Simple from the get-go: Festo’s economical SBSI vision sensor is ideal for any user

Festo’s latest vision sensor, the economical SBSI, provides quick and easy installation and commissioning, even for someone lacking expert knowledge in industrial vision systems. Whether the vision sensor is destined to read codes or carry out simple quality inspections, the all-in-one SBSI series can be commissioned in just three steps: adjust the image with auto functions, select detectors and define the output. Everything needed for optics, lighting, evaluation and communication is fully integrated in the device.

 

 

 

Festo’s Simplified Motion Series – electric drives that prove less is more

Festo’s Simplified Motion Series – electric drives that prove less is more

Festo has created the Simplified Motion Series of electric drives for jobs requiring very simple motion or positioning, with the added bonus of being exceedingly easy to commission. These all-in-one units are alternatives for users looking for pneumatics-like simplicity – with all the necessary components and modules, including the motor and controller incorporated into the one unit, with no external controller, control cabling, or control cabinet.

 

 

 

VFS Series Vortex Flow Sensors from AutomationDirect

VFS Series Vortex Flow Sensors from AutomationDirect

ProSense VFS series vortex flow sensors offer a very cost-effective solution optimized for monitoring water and deionized water flow in industrial applications. Vortex flow sensors are a reliable alternative to other flow sensing technologies and are a simple, low cost, and proven method for measuring flow of water-based liquids that is independent of the liquid’s pressure or temperature fluctuations.

 

 

 

Phoenix Contact: Powerful DC/DC converters

Phoenix Contact: Powerful DC/DC converters

The new QUINT DC/DC converters have a dynamic power reserve. For starting heavy loads, the dynamic boost offers you twice the output power for 5 s. The SFB Technology (Selective Fuse Breaking Technology) delivers 6x the nominal current for 15 ms, which is enough power to reliably and economically protect your DC circuits. Standard miniature circuit breakers are selectively tripped while consumers connected in parallel continue working. The static boost with up to 125% continuous power makes it easy to expand the system.
