HEIDENHAIN is has developed MULTI-DOF encoders allowing measurement in more than one degree of freedom, enabling higher accuracy and greater dynamic performance – key requirements for improving production processes.

Plug and play connectorisation makes flexible manufacturing possible as machines can be disconnected and reconnected quickly, without the need for skilled labour and with no risk of miswiring. The experts at HARTING explain.

Ethernet is being deployed across more and more areas of industry and is the connecting element for both IT and OT (Operational Technology). HARTING is constantly developing and refining its Industrial Ethernet connectivity range so customers can implement robust and reliable networks for industrial use.

Following the very successful launch of the two power entry modules DG11 and DG12 with increased IP protection, SCHURTER now also offers both models in variants for protection class II applications and in white as well as black.

The IPD installation system from Phoenix Contact is completely pluggable and enables the connection of 3- and 5-position cables. Push-Lock as a tool-free connection technology enables the time-saving installation of flexible and rigid conductors from 0.5 to 2.5 mm².

The MC 15 range of high performance absolute linear encoders from RSF Elektronik, a HEIDENHAIN brand, has been designed to address the increasing requirements in today’s motion control applications for high precision exposed linear encoder systems.

The box PCs from Phoenix Contact are suitable for a wide range of automation tasks – from simple data acquisition to complex IoT and edge applications. With the VL3 UPC series, particularly compact devices are now available for demanding edge computing installations in distributed control cabinets.

Many companies have neither the necessary personnel nor the corresponding vertical integration to develop mechanics and control systems in parallel. As a result, the supplier’s expertise is becoming increasingly important. And this is where Aerotech’s real work begins.

Kawasaki Robotics demonstrated its capabilities in the Industrial Robot Zone at iREX 2023, showcasing products and solutions not just for the traditional industrial sectors, but also in the medical and healthcare sector, as well as in the social fields with a view to social implementation.

WDS Components has extended its range of castor wheels. The broad wheel range covers a variety of designs, materials and sizes, for an array of industrial and commercial applications. With sizes now including a compact 50mm diameter, through to a 200mm wheel, castors also include brake and adjustable levelling options.
