Analog Devices (ADI) has announced it has added POWERLINK, a real-time industrial Ethernet protocol, to the RapID Platform Network Interface developed by the company’s Deterministic Ethernet Technology Group (formally Innovasic).

Being easy-to-use, ergonomic and integrated the new Joystick motion controllers from OES (Optimal Engineering Systems) are designed for steppers, DC motors and servo motor drivers in one, two, three, and four axis models.

Playing a big role in improving the throughput, quality and packing density of wire bonding machines as used by manufacturers of micro-electronic devices, is the tiny vacuum encoder, the MicroE Mercury II encoder by Celera Motion.Available in the UK from INMOCO, the encoder is one-third the size of other encoders, yet is easy to install and set up.

Introduced by HEIDENHAIN, new hollow-shaft encoders, extend the manufacturer’s range of products that use inductive position measurement and at the same time expand the application range of torque motors.Designated ECI 4000 and EBI 4000, the robust encoders have a hollow shaft dimension of 90mm, no integral bearing and offer high accuracy and repeatability.

Introducing theSE2L Safety Laser Scanner, IDEC Corporation has created the worlds smallest, and the world’s first with master/slave functionality and dual protection zones.A laser scanner is a safety device that uses the reflection of laser beams to detect the presence of objects or people. The scanner is certified for use in safety applications including AGVs, forklifts, robots and other items of moving equipment found in industrial facili...

Available exclusively in the UK from Variohm EuroSensor, Contelec A.G. has introduced the Vert-X 79 magnetic rotary encoder, which is designed for high accuracy angular measurement on construction machines and heavy-duty mobile vehicle applications where extreme conditions call for the highest levels of durability.

For the development and successful market introduction of the reflexive position sensor, EncoderBlue,iC-Haus was awarded the Innovation Award 2017 in Rhineland-Palatinate.The optical position sensor transmits the performance data of machine tools, robots, and power trains. While under pricing pressure, products were required with high resolution, in wide temperature ranges, small packages, and for high rotational velocities.

BeagleBone Blue from BeagleBoard.org, a complete robotics controller built around the BeagleBone open hardware single-board computer (SBC) is available at Mouser Electronics . The high-performance BeagleBone Blue combines flexible networking capabilities with a real-time-capable Linux system and easy-to-connect interfaces for building robots, machine control, or even unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs, or drones).

Through its UK distribution partnership with measurement technology leaders Novotechnik, Variohm EuroSensor supplies and supports linear and rotary sensors that feature the standardised communications protocol IO-Link.With real-time collection of machine data a fundamental part of Industry 4.0, the IEC 61131-9 communications standard provides fast and secure updates to and from the field level - not just for positional data but also for status an...

Microchip announces the immediate availability of their advanced motor-control software plug-in for the MPLAB X IDE with auto-tuning and self-commissioning capability.The plug-in, called motorBench Development Suite, is a GUI-based tool with automatic tuning of feedback control gains and offline accurate measurement of critical motor parameters such as resistance, inductances and the back EMF constant.
