New from Festo: smart optical inspection that’s extremely flexible yet simple enough for any user

Festo’s new SBRD smart camera system delivers exceptional flexibility for the professional user – covering a dozen fields of analysis, tracking and verification for automation and robotics. Yet it’s so simple to set up and operate that even novices can make full use of its extensive capabilities. The result is an extremely cost-effective solution for fast, reliable inspection that can perform a wide range of tasks where using a multi-camera approach is required.

 

 

 

A New Dimension In Decentralised Drive Technology

A New Dimension In Decentralised Drive Technology

At SPS 2019, Wieland Electric will present the prototype of a new motor starter that adds a new dimension to decentralized automation in terms of size, safety functions and handling. The podisMS 5HP not only presents itself as the smallest decentralized motor starter in its power range, but also as the first decentralized motor starter with IP65 protection and integrated STO (Safe Torque Off) safety function. The drive solution, which can be parameterized without software, is also characterized by simple handling during commissioning, operation and maintenance and features a sophisticated thermal design which, together with electronic low-wear switching, contributes to a long service life – even with frequent switching cycles.

HARTING: Han-Modular – New Shielded Module and an M12 solution

HARTING: Han-Modular – New Shielded Module and an M12 solution

With the new Han Shielded Power Module, users can for the first time make the connection of shielded power cables both modular and mateable. Also new to the Han-Modular portfolio is an M12 solution for mechanical engineering and transportation applications, as well as the Han DD double module. From the latter, space-saving interfaces can be created e.g. in robotics and automation that enable shorter assembly times.

HARTING: Future-proof connectivity for industry and IT

HARTING Technology Group will use this year’s SPS – Smart Production Solutions expo (November 26-28, 2019 in Nuremberg) to showcase a slew of innovative products and solutions for digital and smart automation. The trade fair appearance will be marked by close cooperation with software developer PerFact (Herford) and the founding of the network for Single Pair Ethernet (SPE). The SPE Network, an alliance of well-known technology leaders, intends to develop future-proof connectivity for industry and IT and to design an SPE Ecosystem.

 

 

 

HARTING: Han Rear-Fit – Quick installation of interfaces inside the switch cabinet

HARTING: Han Rear-Fit – Quick installation of interfaces inside the switch cabinet

In addition to solutions in the Han B and Han-Eco B standards, rear-mountable interfaces for trouble-free data transmission will also be available as of Q1 2020 — the Han B/EMC Rear-Fit. Simplified handling speeds up the processing of equipping control cabinets with interfaces and thus offers interesting options to manufacturers of robotics and automation technology.

 

 

 

HARTING: Han 1A – Versatile lightweight

HARTING: Han 1A – Versatile lightweight

The industrial sector is using ever smaller machines at the same time as the modularisation of plants and systems continues to progress. What is needed are compact, modular and robust connections for connecting small loads. HARTING is responding to this trend with the Han 1A. The rectangular connector has a whole host of advantages: the connector is suitable for the transmission of data, signals and power, and provides an ideal solution for e.g. control systems, smaller drives and switch cabinet installations.
