The MRTT aircraft is the world’s first tanker to be certified for automatic air-to-air refueling boom operations in daylight.

The Push-Pull version with inner locking of the M12 connector from Yamaichi Electronics is specified in the international standard IEC 61076-2-012. This makes design-ins for M12 Push-Pull systems possible without having to utilise proprietary solutions.

Numerous components are required for automation in industry. These can be high-end industrial PCs for demanding image processing tasks, embedded PCs for robot and machine control, panel PCs and monitors for visualizing process sequences, but also everything for setting up the industrial network. All components for industrial automation have one feature in common. They are optimally adapted to the harsh environmental conditions in this environment. Because you can't afford failures in industry....

In Product News 2023, CONEC provides an overview of new products from the product groups M12 connectors, sockets, insulation bodies, valve connectors AT06, filter connectors from the D-SUB world, hoods, and accessories. In addition to a variety of connectors for all current standards, CONEC's particular strengths is the integrated moulding of components and assemblies and the development of customized solutions.

CONEC has expanded its valve connector connector program with overmolded DT connectors in 90‑degree angled design with single as well as double cable outlet. Four different directions of the 90‑degree cable outlet are offered.

The Internet of Things (IoT) also requires remote access devices, similar to M2M (machine-to-machine) communication. However, IoT also includes to collect and process data from sensors and actuators locally and later sent them via a gateway to a control centre or the cloud. Here, Panasonic Industry has a versatile product in the form of the FP-I4C, which provides various solutions for these requirements.

Fans with EC motors have a number of positive characteristics. Firstly, they have a very high efficiency and maintain this efficiency even at partial speeds. This means that in most cases they consume less than a third to a half of the electricity used by the traditional shaded-pole induction motors used in the ventilation and refrigeration industry, which in turn leads to lower operating costs and short payback times.

The GM1 combines features of motion functions with the functionality of a PLC, such as positioning, network modules, I/O modules, and high-frequency counters, among others, in a compact controller. As these modules are integrated into the GM1 motion controller, the compact "all-in-one" solution reduces the space required in the control cabinet and enables response times of only 0.5 ms.

Piezoelectric motors belong to the group of small motors and use the piezoelectric effect to generate motion. They can operate linearly and rotationally. The principle of a piezoelectric motor is based on a movement of the moving part of the motor (rotor) through a change in the frictional force. This occurs when a voltage is applied to the piezoelectric material. The combination of two out-of-phase voltages induces an elliptical motion whose tangential force component drives the rotor.

Essentially, there are five characteristics that drive the Gamechange towards the lab of tomorrow: digital transformation, human and cultural aspects, process development and automation, data management, lab environment and design. In order to optimise the increasing number of test samples and the speed of evaluation, a connected solution is needed to ensure sample recognition, transport, and error-free analysis.

Nippon Pulse permanent magnet (PM) stepper motors (PF series Tin-Can stepper motors) are firmly established in mechanical engineering and offer many advantages over other types of stepper motors. They have an excellent price-performance ratio and are suitable as a low-inertia, low-resolution, low-cost alternative to hybrid stepper motors in many applications.

The AC-DC power supply units of the CUS250 series from TDK-Lambda will be available with different output voltages. Initially, models with 12 V and 24 V will be on the market, followed later by other voltages with 15 V, 18 V, 28 V, 36 V and 48 V. The output voltage can be adjusted by the user.

KSS has released the CAS series (distributed by Dy‍netics) with high-performance mini actuators for precise strokes on a small scale and for use in single and multi-axis assemblies. The linear actuators have a long service life. The compact and powerful lightweights are 15 by 23.5 millimetres small and available in lengths of 107 and 127 millimetres.
