Pfannenberg, Inc., a leading global manufacturer of thermal management and signaling technologies, announces the PMF LED-Hi LED multifunction light, ideal for both indoor and outdoor use in industrial environments, including automotive, plant construction and logistics, open-cast mining, heavy industry, and maritime applications.
As part of the SICK AppSpace eco-system, the programmable SIM10xx Sensor Integration Machines offer multiple sensor data acquisition and fusion processes, thereby providing space for new application solutions. The acquired data is processed and visualized for important information, for example quality control or process analysis. In addition, the IoT gateway functions enable connection from the edge to the cloud via the Internet in the context of Industry 4.0.
SU, UK, UT and TU series round body and UQ series cubic plastic ultrasonic distance sensors from AutomationDirect are now available in sensing distance ranges from 60mm to 8000mm, in metal or plastic housings, and M18 (18mm) and M30 (30mm) barrel or head sizes. Discrete and analog output sensors and models with both analog and discrete switching outputs are available.
Premset dramatically improves the most important aspects of today’s MV Switchgear. It introduces a compact (SF6-free), smart grid ready solution with the simplest installation and service procedures due to insulation and shielding of all live parts. Premset is the first ever MV Switchgear to attain the SILVER AWARD in electrical safety (voted by Plant Engineering).
HVL/cb switchgear is a new product for medium voltage power distribution that integrates the two technologies of a fast 3-cycle vacuum circuit breaker with a grounding disconnect switch into a small footprint.
Aluminum and copper conductors can be installed quickly, easily, and safely in the new UL-approved UBAL Al/Cu terminal blocks from Phoenix Contact. The contact chambers are pre-lubricated with antioxidants to simplify conductor pretreatment. The clamping part is made from an aluminum alloy. The lead-free tin surface enables both aluminum and copper conductors to be connected in the same terminal block.
You will be impressed by the new TRIO POWER power supplies with IP67 protection from Phoenix Contact, which feature a weatherproof design for use in harsh industrial environments as well as under extreme ambient conditions.
4mm (smooth) and 5mm (M5 threaded) round photoelectric sensors are now available from AutomationDirect in a wider range of sensing distances in both diffuse and through-beam sensing configurations. These DC-powered metal sensors provide high accuracy in minimal mounting space and are ideal for use in a variety of short or long-distance sensing applications.
The NITRA pneumatic AC Series of coalescing air filters from AutomationDirect allows finer removal of moisture, vapor and oil mist from compressed air applications to provide optimal performance for pneumatic systems and components. NITRA coalescing filters are available in a range of port sizes from 1/8″ to 1/2″ FNPT; replaceable 0.3-micron filter elements are standard, with an optional 0.01-micron filter element available for stricter filtration requirements.
The smallest robot controller in its class, the ultra-compact YRC1000micro minimizes installation space and optimizes performance with power and precision. A small footprint and lightweight cabinet make the YRC1000micro ideal for factories with high density layouts, where stacking of controllers may be required.
Introduced specifically for manufacturers branching out into robotics, the new Smart Series suite of products allows quick and easy implementation of a robot system. The Smart Series product line includes Yaskawa’s HC10DT, MotoMini, GP7, GP8 and GP12 robots as well as the Smart Pendant and the YRC1000micro robot controller.
Yaskawa Cockpit is a new software platform that monitors, accumulates and visually delivers operational data in real time for networked production environments. This state-of-the-art data collection and visualization software tool easily connects hardware devices across an entire production environment for asset management, predictive maintenance analysis, alarm notification and data management.
The next generation of robot programming, Smart Pendant radically changes the way a robot is programmed, providing simplified programming and fast implementation. Its easy-to-understand, tablet-based interface offers a simple learning curve compared to the standard pendant and is ideal for novice robot programmers.
Ideal for high-speed assembly and handling applications, the GP7, GP8 and GP12 robots are fast, compact and efficient. Each of these six-axis robots offer the highest payload, fastest speed and highest wrist allowable moment in its class.
Featuring power and force limiting technology, Yaskawa Motoman’s HC10 and HC10DT robots work safely with, or in close proximity to humans by stopping the robot in the event of contact with an operator. Dual channel torque sensors in all joints constantly monitor force to quickly react to contact.
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.
