Emerson recently introduced augmented reality (AR) technology to its Plantweb Optics asset performance platform, delivering enhanced access to real-time diagnostics and analytics, as well as live remote assistance, to industrial plant workers responsible for maintaining and optimizing plant equipment. With AR technology integrated into Plantweb Optics, companies can improve productivity, collaboration and operational performance, without being limited by shortages of skilled workers or travel restrictions.
TE Connectivity has added Extra Rugged Circular connectors (XRC), Sealed Rectangular Connectors (SRC), ML-XT connectors, and XRC terminals to its portfolio of connectivity solutions. The connector products, which were formerly produced by Molex, are perfect for harsh environment applications.
Moxa has recently unveiled the EDS-2000-EL, with extra small switches to free up valuable space inside your machines and cabinets, allowing you to accomodate more devices for growing network demands. The EDS-2000-EL switches allow you to enhance data flow efficiency simply by flipping the DIP switches to enable QoS and BSP, which reduces the chances of data loss and increased operating costs for your applications.
Software Version 10.11 enables you to use the real-time Ethernet SafetyNET p RTFL to configure safe data exchange between PNOZmulti 2 base units (PNOZ m B0 / B1) and the safe motion solution PMCprotego DS. PMCprotego DS is composed of the servo amplifier PMCprotego D and the safety card PMCprotego S3. 32-bit data is exchanged via RTFL, enabling short reaction times for your application.
The ACOPOSinverter P86 is a series of frequency inverters for three-phase synchronous and induction motors, with or without encoders. It covers a wide power spectrum from 0.75 to 75 kW and is particularly well-suited for packaging, conveyor system, material processing and hoisting gear applications.
Versions of Hubbell-Wiegmann floor mounted, freestanding and disconnect enclosures in carbon steel and stainless steel are now available with KwikHinge door hinges. KwikHinge hinges enable quick and easy removal of doors. This makes common tasks like subpanel installation or door modifications substantially easier.
Captron SENSORswitches are capacitive pushbuttons which are activated without pressure, using a hand or other parts of the body. The buttons have a determinate sensing distance, which may be altered by varying the approach speed and/or damping factor. A quickly approaching finger will achieve a higher sensing distance than a slowly approaching finger.
Pepperl+Fuchs offers a new, compact industrial box thin client—the BTC14. The thin client features the state-of-the-art VisuNet RM Shell 5 firmware, the latest generation of thin client firmware for industrial-grade security and stability.
The new Bluetooth upgrade for Endress+Hauser radar level measurement instruments makes it fast and simple to remotely commission one of these instruments or monitor their device, diagnostic and process data via an app on a standard smartphone or tablet.
A compact manufacturing system from Swiss-based Mikron developed with Festo pneumatic and electric components throughout is helping meet the burgeoning global demand for disposable face masks. This new scalable, open source system can produce 50-100 protective mouth-nose masks per minute or up to two million per month. With Festo contributing engineering support, it was developed in just six weeks instead of the usual six months.
Quabbin DataMax Extreme Industrial Ethernet cable jackets were developed to survive the many industrial hazards that commercial jackets will not. Quabbin Cat5e Industrial Ethernet cable has a UL PLTC rating allowing it to be installed in a cable tray without the need for conduit.
To further develop the next-gen manufacturing workforce, FANUC America, a leading automation solutions provider, is expanding its CNC training offerings to include 5-axis simulation.
