Monitoring of hybrid communication structures in industrial environments in a single application
Integrated security functions and IIoT capability in a compact form factor
As automation systems grow more complex, machine builders are rethinking how they design and deploy motion. Nicola Pezzolato, Application Engineering Leader EMEA at Kollmorgen, explores how a new generation of servo technology is helping manufacturers simplify design, improve flexibility, and build greater resilience into their supply chains.
Versatile communication options & high reliability
The Industrial Security Harmonization Group (ISHG) will present these insights during its session at Hannover Messe 2026, offering guidance to industry stakeholders on how to effectively secure industrial communication systems in practice. Registration to take part in the event, live at the HANNOVER MESSE or online is open.

The new class of controller from Trio combine high-performance motion control over EtherCAT with logic and I/O expansion to enable faster, simpler machine development.
Versatile motors with high power density for mobile applications
The I/O module controls stepper motors with Modbus/TCP, Ethernet/IP, or PROFINET interface to host PC, PLC or PAC
Contactless transmission of up to 50 W power and data rates of up to 100 Mbit/s
For industrial temperature measurement versatile applications up to 1100°C
Functionally safe, reliable performance in the toughest industrial environments
Leuze SmartID-Edge controls a network of identification systems and sensors for track-and-trace requirements in production and the supply chain. Secure communication between 1D scanners or 2D camera systems takes place at edge level using OPC UA and full integration of the AutoID Companion Specification. The advantage: Each object to be identified is not only represented by its code but also mapped on a virtual tag in the edge system.
Compact motor with built-in Industrial Ethernet interface
Digital Interfaces for Efficient Process Automation with Pyrometers or Infrared Cameras
New Ethernet, SSI and analogue encoders in stainless steel
Laser triangulation sensors measure variables such as displacement, distance and position on a non-contact, wear-free basis. The most important sensor features are high performance, a compact design and the ability to stabilize the signal with changing surfaces. Micro-Epsilon has now equipped its sensors with the advanced IO-Link interface to network multiple sensors in the factory.
Embedded RESTful API facilitates data transfer between I/O Modules and network clients
For easier quality assurance during pressing, assembly and testing
Optical and magnetic versions with Ethernet interfaces
Providing access to sensor data without the need for cables
Standardized Plug System for PROFINET over SPE
Affordable connectivity for large distances of up to 1.000 m in large plants
Presentation of articulated and SCARA robots and motion news to industry visitors
A hydrogen-fuelled kiln test rig is helping brick and ceramics manufacturers to support the energy transition. In a first for the UK, a kiln and furnace manufacturer has partnered with flow control specialist Bürkert to manage the precise and reliable control of hydrogen. The result for end users is increased production quality and confidence in the transition to hydrogen, enabling a more sustainable process.
For use in vacuum with 90° beam path for more compact design
Decentralised acquisition and control of process data with less wiring efforts
In course of Industry 4.0, Kübler has continued to expand its specially developed Industrial Ethernet portfolio in recent years in order to offer customers maximum functionality with protocols like Ethernet/IP, Profinet IO and PROFIsafe. The communication capability of a sensor plays a significant role in ensuring that network communication in the sense of Industry 4.0 is combined with real-time data exchange in the future.
With air purge and cooling function for harsh industrial environments
PROFINET Certification for Virtual Controller and Device Instances
Integration of SSI & BISS Encoders into Ethernet networks
Wide range of CPU and I/O configurations with screens from 12" to 24"
Three aspects of sensor technology are particularly important in image processing for industrial automation: performance, flexibility and usability. Simple Vision sensors meet these requirements. They are as easy to operate as optical sensors, plus they are as powerful as camera systems. Leuze offers this concept as a quick and straightforward introduction to vision technology.
