CONEC ISOBUS overmoulded – The robust interface for modern agricultural technology

Whether overmoulded as a plug or socket version, CONEC ISOBUS connectors are characterised by their high resistance to extreme environmental conditions such as moisture, dirt, dust and vibrations. The robust design and overmoulding guarantee a long service life and reliable signal and power transmission.

To adapt better to rapidly changing markets, industrial production must become more adaptable and autonomous. Siemens is developing software-defined automation, which replaces hardware-based automation devices with software-defined functions. At last year's Hannover Messe, Siemens already presented solutions in this field. At Hannover Messe 2025, Siemens will showcase further innovations in Hall 9, Booth D53.

Autonomous picking robots that allow individual objects to be precisely accessed are one example. A drive unit consisting of a brushless DC-servomotor from the FAULHABER BX4 series with integrated motion controller and planetary gearhead ensures precise positioning when storing and retrieving items, and all this in continuous operation with constantly changing loads.

Spectra LV-6716H7: Embedded board for compact image processing solutions

“We need a compact solution to capture and process image data on the machine.” Image processors, AI users and IPC manufacturers know these or similar requirements well enough. And the solution usually starts with the selection of the right computer platform.

Cincoze's DC-3100 and GM-1100 series enable new options for edge AI applications

Rugged embedded computer brand – Cincoze has launched two new series of GPU embedded computers that overcome harsh environmental challenges, meet various application requirements, and provide comprehensive computing solutions for the booming Edge AI market.

AMD makes its way into single-board products from ICP Deutschland. The company has expanded its portfolio with two powerful AMD solutions. The IMB-V3000 is a Micro ATX mainboard that is equipped with a built-in AMD Ryzen Embedded V3000 processor. The IMBAX-SP6 is an industrial ATX mainboard that was developed specifically for server applications. Both single-board computers can be used, for example, in industrial automation, vision applications, medical imaging and traffic monitoring.

RECOM has offered DIN-Rail DC/DC converters for many years, but the company is now launching the REDIIN series of DIN-rail AC/DC power supplies at 90 V to 264 V input ranges and 120 W, 240 W, and 480 W power ratings.

FLYC-300: Low SWaP NVIDIA® Jetson Embedded System

With the FLYC-300, ICP Germany offers a particularly light and compact embedded system for use in mobile applications.

Whether control IPC for machines and systems with displays from 21-inch to 98-inch, operating terminals with panel PCs or industrial systems based on Raspberry Pi 3 / 4 – MASS GmbH is a reliable partner for individual industrial computers. Our range of services extends from the design, development and production of series devices to the delivery of turnkey solutions – even in small quantities and, if desired, with preconfigured software.

In order to save time and thus costs, ease of maintenance and speed of installation are playing an increasingly important role in industrial cabling. Overmoulded CONEC connectors with snap termination can be quickly and easily plugged onto sockets, sensors and actuators without any further work steps or tools.

KUKA robots disassemble battery systems

The business of electric cars is booming – but what happens to the tons of used batteries? Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation has successfully tested how industrial battery disassembly works using the KR QUANTEC robot. The goal: make the use of electric cars even more sustainable.

FAULHABER offers drive solutions for nearly every requirement

A motion controller with even more possibilities: With the new MC 3602 B and MC 3606 B motion controllers, the selection and commissioning of drive systems is now even simpler. With the compact MC 3602/06 B, DC motors, brushless DC motors, and linear motors can be operated with the typical position encoders as servo drive in accordance with CiA 402. Also new is the support of stepper motors with encoder as servo or without encoder in open-loop operation. The products ‚speak‘ EtherCAT, CANopen, RS232, and USB.

The embedded system MB2-10ANS from ICP in Germany is equipped with the new Alder Lake N generation of processors from Intel®. As with its predecessor, the MB1, two variants with energy-efficient processors are available.

DMB Technics AG stands for customised display solutions that are perfectly tailored to the needs of its customers. The company not only focuses on individual displays, but also on holistic and customised HMI solutions (HMI = Human Machine Interface) that optimally combine technology and design.

Application: Secondary load is protected by a fuse switch or fuse

RECOM's RACPRO1 series includes high-performance three-phase DIN rail power supplies with outputs of 240, 480 and 960 watts in widths of 43, 52 and 80 millimeters. This technical article describes how to compensate for voltage drops, improve overcurrent protection and prevent damage. You will learn which measures are used to ensure that DC fuses and circuit breakers with the RACPRO1 series trigger safely.

Cincoze DC-1300 series: Power for space-limited industrial automation applications

Rugged embedded computer brand – Cincoze has launched the latest addition to the Rugged Computing – DIAMOND product line, the Entry Performance and Compact industrial computer DC-1300 series. It packs maximum performance and expansion flexibility in a compact 185 x 131 x 56.5 mm chassis.

The new SITOP PSU8400 three-phase power supplies from Siemens and the SITOP SEL1600 selectivity modules can be conveniently parameterised and diagnosed via integrated displays or IO-Link.

If shaft motors are used vertically, a counterweight is required to compensate the effect of gravity. Without a counterweight, the motor shaft would fall when de-energised. In conventional designs, the spring counterweight is a critical component as the spring ages over time and requires special attention in terms of maintenance. An innovative, maintenance-free counterweight called gLESS utilises magnetic force and enables uniform movement.
