Electrical devices are essential elements of any electronic system, and many modern electrical devices have made it easier and more economical than ever for manufacturers to optimize new equipment and upgrade legacy equipment. Industrial electrical solutions ranging from wire, cable, and connector products to disconnect switches, motors, motor controls, and circuit protection, power conditioning, and lighting products can help manufacturers improve operator and equipment safety, production efficiency, productivity, and sustainability and can also help reduce energy consumption, operating costs, and unplanned downtime.
AutomationDirect has added new ProSense D80 series large rectangular proximity sensors to their extensive lineup of inductive proximity sensors. This series offers long sensing distances up to 60mm, large sensor faces, and robust IP65- or IP67-rated PPE housings for harsh industrial environments. These “pancake” style proximity sensors are available with 80 x 40 x 105mm or 80 x 40 x 92mm housing dimensions, AC- or DC-power options, and a variety of termination styles.
Doosan Robotics recently announced the launch of its E-SERIES, the company’s NSF-certified collaborative robot line specifically created for the food and beverage (F&B) industry. Named for its technological “edge” the E-SERIES has the flexibility to make virtually any food and beverage while offering extremely competitive pricing and industry-leading safety and hygiene standards. Doosan Robotics’ E-SERIES recently received the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) certification for food hygiene safety with features such as sealed gaps between the cobot’s connecting axes.
The all-new PISA-B multi-channel electronic circuit breakers help you to optimize the availability of your DC 24 V systems right away and grow with your application. In the event of a fault, PISA-B disconnects the affected channels only and ensures constant power supply to the remaining loads. This means individual faulty connections can be rapidly identified, isolated and rectified.
The AMS 100i from Leuze is one of the smallest laser positioning systems available on the market. This makes it the perfect solution for tight installations spaces. Whether on the stacker crane, automated guided vehicle, or lifting system: In automated intralogistics, the sensors used for positioning applications must be able to operate on a small footprint in many cases. The new AMS 100i from Leuze is up to the task without sacrificing performance. With its small dimensions of 105 x 68 X 75 mm, it is one of the most compact laser positioning systems on the market.
AutomationDirect has added new Wenglor OPT series cylindrical and rectangular ultrasonic sensors. These new sensors, available in diffuse and through-beam sensing styles, offer sensing distances up to 2000mm, rugged stainless steel and plastic housings, and protection ratings up to IP68 for use in challenging industrial environments. Wenglor ultrasonic sensors are IO-Link v1.1 compatible, offering advanced configuration options such as through-beam, synchronous, and mute operating modes, window teach-in, and external temperature compensation. These sensors are easy to set up and install and are UL listed, CE marked, and RoHS compliant.
Learn why electricians are using Can-Snap to secure and protect NM cable faster and more conveniently than before. This connector saves time by being faster and easier to install than traditional cable clamps – simply snap in place – it protects cable from knock-out damage while providing strain relief, and it secures NM cable from size 14/2 to 6/3 in 1/2″ and 3/4″ sizes.
AutomationDirect has added more Contrinex small rectangular sensors to their extensive lineup of inductive proximity sensors.
