The modular safety relay myPNOZ would not be called “modular” if it couldn’t easily be embedded in your application. We explain exactly how that works in our FAQs about the new product. With myPNOZ you have, on one hand, the flexibility to exchange individual modules even after commissioning. On the other hand, you also have the possibility to choose the right combination from 12 different expansion modules as well as semiconductor and relay outputs.
maxon presents a new frameless BLDC motor with matching encoder that really comes into its own in dynamic applications. At the same time, we are also presenting a new series of ECX flat motors for a wide range of robotics applications. This heralds the arrival on the market of several solutions for design engineers grappling with tight spaces.
Size matters, and in the world of industrial automation, providing exceptional performance in a highly compact package can be an enormous advantage. With this in mind, encoder manufacturer POSITAL has unveiled a fully functional prototype of their new miniature multi-turn kit encoder for integrated motor feedback. With a diameter of only 22 mm and a height of 23 mm (0.87”/0.9”), the new device is the world’s smallest multi-turn kit. It features a self-powered rotation counter that does away with the need for backup batteries or complex gear systems.
The new ADN-S ultra compact pneumatic cylinder is another space-optimized product joining Festo’s core range of quick availability products. This double acting cylinder is ideal for small movements in tight quarters.
Piezo Motion’s novel series of linear and rotary piezoelectric motors represent a quantum leap in design construction of compact ultra-precision, high-performance motor technologies. Manufactured from modern lightweight reinforced engineering thermoplastics, the new range of piezoelectric motors combine superior nanometer precision with fast response at a very economical cost.
POSITAL has announced that its family of absolute rotary encoders has been expanded to include support for the popular IO-Link communications interface. Simplify your communications system, acheive magnetic multiturn sensing without gear or battery, get condition monitoring via temperature sensor and vibration (coming soon), use hardware I/O-Pin for preset, reset or cam switch, enjoy simple wiring reducing costs, and benefit form automatic parameterization after device replacement.
In combination with low-frequency electromagnetic fields, UBITO’s Wiegand sensors can be used to provide energy for low power applications in environments where high frequency transmission is challenging. For example, the Wiegand pulse can be used as an electric source to charge implantable medical devices, such as capsule endoscopes or pacemakers, using lower frequency electromagnetic waves that can be transmitted through the skin without any damage to human tissue.
The combination of single-cable connectivity and POSITAL’s cost-efficient kit encoders provides motor manufacturers and machine builders absolute position feedback for their devices in an economical and efficient way. A single-cable approach to motor connectivity reduces component count and simplifies installation procedures. By supporting both 2- and 4-wire implementations of the BiSS Line interface, POSITAL ensures compatibility with PLCs and controllers from most major manufacturers.
The updated EthernNet/IP communications interface helps optimize data transfer therefore minimizing downtime due to transmission delays. This improved protocol not only has advanced network management tools, it also supports a communications cap which allows installers to define the device’s IP address through a set of three rotary switches. High temperature warnings, monitored acceleration levels, and a time counter can all now be accessed through this upgrade. POSITAL’s implementation of this upgrade meets all requirements of the ODVA’s conformance testing.
The compact RSF-5 miniature actuator with a zero backlash Harmonic Drive® gear delivers high torque with exceptional accuracy and repeatability. The actuator features an integrated servo drive utilizing CANopen® communication. This evolutionary product eliminates the need for an external drive and greatly improves wiring while retaining high-positional accuracy and torsional stiffness in a compact housing. This new miniature actuator product is ideal for use in robotics.
Implement numerous applications with the servo motors PMC EZ. Their compact design is a convincing feature, also making them ideal for space-critical applications. What’s more you benefit from high dynamics and low cogging torques. The servo motors PMC EZ are suitable for use with the multi-axis system PMC SI6 and the compact system PMC SC6.
Modularity and flexibility are gaining increasingly higher significance in device development: Due to digitalisation and industrial transformation trends, development times for new devices are becoming increasingly shorter, while prototyping is playing an ever more vital important role. Moreover, the limited choice of available standard components often hampers device development. HARTING offers PCB connectors that meet the industry’s demands for modularity, flexibility and accelerated device development.
AutomationDirect has added LS Electric servos systems that provide extremely accurate motion control and include the most requested features – setup wizards, auto-tuning, built-in indexer, and more – in an extremely cost-effective package. The L7S family of brushless servo systems is fully digital and capable of covering a broad range of motion control applications.
ADVANCED Motion Controls has released 7 new micro-sized FlexPro servo drives rated to output 60A continuous. The 60A continuous current rating is 33% higher than previous models for the same size making these our highest power-density servo drives to date. This offering includes PCB Mount, Machine Embedded and Development Board form factors.
Danfoss Power Solutions is introducing the PLUS+1® XM100 controller — its first autonomous hardware solution — to the market. The new controller is the first in an upcoming product family, which will support customers in integrating autonomy into off-highway applications like road building, specialty agriculture, material handling, ports and airports, lawn and turf care and mining.
Control Techniques, part of the Nidec group of companies, has launched a new high IP variant of its Pump Drive F600, delivering class-leading flow control in a format suitable for use outdoors without cabinets and in demanding environments.
