Space saving illuminated tact switch with RGB-LED and IP67
Knitter-switch has extended its product range of illuminated tact switches. The TSLE/TSSLE 6868 series are illuminated tact switches with a lot of high-quality features in a space saving design. Because of this a lot of different applications like multimedia equipment, computer accessories, measurement instrumentation, industrial automation or medical technology are possible.
Choosing the right rotary encoder for ruggedness and performance
The motion control systems of equipment such as industrial automation or robotics are often reliant on rotary encoders to provide data on position, speed, direction and distance. These typically feature a disc, which is attached to the shaft of the motor whose movements need to be tracked. By Jeff Smoot, CUI Devices
Cost reduction through efficient energy-saving motors
At SPS 2019 in Nuremberg, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS presented a new synchronous motor with a significant higher energy efficiency (IE5+). This new motor can be supplied without a fan and with very smooth surfaces. It can be combined with the nsd tupH surface treatment. It is therefore optimally suited for use in intralogistics and wash-down applications.The new IE5+ synchronous motors are suitable for intralogistics and wash-down applications as a system...
15-bit encoder chip debuts at SPS in Nuremberg
With the new iC-RZ Series encoder chips from iC-Haus, safety encoders can be made even simpler and more compact. This is made possible by the innovative single-chip design as an optical twin encoder with a redundant safety channel.
Academy students provided with latest robotic technology
Harwin continues to show its credentials in respect to the further promotion of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) to younger generations. In order to ensure that students attending Havant & South Downs College (HSDC) have access to the hardware necessary to support their ongoing education, it is donating a robot arm - a package worth more than £30,000.
An introduction to configurable logic blocks
Does your industrial control system include customised logic? Do you have an FPGA, CPLD, or external logic components supplementing your embedded controller and wonder ‘why can’t this all be done in one device?’ Are you using this additional logic because your MCU peripherals don’t give you all the capability you need?
Industrial grade position feedback for IoT
Available for Variohm EuroSensor’s UK and Ireland customers, is a new promotional price offer from Wachendorff which covers the German industrial encoder and precision automation component manufacturers’ wide range of Industrial Ethernet (IE) based absolute shaft encoders.
High-performance encoders for wind turbines at SPS
Nidec Industrial Solutions presented its new Avtron Encoder designed specifically for tomorrow’s wind farms at the SPS trade fair in Nuremberg, an event for the automation and digital industry and which is taking place this 26th to 28th November. With the launch of this innovative solution, Nidec Industrial Solutions confirms its global leadership in the growth of the renewable energy sector.
Conquering new frontiers with world’s smallest safety laser scanner
SICK has launched the world’s smallest safety laser scanner, the nanoScan3, designed for easy and economical integration into the smallest of machine designs, particularly for automated guided vehicles, carts, mobile platforms and service robots. The ultra-compact SICK nanoScan3 is just eight centimetres tall, so it can fit snugly into the spaces in machines where safety laser scanners could not previously have been located.
Innovative hollow shaft rotary actuators
JVL A/S, the integrated servo and stepper motor manufacturer, has announced its new HLMT series hollow shaft rotary actuators take a novel approach to decentralised precision positioning tasks on rotary tables and automated machines where a through aperture is required for routing services or maintaining a clear line of site.
