ABB Robotics is expanding its industrial SCARA robot portfolio with the addition of the IRB 930. The new robot, compromising three variants capable of handling 12 kg and 22 kg payloads, has been designed to meet the demands of new growth opportunities in traditional and new markets. Engineered for fast point-to-point tasks that demand high payloads and large work areas, the IRB 930 has three variants capable of providing the highest payload of any SCARA robot in its class. In addition, the 22kg variant delivers a 10% increase in throughput by handling more and heavier workpieces at once.

ABB has recently launched an enhanced version of its NINVA TSP341-N non-invasive temperature sensor, delivering safer and simpler temperature measurements for applications in the chemical, oil and gas industries. The new NINVA is the first SIL2-certified non-invasive temperature transmitter, making it the safest non-invasive temperature measurement sensor on the market. With proven performance over the last few years, ABB’s non-invasive approach dramatically simplifies temperature measurement by providing an alternative to a traditional invasive thermowell.

To help address the challenges of more power in less space, ABB Power Conversion has expanded its MPR-series rectifier family with two new 850-watt MPR0812 power supplies. The MPR0812TEX12Z01A is designed for forward air flow for cooling and the MPR0812TER12Z02A utilizes reverse air flow. The compact, 1.57” high by 9” long by 2.5” wide rectifiers meet Class B radiated and conducted emissions requirements. This combination makes them well suited for a broad range of applications including computing and networking applications and communication systems, where space is often limited.
