Now available with full application support from Mclennan in the UK, JVL's SMC66 is a separate stepper motor controller aimed at applications where size restraints, high ambient temperatures, harsh environmental conditions or vacuum operation may preclude the use of the globally leading motion control manufacturer's trademark integrated stepper motors.

Norstat now offers the O-TYPE Safety Switch from Mechan Controls. Unique codes combined with RFID technology that meets the requirements for type 4 applications.

Kollmorgen has expanded the voltage rating of its iron core direct drive linear (IC DDL) motor range to 480V. Extending beyond 230V, Kollmorgen's IC DDL motors can now be used in 400/480V systems, increasing integration potential across wider industrial applications.

According to Motec, the selection and design of drive systems has been significantly simplified with the development of a new online drive configurator, KeDrive, by Keba Industrial Automation. Motec is the authorised UK agents for Keba.

For demanding applications in specialised high-speed test benches, torsionally rigid, flexible couplings are the ideal choice. The thin-walled metal bellows used not only offer high flexibility but also reliably compensate for shaft misalignments and dampen vibrations. JAKOB's KSD couplings are characterised by their six-wave bellows, which allows for particularly high mobility.

ReeR Safety has expanded its innovative R-SAFE RFID safety sensors with the launch of new slim models designed for installations in narrow spaces. Available from PLUS Automation, the slim models cover the entire range of R-SAFE sensors (Basic, Pro and Plus) with the three actuation technologies (Generic, Teach-in and Unique).

Regal Rexnord Corporation has joined forces with automation leader ABB Robotics to simplify integration of its GoFa cobots into 7th Axis Cobot Transfer Units (CTUs) from Thomson, one of Regal Rexnord's linear motion brands.

Sensor expert SICK is showcasing its interactive Sensor Bench at Machine Building Live 2025. The company's booth will feature a hands-on demonstration of cutting-edge sensor technologies combined with SICK's latest high performance digital solutions, designed to enhance efficiency, cut costs, and improve machine safety.

The upcoming MachineBuilding.Live event in October, which also includes FoodManufacturing.Live, provides the ideal platform for sensor specialist Baumer to promote its ever-expanding range of industry leading sensors and encoders.

In the fast-paced world of food packaging, maintaining control over automated lines is paramount to success. Contrinex's versatile C23PA photoelectric sensors provide a wide array of vital tools in managing the complexities of high-volume packing operations and ensuring maximum uptime.
