The FLIR VS290 is an industrial thermal and visual videoscope system designed to help professionals quickly and safely find hidden faults and dangers in difficult-to-access locations. Featuring a 160 × 120 true thermal imager and FLIR MSX® (VSC-IR32 and VSC-IR33 probes), VS290 videoscopes give users the power to see and measure invisible hot spots before catastrophic equipment failures can occur. The small, sleek tips allow for easy inspection through tight or confined openings, improving productivity and reducing diagnostic time.
Rittal announces the new RiPanel online enclosure configurator – making it easy for machine and control system design engineers to individually configure industrial enclosures.This saves time, helps to prevent errors, increases flexibility with data saving or exporting, and speeds up processes through integrated interfaces. OEMs, machine builders, and control manufacturers need to customize complex products such as enclosure systems for applications. So, machine and control system design engineers need configurators for individual enclosures that make the process easy.
HPS Titan™ X encapsulated transformers are designed for industrial and hazardous applications requiring conformity to IECEx; complimenting our existing HPS Titan N product. The transformer core and coil is completely encapsulated in epoxy and silica, providing excellent protection from airborne contaminants and prevents the ingress of moisture. The removable hinged door and factory installed grounding lugs, reduce installation time and money.
Endress+Hauser’s new Netilion Water Network Insights (NWNI) provides water and wastewater operators with all the critical data from their operations, from any location, any time of day and on any screen – a control room monitor, or a laptop, tablet or smart phone. Such unrivalled transparency can generate operational improvements, even important cost savings. NWNI interfaces with all levels of a water system wherever they are, offering utilities and process water monitors tailor-made solutions from a single source. These include everything from real-time monitoring of all field devices, providing components for data recording, transferring and archiving to performing data evaluation and one-of-a-kind forecasting functions.
POSITAL’s digital display units offer a cost-effective way to provide direct measurement readouts. Depending on the type of sensor, the display units can be ordered with Analog, SSI or incremental inputs. Thanks to their compact size and sturdy construction, they can be used for machine setup tasks or as a cost-effective way of monitoring machine status right on the factory floor. Limit warnings or cam-follower functionality can also be displayed.
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.
