maxon's MicroMACS6 multi-axis motion controller is now available in a PCB module format for integration with custom-designed motherboards. The new MicroMACS6 Module is an ultra-compact, six-axis motion controller designed for integration into robots and machines.

Phoenix Contact is extending its portfolio with the new universal AC enclosure lights with integrated socket. The lights in the PLD E 708 product family cover a wide range of applications in almost all control cabinets worldwide. This is due to the wide AC input voltage range of 100 V AC to 240 V AC.

Lenze strengthens cybersecurity for OEMs, ensuring compliance with the Cyber Resilience Act through comprehensive solutions and expert guidance.

What really grinds manufacturers' gears? Costly downtime and worn-out machinery. Maglev technology takes friction out of the equation, reducing the need for both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance activity. Here, Mark Richards, UK sales manager at Beckhoff Automation UK, explains the long- and short-term benefits of maglev technology for maintenance engineering.

As part of its commitment to continuous improvement, WAGO has launched two new products, designed to provide users with more choice and greater efficiency, without ever compromising on quality.

ifm introduces the UGT3 - a full-metal ultrasonic sensor designed to excel in the most demanding industrial environments. Combining exceptional durability with advanced ultrasonic technology, the UGT3 combines precision, reliability and toughness in extreme conditions.

Three aspects of sensor technology are particularly important in image processing for industrial automation: performance, flexibility and usability. Simple Vision sensors meet these requirements. They are as easy to operate as optical sensors, plus they are as powerful as camera systems. Leuze offers this concept as a quick and straightforward introduction to vision technology.

The Dplus designation means that a HEIDENHAIN encoder provides multi-dimensional motion feedback. This added functionality unlocks new potential in a variety of applications, including high-accuracy robots, safe cobots, continuous brake monitoring in elevators and finer structures in hybrid bonding and other electronics and semiconductor manufacturing applications.

High Dynamic Performance (HDP) induction motors have a well-established reputation for turning fierce force into relentless rotation. Through ABB's commitment to continuous innovation, the portfolio has now evolved to include two new options: synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) technology for enhanced energy efficiency and permanent magnet (PM) technology for optimised power density. Dr. Ghanshyam Shrestha, R&D Technology Manager at ABB IEC Low Voltage Motors, explains the background.
