SICK has enabled its smallest safety laser scanner, the nanoScan3, with its Safe EFI-Pro standard industrial Ethernet-based safe networking capability. Using the SICK nanoScan3 EFI-Pro, machine builders can more easily design responsive and productive autonomous vehicles and stationary robots through safe integration over industrial networks.

When selecting an in-process system for measuring the thickness of film, plate or sheet materials, a number of challenges need to be considered, including sensor alignment, linearity and the effects of thermal changes, says Glenn Wedgbrow, business development manager at Micro-Epsilon UK.

With worldwide network of sales, service and support Mechan Controls is a leader in the market for interlocks and machine guard safety. Mechan Controls develops intuitive machine guard safety products, and strives to stay ahead of the curve to bring ground-breaking solutions to the safety market.

For industrial applications making use of piezoelectric sensors, Kislter’s multi-purpose ICAM-B charge amplifier provides a combination of proven analogue signal routing and integrated digital data transmission, making it an extremely flexible solution.

New from SICK is the compact OD7000 precision sensor, providing a cost-effective solution for ultra-high precision measure in the micron range. Compact enough to be integrated into the tightest machine spaces, the OD7000 comprises a separate controller and sensor head.

Machine builders can now benefit from faster and more flexible communications between inverters in multi-drive applications, with CAN cross-communication now available in the COMBIVERT F6 and S6 drive controllers from KEB Automation.

Emerson has introduced the new PACSystems IPC 2010 compact industrial PC (IPC), a rugged industrial computer designed to handle a wide range of machine and discrete part manufacturing automation applications.

Nabtesco is familiar with the exact requirements to produced drive systems to match the exact requirements of every industry, with its cycloidal precision gears contributing significantly to reducing costs and boosting performance.

ROCOL has announced it will be removing per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from the formulations of its entire FOODLUBE product range. From April 2024, 100 per cent of the FOODLUBE products will be PFAS-free.

SICK has unveiled a compressed air monitoring system that accurately predicts where significant energy cost-savings can be made by fixing air leaks and removing wastage across entire production and logistics facilities.
