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).
With the servo amplifiers PMC SC6 and PMC SI6 you benefit from flexible, combinable drive controllers in a compact design. For six axes in the control cabinet you need an overall width of just 180 mm! Fast commissioning of the PMC SI6 and PMC SC6 is achieved by means of the electronic motor nameplate, which provides all mechanically and electronically relevant motor data in digital form – easily and with safe parameter settings.
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.
CLICK PLUS PLCs combine the simplicity of the original CLICK PLC with advanced features, including Wi-Fi capability, MQTT communication, data logging, and mobile access. The new CLICK PLUS 2-slot CPU offers an additional built-in option module slot for even more PLC I/O customization. Over 400 option slot I/O module combinations are now possible for a single stand-alone PLC unit.
METCASE’s popular UNIMET and UNIMET-PLUS desktop and portable instrument enclosures now feature new improved bezels – enhancing their aesthetics and making them even more customizable.
AutomationDirect has added the new ProSense T2 series of multi-mode, on-delay, off-delay, fleeting, and on-interval timer relays. These low-cost relays have a compact design with easy-to-use potentiometers, rotary switches, and/or DIP switches for selecting time delay functions and timing ranges. The T2R-M series multi-mode timer relays provide 4 functions in one unit including on-delay, off-delay, interval and single-shot with timing ranges of up to 1000 minutes.
Complete drive system, consisting of servo drive and servo motor, with seamless connectivity in hardware and software. Servo drive CMMT-AS and servo motor EMMT-AS are connected via a one-cable solution and can be put into operation very quickly and easily using the Festo Automation Suite. Servo drive CMMT-ST for low voltages from 24…48 V DC and 150…300 W continuous power – extremely efficient moving and positioning.
