Built-in vibration analysis reduces the need for extra sensors and simplifies the mounting process
TodayThe ECI 1323 Splus and EQI 1335 Splus inductive rotary encoders from HEIDENHAIN with a built-in accelerometer and integrated vibration analysis are a particularly convenient solution for detecting and analysing vibrations arising from machine elements.
TPL Vision announces high power strobe bar light and 250mm angle changer
TodayTPL Vision introduces the next evolution in industrial illumination: the High Power Strobe Bar Light (HPS), the brightest and most powerful bar light ever developed by the company.
Critical considerations for improving robot productivity
TodayMounting a robot arm on a movable base, known as a 7th axis, adds flexibility, enhances collaboration and provides collision protection. A 7th axis is, however, a high-precision system, and maximising productivity from it requires close consideration of where and how you mount it, and application-specific factors such as the availability of collision detection systems and the number of linear guides used, as the experts at Thomson Industries explain.
New external illumination controller introduces scalable product family for machine vision applications
TodayTPL Vision introduces the TPL-CONTROL-1, a powerful new external illumination controller that expands the flexibility of machine vision lighting. More than just a controller, the TPL-CONTROL-1 forms the foundation of TPL Vision's new External Control (EC) product family, enabling a wide range of proven illumination products to benefit from advanced, configurable lighting control.
