Control of wastewater treatment plants is a complex task requiring thousands of measurement devices to provide constant data throughout the water cleansing process. However, control networks in many of America’s aging treatment plants were built using equipment requiring serial connections, and not today’s Ethernet communication standard.
Allied Electronics & Automation is now stocking Schneider Electric’s new Altivar ATS480 soft starters, which are designed to support widespread digitization efforts in the industrial automation industry.
For the first time in machine and system engineering, the MX-System enables completely control cabinet-free automation solutions. By consistently combining, applying and further developing Beckhoff’s expertise, a holistic, modular pluggable system has been created.
The POWER CAGE CLAMP provides the proper clamping force for conductors up to 35, 50, 95 and 185 mm2 (2, 2/0, 4/0 AWG and 350 kcmil). WAGO’s high-current, rail-mount terminal blocks are ideal for energy-intensive applications in machinery and equipment manufacturing, as well as energy production.
SCHUNK has developed a versatile gripper for small components for handling of delicate and fragile workpieces. The intelligent EGK proves its strength in challenging and varied tasks in the laboratory industry or electronics manufacturing.
Introducing the CWG Series Type 1 Galvanized Lay-In Wireway from Hammond Manufacturing, with a construction designed to ensure electrical continuity and to permit fast and easy indoor installation of multiple wireway runs.
An all-in-one control platform for applications requiring high-speed processing, machine control, safety, reliability and maintainability. The Omron Robotics Integrated Controller (IC) perfectly synchronizes automation technology so that customers can improve the speed and accuracy of their production.
Rockwell Automation, Inc. has recently announced that it is delivering an intelligent edge management and orchestration platform with an edge application ecosystem – based on zero trust security and open industry standards – accelerating digital transformation for industrial customers.
During the SPS trade fair in Nuremberg on November 8 to 10, Siemens presented Version 18 of its engineering framework TIA Portal (Totally Integration Automation Portal). If industrial companies are to shorten their time-to-market, counteract the lack of skilled workers, and remain competitive, they need efficient automation engineering that can be quickly modified to meet new requirements.
Siemens recently introduced the Virtual Product Expert (VPE), a new support program for its CNC machine tool users, machine builders, dealers and importers. Through the VPE program, customers can now interact directly with a SINUMERIK CNC product expert and have their specific operation and programming questions answered.
Rittal features a wide range of power disribution options, including busbars both regular and compact sized, and both mini- and maxi-PLS, and much more.
As 5G deployments continue to roll out, technologies — including small cells and repeaters — will need to be integrated to help enable widespread connectivity and the vast throughput promised by next-generation networks.
Switches perform central tasks in networks. As intelligent infrastructure components, they read incoming data and forward it to the port with the corresponding receiver. Murrelektronik’s IP20 Managed Switches allow Ethernet devices communicate with each other via network connections.
Introducing the EPSITROM COMPACT power supply from WAGO, a single-phase supply with an output voltage of 24 VDC, 1.3 amps, and a pluggable picoMAX connector. Features a switched-mode power supply, a stepped profile for installation in standard distribution boards, and more.
Compatible with the Yaskawa HC10, HC10DT, HC10XP and HC10DTP collaborative robots, the HC10 Workstation is an economical solution for integrating HC10 robots with the high-performance YRC1000 controller into a single package. This mobile station is well-suited for arc welding, assembly, machine tending, and pick and place tasks.
AutomationDirect has added IDEM Skorpion rotary trapped key systems. These safety systems control access to running equipment with locks and rotary keys. To disable power to machinery and unlock a gate, the key is turned and removed from the control switch.
