Expanding Automation in the Food Processing Industry

The food processing industry has embraced automation, and indications are that its adoption in the food and beverage industry is expanding rapidly. According to a robotics report by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), in 2021, “the food and beverage industry installed 25% more robots, reaching a new peak level.” A reason for this growth, the report suggests, may be that the robotics industry offered hygienic solutions, which were in demand during the Covid-19 pandemic.

PULS Power: PIANO PIC Series

PULS Power: PIANO PIC Series

The cost-oriented PIANO PIC series includes 1-phase 24V and 48V DIN rail power supplies with 120W, 240W or 480W output power. The PIANO product family is focused on basic functionality without compromising efficiency, durability or reliability. For applications which are operated exclusively in areas, where no wide range input is needed (e.g. Europe, China or India) PULS offers units with an AC input voltage of 200-240V. These units are based on a simpler circuit design and less components, which allows further cost reduction.

Beckhoff: ATRO Modular Industrial Robot System with Additional Link Modules

Beckhoff: ATRO Modular Industrial Robot System with Additional Link Modules

The modular industrial robot system ATRO (Automation Technology for Robotics) from Beckhoff was first presented to the public in 2022. Fast-forward to today, and more link modules are now being added to increase the flexibility of the ATRO system even further, including in the form of multi-arm robots. The standardized ATRO motor modules with integrated drive functionality are combined with link modules in different geometries, offering users the flexibility to set up a variety of robot kinematics.

SICK: Multi Physics Box Condition Monitoring Sensors

SICK: Multi Physics Box Condition Monitoring Sensors

The Multi Physics Box Condition Monitoring sensor allows for continuous condition-based monitoring of, for example, motors, pumps, conveyor systems or fans. It measures vibrations, shocks, and temperature, thereby providing indications of potential faults and machine failures. If the measured values exceed the individually configurable thresholds, an alert is output. For vibration values, the vibration monitoring thresholds for machines according to ISO 10816-3 can be implemented via a multi-stage alert.

Murr Elektronik: MICO Fuse Intelligent Power Distribution
