AutomationDirect has added additional safety mats, edges, and bumpers from ASO Safety Solutions. These safety products protect people and machinery from harm. Mats detect the presence of personnel on horizontal surfaces (usually the floor), edges can be used on any surface, usually near possible crushing or shearing points, and bumpers are used in applications involving vehicles or other moving equipment.
Festo’s new manually adjustable VFOE meets all the criteria users are seeking in a one-way flow control valve for either supply or exhaust air in standard industrial applications. With its compact, polymer body design, the VFOE is both smaller and up to 50% lighter than comparable metal-bodied flow control valves. That polymer difference and customized manufacturing allow Festo to offer VFOE as a low-cost option which doesn’t sacrifice Festo’s renowned quality.
Recently, Emerson introduced the TopWorxTM DX PST with HART® 7. Units provide valuable valve data and diagnostic information, enabling the digital transformation of process applications. The new DX PST integrates seamlessly with existing valves and control systems, giving operators access to critical valve data, trends, and diagnostics that can be used to predict and schedule maintenance.
Franklin Electric Co., Inc.brand Pioneer Pump® announces the launch of the ElectricPAK™, a modular offering of electric-driven pump packages that helps users get a pump and motor configuration onsite more quickly and efficiently than custom-built units. The new line of pump packages has been engineered from the ground up to offer a fully streamlined experience for both owners and operators.
Optical sensors detect an object by emitting light beams, which are reflected by the material. In this way, reliable object detection can also be guaranteed for shiny or reflective objects. The sensors do not fulfil a safety function. However, they do emit a switching signal, which is evaluated by safe control technology from Pilz, such as the small controller PNOZmulti 2 or the modular safety relay myPNOZ. For example, optical sensors are used in solutions for packaging machines for safe monitoring of carton infeed. The solution is TÜV-SÜD-certified for PL d / SIL 2.
Allied Electronics & Automation supplies Siemens’ SIRIUS 3SK safety relays, which deliver flexible, consistent, cost-effective and user-friendly solutions for a comprehensive range of autonomous safety applications, as well as simplify the planning, commissioning and expansion of today’s modern industrial plants. They are designed for quick implementation and, without any programming, enable the fail-safe monitoring of mechanical and electronic sensor safety functions, sensor leads and shutdown circuit actuators, as well as their own functionality, and execute safety-related disconnections when dangers arise.
Littelfuse, Inc., an industrial technology manufacturing company empowering a sustainable, connected, and safer world, announced the new Pxxx0S3N SIDACtor® Protection Thyristor Series, which safeguard exposed interfaces in industrial and ICT applications, including RS-485 data interfaces and AC/DC power supplies.

WEG has just added to its portfolio a complete solution with high performance and safety combined with flexibility and connectivity. The CFW900 is a high-tech VSD for driving and controlling three-phase induction and permanent magnet motors. Providing excellent static and dynamic performance, high precision in torque, speed and position control, it can solve a wide variety of applications due to its high overload capacity.
Hammond Power Solutions (HPS) has a new addition to their line of power quality products – HPS Centurion D1 dV/dT Filter. The HPS Centurion D1 is designed for use between variable frequency drives (VFD’s) and motors when long lead lengths are used. It combines an inductor and parallel resistor network to mitigate both high frequency components and voltage spikes between the VFD and motor.
Panduit Corp. announces the launch of its new FlexCore™ Optical Distribution Frame [ODF], a versatile front-access cabling system that provides necessary protection for critical connections. Utilizing innovative cable management and simple, intuitive cable routing, the FlexCore ODF simplifies and reduces time for moves, adds, and changes. With standard doors with locks and optional locks for each enclosure, the FlexCore ODF solution enables multi-tiered security that is important for multiple client access.
The Shielded Field Term Plug joins the existing TX6A™ UTP Field Term Plug on the market. Much easier to terminate in the field than typical modular plugs or competing field terminable plugs, the virtue of having to only handle two parts to the TX6A™ Field Term Plugs provide a more compact size to meet the varied needs of PoE devices. Devices such as wireless access points, security cameras and sensors are a few of the many that deliver an effective ease and cost savings in your network.
EZ Ops, the provider of oil and gas operations software that identifies top priorities to produce the cleanest and most profitable hydrocarbons in the world, has announced the second release of its augmented intelligence operations platform with new capabilities for dynamic routing and day scheduling. EZ Ops latest platform release helps operators efficiently plan their daily schedule in under three minutes with certainty they are doing highest value work during their shift, with the least drive time and lowest greenhouse gas emissions.
Mitsubishi Electric’s Economy Solutions use their industry-leading technology to create ready-to-use solutions, allowing OEMs and system integrators to integrate high-precision motion control quickly, effortlessly, and affordably into their applications.
