Phoenix Contact is introducing a trio of industrial media converter families, each engineering to excel in specific environments and challenges. Designed for performance, durability, and flexibility, these devices cater to the range of industrial needs, from cost-effective solutions to wide-temperature and high-EMC environments.

Nabtesco cycloidal gears feature utmost precision, dynamics and dependability, to assure reliable pin-point positioning even in the most demanding applications. Ideal for positioning tasks with high torques and heavy loads.

Today, industrial automation is no longer imaginable without robots. The VISOR Robotic vision sensor from Sensopart acts as the ‘eye’ of the robot and is used worldwide in image-guided robotics applications. The most recent development provides problem-free connection between the vision sensor and a Yaskawa robot.

Moog has announced a new Energy Management System (EMS) for machines with electrohydrostatic actuation systems.

With Eplan’s eLearning courses, the sky’s the limit for users, and a brand-new addition is the Eplan Update Training 2024, which makes it easier for users to get started and presents new functions such as mathematical calculations for block properties.

Emerson has introduced the new ASCO Series 327C solenoid valve, which features a direct-acting, high-flow design that it says provides superior flow-to-power ratio compared to similar valves.

At SPS, the CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA) announced new products and services for the development of safety devices with CC-Link IE TSN connectivity. This addition to the existing offering will help drive the implementation of highly effective, convergent industrial automation applications for functional safety.

Precision sensor manufacturer Micro-Epsilon has extended its scanCONTROL LLT30xx range of 2D/3D laser line profile sensors (profile scanners) with two larger measuring fields now available. The scanCONTROL LLT30xx-430 and scanCONTROL LLT30xx-600 provide measuring fields of up to 560 x 390 mm and 788 x 610 mm respectively.

Modern manufacturing requires handling solutions capable of managing product diversity, shorter product life cycles and growing levels of product customisation. The HEPP electric gripper from Festo addresses this need for greater flexibility in the gripping of multiple workpieces with adaptable stroke lengths and gripping forces.

Determining a safe absolute position usually requires using highly complex technology. Pepperl+Fuchs offers much simpler solutions for this process, which are based on a combination of the new PUS evaluation unit with the safePXV or WCS sensors.
