The Bürkert valve island Type 8653 AirLINE Field with protection class IP65/IP67 allows the installation of pneumatic pilot valves directly on-site at the process valves without a control cabinet. This enhances flexibility for the integration into the respective automation concept, reduces installation costs and saves valuable space in the production facilities.
As automated systems are becoming more extensive, they require corresponding safety controllers to maintain operations. Mitsubishi Electric’s latest iQ-F safety extension modules bring reliability to the next level. These compact, fully integrated units streamline installation and configuration while improving data visualisation and integrity.
For many years, customers have enjoyed the benefits of AS-Interface for controlling Lenze Drives and frequency inverters. The free topology and cost-effective installation technology of ASi saves both time and money. Bihl+Wiedemann added to this perfect match with additional products like the ASi-5 self-configuring 8 I/O module (BWU4232). This module is ideal for the Lenze Smart Motor or other drives with binary control and four additional signals – either inputs or outputs.
What will the factory of the future be like? How will it be organized? To answer these and many other questions about the Industry 4.0 production model, all it takes is a trip to the FPT Industrial Driveline plant in Turin, dedicated to the production of transmissions and axles for heavy equipment.
EFFECT Photonics will be exhibiting at the ECOC Virtual Exhibition. ECOC is the premier networking destination for the optical communications industry.
