Sony Europe’s Image Sensing Solutions Division has announced that the Sony Vision Network, a partnership programme intended to deliver proven combinations of Sony hardware and third-party software backed with expert consultancy, advice and supply chain support, has added four new members: MVD Ltd, Silicon Systems, Shafi and Compar AG. They bring distribution and support, data storage, manufacturing software and system integration expertise to ...

Sony Europe’s Image Sensing Solutions Division has announced two additions to its XCL-5000 family of high-resolution industry-standard Camera Link equipped camera modules, the XCL-5005 and XCL-5005CR. The XCL-5005CR adds 5Mpixel colour capability to the product family. Designed for machine vision applications, they now feature selectable Power on Camera Link (PoCL) capability. PoCL provides power to the camera over the Camera Link interface cab...

IAR Systems today announced it will extend its range of Renesas Electronics microcontroller (MCU) support to include its latest low power RL78 family of MCUs. Already providing an extensive tool chain for all Renesas Electronics MCU devices, the new RL78 MCUs will use the same integrated development environment (IDE), IAR Embedded Workbench. Using the same environment makes it easier for a developer to switch between Renesas Electronics' MCU targ...

The new, patented FMCU (Freedom of Movement Control Unit) from Ultra Electronics Measurement Systems (MSI) and available in the UK from Aerco, is designed to suit a generation of military personnel that cut its teeth on joysticks and game controls. As experts in intuitive controls, MSI is the first manufacturer to design a fully ruggedised ‘game-style’ controller for military applications.

Aerco is now supplying into the UK a range of single and two-pole, high-performance, thermal-magnetic circuit breakers from E-T-A. All breakers in the new E-T-A 3120-F7 series are supplied with rocker switch actuation and provide single-pole with thermal-magnetic protection, double-pole switching with thermal-magnetic protection on one pole and thermal protection on the other and double-pole switching with thermal-magnetic protection on one pole ...

Now available in the UK from Aerco is the range of Model 501C Hall-effect Joysticks from US company Ultra Electronics Measurement Systems (Ultra MSI). Ultra MSI’s unique adaptation of Hall-effect technology for multi-axis joystick sensing was first patented and introduced by Ultra MSI in 1998 (U.S. Patent No. 5850142) and offers many benefits over traditional potentiometer and inductive joystick designs.

Available in the UK from Aerco is what the company says is the world’s first precision, two-axis, non-contacting mini displacement joystick. The Ultra MSI Model 5000C offers more tactility than a mini-force joystick, converting operator input to analogue output voltages proportional to angle of the joystick. A highly ergonomic knob provides tactile feedback to the operator even when used with gloves.

STMicroelectronics today announced an industry first with the unveiling of a customizable high-end motor-control module that is small enough to mount directly on the motor, in addition to providing connection via industrial Ethernet. The new module will enable faster delivery of elegant cost-effective industrial solutions such as multi-axis robotics, conveyors, packaging machines, and process automation equipment.

National Instruments recognised more than 20 innovative applications developed by engineers and scientists from around the world at the inaugural Graphical System Design Achievement Awards earlier this month. At the award ceremony held during the NIWeek graphical system design conference and exhibition in Austin, Texas, winners from 10 categories were recognised for developing applications that meet complex engineering and science challenges usi...

National Instruments today announced LabVIEW 8.6, the latest version of the graphical system design software platform for control, test and embedded system development. Building on the inherent parallel nature of graphical programming, LabVIEW 8.6 delivers new tools to help engineers and scientists take advantage of the benefits of multicore processors, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and wireless communication.
