changing performance and cost requirements. With its low installation depth, the C80 multi-touch HMI is suitable for particularly compact machines where space in the control cabinet is limited.
Leviton recently unveiled a new LC Unibody Fiber Connector engineered with Spectro-Link Technology, enhancing its offering of fiber trunks, harnesses and patch cords. This new technology will enable data center operators and enterprise network managers to better perform in higher density, extended reach environments, with an increasing number of physical connections.
The health of industrial machinery may be determined by measuring the equipment’s vibration signature. If a gear, fan, or other essential component is out of alignment or otherwise functioning incorrectly, the vibrations of the machine will change. Monitoring vibrations can help to proactively identify problems before they substantially impact operations. Vibration analysis typically happens as part of a regularly scheduled maintenance cycle with data being compared monthly, quarterly, or annually.
Emerson recently introduced a complete corrosion and erosion monitoring portfolio with digital capabilities and full integration with the Plantweb digital ecosystem through the new Rosemount 4390 series of corrosion and erosion wireless transmitters and Plantweb Insight Non-Intrusive Corrosion application. The monitoring portfolio turns existing offline corrosion probes into online tools to monitor for the risk of corrosion or erosion in oil and gas processing.
binder has recently made key additions to its M16 connector series. They are versions that meet the very high data speeds required by the latest sensor-based automation systems and an ASIG-compliant model used in wireless networks including 5G. binder has been at the forefront of M16 connector development since the 1970s working to widen the range of applications for these versatile circular connectors.
The QUINT POWER family has been extended to include a new powerful power supply with 110 V DC. It is suitable for applications from 110 V DC to 135 V DC. This means that you can now use just one device to supply applications that previously required several devices to be connected in series. This saves space in the control cabinet and reduces your wiring effort.
With the new plug-in battery connections, Phoenix Contact provides you with a time-saving and safe connection technology for energy storage systems. The range includes connectors for busbar connection and battery pole connectors for applications of up to 1,500 V. Connectors for connecting to the busbar simplify the installation of plug-in systems in energy storage systems. The connectors with reverse-polarity protection are plugged onto the rear side of a storage system, eliminating the need for wiring work.
Take advantage of Bihl+Wiedemann’s new generation of advanced 30 V power supplies. It is specially designed for ASi-5 communication and is also ideal for parallel ASi-5/ASi-3 communication. They have optimized all six new 30 V power supplies for use with our ASi-5/ASi-3 Gateways. Interferences common in power supplies, are reduced to a minimum in areas relevant to ASi-5 and ASi-3 communication.
Contec Americas Inc. has recently added a new 12.1” projected capacitive (PCAP) touch monitor to its current medical HMI line-up. Due to the increased automation and digitalization of medical services, medical device manufacturers are under increasing pressure to optimize the performance and longevity of their medical equipment. This shift has resulted in a growing need for reliability, durability, and revision control in medical technology.
