The positioning systems PSD 48x / 49x are now also available with Industrial Ethernet bus interfaces as standard. In addition to CANopen and IO-Link, the bus systems EtherCAT, PROFINET and EtherNet/IP are also offered.
Fraunhofer researchers have now found a way to harvest enough energy to operate these sensors using vibrations from machines, equipment or buildings, as well as from temperature differences between pipes, lines or valves, and the environment.
As of now, the industrial rackmount systems in 1U, 2U and 4U formats will be equipped with motherboards developed and manufactured in Germany based on the latest 12th Gen Intel® CoreTM processors, boasting higher performance, increased reliability and better energy efficiency.
The new b maXX 6000 servo controller generation stands for more performance and maximum scalability. Yet the servo drive can do even more: The drive can be used as a sensor or sensor hub and offers scalable IoT connectivity in the cloud, e.g. via an edge PC.
At SPS - Smart Production Solutions from 8. to 10. November in Nuremberg, the Pepperl+Fuchs brand ECOM Instruments will be demonstrating a multi-faceted ecosystem as the link between mobile workers and the hazardous areas of a smart factory in hall 7A at booth 411. Smartphones, tablets and smart glasses provide mobile workers with almost unlimited flexibility in every application scenario.
Manufacturers across Europe are experiencing the economic pain of rising energy bills, which creates a dilemma: absorb the cost or pass it on to valued customers. Neither is particularly easy. As a result, now is the ideal moment for companies to reduce their running costs with correctly aligned machines and energy-efficient bearing solutions from NSK.
Delta, a world-class provider of power management and industrial automation solutions, is exhibiting a wide range of smart, energy-efficient and highly integrated industrial automation hardware and software solutions engineered for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications at SPS Nuremberg 2022.
To prevent plant downtimes or failures in areas where an explosive mixture of air with flammable substances can arise, technicians must react flexibly and safely to all requirements in production.
With the new function, the energy consumption of each individual axis can be determined per cycle. The energy measurement is performed autonomously and in real time in the Baumüller b maXX servo converters used.
