When 3D image processing is used in compute-intensive applications, interfaces and CPU power quickly become a bottleneck. Wouldn't it be convenient if the 3D camera already did some of the computing? Ensenso XR is the first stereo vision camera offered by IDS that processes 3D data directly in the FPGA. The camera family initially consists of XR30 and XR36 models. They are very robust thanks to IP65/67 protection class, feature 1.6 MP Sony sensors and can detect objects at working distances of up to 5 metres.

Since the camera calculates 3D data itself, a high-performance...

Haydon Kerk Pittman introduces the EC042B IDEA® Motor with CANopen. Save time, money and space using a pre-engineered, factory-configured and tested servo system. The integrated package of motor, drive, and feedback connections in a compact and programmable unit reduces motion system components and simplifies machine troubleshooting.

The EC042B IDEA® Motor with CANopen or RS-485 communication is ideal for applications that require precision and compact packing, such as lab automation, medical devices, communications equipment, semiconductor processing...

Artificial intelligence opens up new fields of application for camera technology and image processing. It can be used, for example, to classify fruit varieties or to identify damaged parts (e.g. apples with marks or colour deviations). 

To cover all possible variances with classical image processing would be very time-consuming and costly. With artificial intelligence, however, these challenges can be solved in no time at all. With IDS NXT ocean, there is now a user-friendly complete solution for industrial applications.

In the heat of the moment, what is temperature? Not knowing could compromise every piece of material involved–from raw goods to the finished product–or even your entire production process. Finding the right tool to monitor your unique application’s temperature can be a challenge, but it doesn’t have to be.

The ThermoView TV40 fixed thermal imaging camera from Fluke Process Instruments is designed for your harshest manufacturing environments with features that allow you to integrate with, visualize, and...

SCHURTER extends its successful power entry module series C20F with versions including a ground line choke, designed for suppressing high-frequency interference on the ground conductor. Additionally, the new variants have a bigger X-capacitor for better symmetrical attenuation.

The C20F filter series combines an IEC C20 appliance inlet with a high-quality mains filter. The particularly wide metal flange makes contact with the housing surface over a large area, thus enabling optimum filtering and shielding.

Ground choke

New variants of the C20F...

The latest Endurance and Thermalert 4.0 models from Fluke Process Instruments seamlessly integrate with your system, enabling you to sample more data and ensure faster processing times so that you can take better control of your process, save on overall production costs, and more.

Key features include: 

Read temperatures up to 2300°C (4172°F) and 3200°C (5792°F) on select models...

FLIR Systems A8300sc MWIR camera offers the speed and sensitivity researchers need to capture rapid thermal events and record the most accurate temperature measurements. Incorporating cooled Indium Antimonide (InSb) detectors, the camera is able to produce crisp 1280 x 720-pixel thermal images with very low noise. This allows engineers and scientists to capture the finest image details making them perfect for electronics inspection, aerial thermal mapping, non-destructive material testing, and industrial R&D applications.

FMAD NEO is the latest single-stage filter family for 3-phase systems with a neutral line. Especially compact with high performance, the new filter series is ideally suited for use in today's more portable industrial machines, designed to occupy less floor space in manufacturing plants.

Three-phase control cabinets almost always have severe space constraints. SCHURTER addresses this problem with a completely new filter design, which is much more compact than older generations. The new, almost cubed, design makes optimum use of available space in...

Ming Tai Industrial Co., one of the leaders of total solution of steel strip spring, has developed a wide variety of constant force springs for carbon brush application.

In rail vehicles, carbon brush used to constant force springs are widely applied to alternators, auxiliary motors, blower motors, traction motors, slip ring and earth return current units. In wind turbine, it can be applied to slip ring, grounding systems, brush motors as well. 

Constant force spring dependably exert constant pressure to keeps carbon brush to work steady. It...
