The new DAB10 measuring amplifiers with IO-Link simplify commissioning and enable optimum parameterization of additional functions and signal conditioning for all strain gauge-based force sensors of any manufacturer. Thanks to parameterization via IO-Link, users can also profit from these benefits when using conventional analogue outputs. The measuring amplifier is available as an all-IO-Link variant or as a variant with voltage or current output with two additional digital I/Os. Force measurement has never been easier while being future-oriented in parallel.
Digi-Key Electronics, which offers the world’s largest selection of in-stock and ready-to-ship electronic and automation components, announced that it has secured a distribution partnership with Siemens. to offer their wide range of automation and control products.
In mid-September, wenglor sensoric released 19 new models of the C5PC series of 1D/2D code scanners, once again expanding its portfolio with more powerful and easy-to-operate code scanners. The simple installation via Plug & Play in particular, as well as the intuitive, browser-based WebLink user interface or the uniform interface concept across all scanners, open up a large number of new application solutions for users.
Since 2017, the frames of the Mercedes G-Class have been manufactured fully automatically at MAGNA Presstec thanks to a KUKA production line. Now the off-road icon is getting an electrified update and a new production line for the electric variant. Here, the Austrian automotive supplier is once again relying on KUKA's technology expertise.
Certain sectors and applications place particularly challenging demands on bearings. Steelmaking is one such example, where the aggressive operating environment means potential bearing failures present a genuine threat to production. Extreme temperatures, particle contamination, shock/heavy loads, water, vibration, high speeds and rapid acceleration/deceleration are just some of the daily hazards that steel plant bearings have to endure. However, the NSK RHP Self-Lube® range of bearing housings and inserts can overcome these issues, as confirmed by a major steel plant.
Will contribute to safety and lower workloads at production sites. Expected use include broadcast content and scene retrieval from surveillance footage.
