On the device side, the corresponding print sockets axial and angled are added in B-, and X-coding.

CMTH continuously records humidity and temperature in production and storage areas and outputs the values via IO-Link or as a switching signal. Turck's CMTH combined humidity and temperature sensor is now available in a compact variant with improved IIoT integration for smart condition monitoring applications. With a length of only 57 mm and an operating temperature range from -40 to +100 °C, the IP67 sensor in an M12 housing can even be used in challenging environments.

Spectra with new 19-inch industrial workstation for high-end applications. Modern work processes in industry and research such as 3D design, computer simulation or image processing require a lot of graphics and computing power. The question of energy efficiency is becoming increasingly important, not only because of heat generation, but also because of energy consumption, especially in today's world.

The CUS250 power supply series offers the right solution for every cooling concept. TDK-Lambda’s new CUS250 series AC-DC power supplies provide 250 W of output power despite a small footprint of 50.8 x 101.6 mm (2 x 4 inch) and are certified to both IEC 60601- 1 and IEC 62368-1 for Class I and Class II (double insulated) installations. Different unit versions and cooling concepts allow flexible integration into target applications from the industrial, laboratory and medical sectors. In this...

One connector instead of two or three, shorter assembly times, no cable tangle, less weight on the end device (for example motor) – these are the convincing arguments for the CONEC Hybrid connector series.

System integrator, value-added distributor and manufacturer BRESSNER Technology will exhibit its industrial hardware portfolio for the first time at bauma 2022 in Munich, Germany.

Yamaichi Electronics offers many different high-speed connectors. Among these are also high-speed versions in the Y-Circ P product group of metallic push-pull circular connectors.

The Zivid Two L100 industrial 3D camera enables more productive bin picking with deeper reach, enabling extended grippers to empty larger, deeper bins.

The new embedded system uIBX-CZ4350 from ICP Germany is high-performance, energy-saving and low-maintenance. The Intel ® Core™ i5-10210U processor ensures high performance. The processor unit has four native processor cores and eight execution threads, operates with a base clock of 1.6 GHz, which is clocked up to 4.2 GHz if required.

Programming of a laser stripper during operation by operators without software know-how. MBDA, a leading European aerospace manufacturer, wanted to robotise certain processes in small series or even single unit production, by allowing an operator with no programming skills to teach the robotic system, in just a few seconds, the process to be carried out, and then to execute the cycle with complete confidence without human supervision. Fuzzy Logic's Repplix™ application software module addresses...

From standard components to individual solutions: Schaeffler with complete robotics portfolio. Within just a few years, the automotive and industrial supplier Schaeffler has built up one of the most extensive portfolios for industrial robotics. These include a PCB motor series for lightweight robots and cobots, two precision strain wave gear series, a torque sensor system which is fully integrated into the strain wave gears, and, of course, bearing solutions for swivel joints and gearboxes.

TM Robotics presents powerful SCARA series with a future-proof controller. TM Robotics, Shibaura Machine's (Japan) sales and service partner for Europe, carries a comprehensive range of the latest industrial robots, including the THE400, THE600, THL300 and SCARA model THP550.

Digital platforms have sprung up like mushrooms in recent years. Every company involved with digitalization and Industry 4.0 has at least thought about the potential benefits of building its own digital platform – many have already entered the market. Numerous providers cover the sector; the technology has been perfected and proven.

Machine builders and integrators in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries can shorten time to market with multiprotocol Ethernet and MTP. In many industries, modularization and standardization are considered target-oriented strategies to reduce costs, production, delivery and development times. This particularly applies to the biotech and pharmaceutical sectors due to the time pressure arising from the process of approvals and patent protection. Components that automatically adapt to the...
