Low installation depth and easy integration of the sensor via an M18 thread or the drill holes on the housing – the advantages of the established R format have been appreciated for years in the field of photoelectronic sensors. Wenglor’s ultrasonic distance sensors from the new U1RT series combine this format with the tried-and- tested ultrasonic technology of the U1KT and UMD product series, thus setting new standards in terms of range and integration options. Thanks to IO-Link 1.1 and NFC interface, the sensor offers flexible setting options and data storage.
Signal conditioning and sensor specialist Mantracourt has created an infographic to show how plant operators across many industries can achieve the best results from their wireless sensor instrumentation.
A 600kW turnkey solution comprising large EG-series air compressors, air dryers and oil-water-separators ensures reliable and efficient production, reduced energy consumption and lower maintenance costs.
From October 11th to 15th, this international industry platform will present innovative solutions for tomorrow's intelligent transportation systems. Continental will also be there as an exhibitor. The company will be showcasing pioneering robotics technologies that can support humans in crucial areas of application. Three so-called AMR vehicles Autonomous Mobile Robots can be experienced as prototypes at the company's booth: The Continental Corriere is a small delivery robot for transporting groceries or packages in urban areas. The Continental Contadino, in turn, is an agricultural robot that can sow, plant and fertilize autonomously.
Siemens supplies automation hardware and software to the BMW Group. The automation solution includes, among other things, the new generation of the Sinumerik One CNC control, which offers digital possibilities to increase productivity in production. The new automation portfolio will be used at the Steyr production plant in Austria to produce the electric drive housing. It will also help to transform production for the digital age. Siemens and the BMW Group have a long-standing partnership. The success of both companies is based on driving innovation and developing forward-looking technologies, while at the same time focusing on sustainability.
The safe analog input module SAI 041 expands the modular S-DIAS Safety System. Four analog current inputs with a measurement range from 4-20 mA and a resolution of 16 bits, as well as the 24 V sensor supply are integrated into the 25 mm wide DIN rail module.
Thales Alenia Space, a joint venture between Thales (67 %) and Leonardo (33 %), has been selected by ESA in the frame of the Horizon 2020 program, for a new contract to design and develop a prototype of the next generation of ground station for the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS), called NLES-Next (Navigation Land Earth Station).
