Bihl+Wiedemann offers with the speed monitors an effective method for safe processing of signals from sensors and encoders, enabling for example a safety reduced speed for setup operations. Each speed monitor can be incorporated into the control feedback circuit using adapters and cables already available, without affecting the actual control process.
Switching point, switching window, filter, sonic beam width, output logic: when a new sensor is installed in a machine, a variety of parameters must be adjusted to the application. The parameter server function via the IO-Link interface is the solution for parameter exchange within seconds. This ensures maximum system availability.
With SEW-Eurodrive’s new mechatronic industrial gear unit, they will be the first supplier to deliver industrial gear units, motors and decentralized frequency inverters in a standard package. The inverter-controlled Plug & Play solution reduces project planning to a small number of interfaces.
Power-on Clutches are used to couple two parallel shafts. The armature hub assembly is mounted to the same shaft as the rotor assembly. The armature hub accommodates a pulley, gear, sprocket, etc., to transmit torque to the second shaft. The field assembly is mounted on the shaft and retained by a loose-fitting pin or bracket through the anti-rotation tab.
The IronHorse GSD8 series of DC drives is a microprocessor-based design with non-volatile memory storage that is programmable with adjustable parameters, programmable alarm outputs and offers a digital closed-loop algorithm for motor control.
As it continues to evolve, adding new capabilities and connectivity, the revolutionary Festo Motion Terminal (VTEM) is challenging machine and process engineers to look beyond the limits of conventional pneumatics to a world of new possibilities opened up by this software-driven valve terminal.
Every so often a game-changing idea like Festo’s new CPX-AP-I decentralized remote I/O reaches the market, giving machine designers new possibilities to increase the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of their projects. In fact, the genius of the design and the potential unleashed by these CPX-AP-I control modules earned Festo a coveted reddot product design award earlier this year.
With the free, PC-based Festo Automation Suite commissioning software, getting a new drive package up and running couldn’t be simpler and faster. Only five easy steps are needed to parameterize and configure all parts of an installation, from the mechanical system to the controller using the Automation Suite’s commissioning wizard. It’s all very intuitive.
The new CU81xx uninterruptible power supply (UPS) series is designed for universal use in the field. With flexible and cost-saving connection options including One Cable Technology (OCT) for uninterruptible power supply (UPS-OCT), the CU81xx series is suitable for a broad range of applications.
Yaskawa’s next generation U1000 Industrial Matrix drive brings a synergy of innovation and green technology to the forefront of industrial applications. With the advanced simplicity of a direct AC to AC design, the U1000 Matrix delivers superior harmonic performance, full power regeneration, and application flexibility.
The second generation Toshiba MTX2®-15 NEMA 3R outdoor medium voltage adjustable speed drive (ASD) is one of the most innovative outdoor ASD offerings to date. A smaller footprint and improved mean time to repair are the result of an advanced enclosure design and power section topology. The MTX2-15 is specifically designed for mounting in remote locations from the jungle to the desert or applications where a building does not exist.
Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. has announced the release of its MELIPC Series of industrial-use computers for data computing, edge computing, remote monitoring, and the integration of hardware and software technologies. The MELIPC Series is targeted towards OEMs and end users running general manufacturing applications, and especially those who require a computing and data monitoring solution that takes up a limited amount of space with a small footprint.
Acknowledging the ix Industrial connector, the HARTING Technology Group has been awarded this year’s “Innovative Product Award“ in China. The coveted award was bestowed by the “MM modern manufacturing “publication, the counterpart to the specialist magazine “MM Maschinenmarkt “– which both belong to the German Vogel Communications Group, headquartered in Würzburg.
B&R’s two new software packages greatly simplify model-based machine development. The B&R industrialPhysics package allows developers to quickly and efficiently generate a digital twin for developing and testing machine software. B&R MapleSim enables the detailed modeling of physical processes and the calculation of force and torque values.
Emerson is releasing PeakVue Plus, a technology enhancement that brings prescriptive analytics to the field to help users improve the availability of rotating machinery.
Where fluctuating power demand is thrown into the mix or single-axis solutions are implemented, designers are increasingly turning to Rexroth’s Sytronix variable-speed pump drives.
