As automation continues to transform manufacturing productivity, competitiveness often comes down to maintaining “lights out” processes and lowering engineering time and costs. While robotic systems can provide undeniable benefits like efficiency and labor savings, not every task is ideally suited for automation.
Balluff’s new pressure sensors with integrated displays provide a programming function, a visual display of the current pressure, and a diagnostics window into the sensor.
The brand-new HVF-E visual flow indicators with flow-meter sensor find applications on machines requiring flow measurement, like irrigation systems, heating/cooling systems, machines mixing water and detergents or automatic fluid loading the tanks.
New capabilities could enable a multitude of robotic applications, ranging from non-destructive inspection and repair of industrial infrastructure pipe inspection to supporting wireless infrastructure construction.
OEM equipment builders require a single source of robust sensors for integration within machines for producing N95 face masks. Material feeds must be synchronized prior to assembly and, during the process, the part-completed mask must be positioned correctly.
With WebSentinel Predict, Datalogic is launching a new Cloud-based data gathering and analytics suite, crucial for customers to maximize their investments in Datalogic devices and services, increase uptime, and minimize cost of operations.
