With the launch of its Safe EFI-pro System, SICK has delivered standard industrial Ethernet-based safety network integration for highly-adaptive and dynamic safeguarding in automated production and logistics environments to SIL 3/PLe.The SICK Safe EFI-pro System is a single-source solution that provides the foundation for simpler, more productive and responsive machinery safety, particularly valuable for dynamic applications like autonomous vehic...

The automotive industry request sensor prototypes to test new algorithms and application possibilities in the early stage of their design. For this reason, Infineon developed a new methodology, allowing a smooth transition from idea to implementation. By Simone Fontanesi, Gaetono Formato, Andrea Monterastelli, Infineon Technologies

The industrial technology company and provider of sensors, Sensata Technologies, has introduced the availability of MHM5 and MHK5 Absolute Multi-Turn encoders with either Ethernet/IP or ProfiNet interfaces for Factory 4.0 applications. To provide additional design flexibility, these encoders are available in either shafted (MHM5) or blind shaft (MHK5) configurations.

Motion control applications typically require one or more position encoders. Several types are available and the engineer must first decide whether an incremental, absolute, or commutation encoder is most appropriate. After this decision has been made, other selection criteria include resolution and mechanical aspects, such as the mounting pattern and motor shaft size.

Following the successful TMCM-1110 StepRocker and TMCM-1111 StepRocker Servo, TRINAMIC Motion Control has announced its new StepRocker boards with StealthChop. Just like the first members of the StepRocker family, theTMCM-1211andTMCM-1316are open-source single-axis motor controller/driver modules for 2-phase bipolar stepper motors.

It has been announced by CUI Devices that its AMT21 series of absolute modular encoders has added models with multi-turn output capability. Offering 12 bits or 14 bits of absolute position information, the multi-turn AMT21 series implements a 14-bit signed number turns counter for applications rotating beyond 360 degrees.

HMI specialist EAO has introduced second generation Joysticks and Man-Machine-Interface (MMI) Controllers that combine outstanding technical characteristics with easy tool-less installation. Developed by Grayhill the 3J CAN-based devices feature enhanced shock resistance and long mechanical life and are built to withstand rugged conditions typically found in agriculture, construction, and mining machinery.

SICK has pushed forward the boundaries of 3D vision inspection in a wide range of industrial applications with the launch of the SICK Ranger3 camera, thanks to a breakthrough CMOS sensor that powers unprecedented high speed image processing in a compact device.SICK’s Ranger3 high definition streaming camera is the first to be powered by SICK’s innovative Imager with ROCC (Rapid On-Chip Calculation technology).

A high precision, low profile, compact motorised rotary stage, the AY110-100-SC, is now being offered by Optimal Engineering Systems (OES). This precision stage is 45mm high and the foot print is only 121 by 170mm. The stage has a pattern of threaded mounting holes in the rotary table and holes in the base for easy integration into new and existing applications.

Offering an ultra-small power source to drive high-voltage industrial and consumer applications, the MAXM17552 compact step-down DC-DC power module from Maxim Integrated is available at Mouser Electronics. The micro system-level IC (uSLIC) module provides a wide input voltage range for factory automation, medical, and communications devices.
