WITH the launch of its G2 Flat family of photoelectric sensors, SICK has shrunk outstanding performance into a miniature format. The ultra-thin sensors are designed to integrate snugly into small machinery and conveyors, or for tight fits in robotic arms and grippers.

CWM Automation’s latest innovation is designed for pot filling and sealing, providing higher speeds and up to 30% more control than a traditional inline machine. CWM Automation’s goal is to exceed customer’s expectations in quality, delivery and performance.

SEEPEX’s new, innovative Drive Joint Access (DJA) technology reduces maintenance time for its open hopper pumps by up to 75%, and costs by up to 90%. This smart maintenance concept –an industry first –has already been installed at Thames Water, Anglian Water, United Utilities and a wastewater treatment site in Ireland.

Virtual commissioning is a valuable technology commonly used on large projects, typical of those found within the major automotive manufacturers, where systems containing hundreds of robots, PLC’s and complex devices are tested, validated and commissioned in a virtual environment.

Axium Process has developed its range of hygienic stainless steel filters ensuring ease of use, simple maintenance, dependability and outstanding quality is at the forefront of its design.

2019 has been an exciting year for AutoCoding Systems with the launch of their new automatic print inspection solution, 4Sight, developed in conjunction with global partners, SICK.

TF Automation design, engineer and manufacture process automation solutions, supporting a wide range of manufacturing industries from, aerospace and automotive through to medical, food, printing and packaging.

In a fast changing world in which an increasing number of things are connected with one another, industrial automation is also undergoing a fundamental transformation. Classic system structures are developing into cyber-physical systems.

Made of natural nylon, this new range is available from M4 to M8, lengths 6 to 60 mm depending on the diameter. These screws are used when a wider bearing surface or smoother, more finished appearance is desired, or in material too thin to accommodate a countersunk head

Working in potentially explosive atmospheres is hazardous enough without concerns that the voltage being supplied to temporary lighting is no longer within certified limits. How can anyone be absolutely sure what voltage is being supplied, especially in a typical, long cable FPSO situation?

The Cube system from Murrelektronik is a modular field bus system for on-machine installation concepts. It’s engineered flexibly to be the optimal solution for any application – meeting protection class IP20 through IP69K.

Customer care is at the core of everything we do – our mission is for our clients to achieve business success with innovative product design, made possible by flexible, open and collaborative relationships.

We realise that taking meter readings in the winter can be a ‘less desirable’ job to say the least. But… we do have a solution! So, if you would like to read up to 256 meters from your phone or PC carry on reading… remote reading!

Advanced technology and sensitive applications requirements increase the need for EMI reduction A look back at Magnetic Shields news and significant activities for this past year include university and lab projects, ISO certification, custom parts and fabricated shields, and expanded shielding product line sizes offered to mitigate low frequency field disturbances.

Our wealth of experience gained over this time, coupled with the excellent working relationships we foster with our customers, ensures we create compliant products that set us apart from our competitors.

CAE provider EPLAN has been at the forefront of engineering design technology for many years. Much of the company’s sustained pre-eminence is a result of listening to its customers and potential customers, to gain an understanding of their pain points and requirements.

All in One, Easy to Integrate Current Sensor for Inverters and Motor Control, Industrial Robots and Manufacturing Systems, Telecom and Server Farm Power Supplies, Automotive EV Charging Stations, IoT Appliance, Home Automation and many other tech applications

Based on transmission standards (IEEE 802.3), single-pair Ethernet (also called SPE or 1000Base-T1) is integrated into new generations of automobiles. 1000Base-T1 is designed to operate over a single twisted-pair copper cable supporting an effective datarate of 1 Gbit/sec in each direction simultaneously. LEMO provides two types of insulators 0B.511(2 contacts) and 1B.512 (4 contacts + screen) compatible with Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) and Shielded Twisted Pairs (STP).

Today’s increasing quality standards and higher energy costs demand more accurate and consistent control of power and resources. Steel processes such as coke oven heating, continuous casting, furnace reheating, hot rolling, forging, sintering and annealing are becoming more and more expensive.

Founded in 1916, Dixon is a premier manufacture and supplier of hose couplings, made to order hose assemblies, valves, manifolds, dry-disconnects, flame arresters, vents, bespoke fittings and other fluid transfer and control products.

For drive couplings to be fully effective, it is essential that not only is the correct type of coupling specified for
the application, but that the coupling is also correctly installed and aligned.

Explosion safety covers a broad range of applications. Following our first part, this article gives you an idea of important explosion safety precautions. Depending on the results of the hazard and risk analysis, a number of proven precautions need to be taken.

With professional labels and label printers, you can easily and quickly meet any customer identification requirements and provide immediate insight in the most complex panels.
