Asset and component traceability, from production to maintenance and even spare part service contracts, becomes easier because more information can be printed in a legible way on durable labels. This can also result in better compliance with legal requirements such as UL certification, safety standards and environmental responsibilities. 

Brady’s asset and component labels can be created with the highest flexibility.
This includes:
-    small prints of text in every language, symbols and special characters
-    improved serialisation...

The new 1660 ... BHx series sets new standards: with respect to dimensions and weight, it delivers high speed and power values with low vibration and heat development, something inconceivable until recently. This drive series is thereby predestined for handpieces with high power requirements in applications with limited installation space.

The BHx series made by FAULHABER are new high power slotless brushless motors in 16 mm diameter based on a 2-pole technology. Through their robust, compact design and outstanding performance data, the motors of this new product family are particularly...

Resolve Optics has supplied several high temperature Short Wavelength Infrared (SWIR) endoscopic viewing systems to enable inspection of the blades in a gas turbine while in operation. To enable inspection during gas turbine operation required that the SWIR endoscope had to operate up to 950° C at the tip with 150PSI pressure and be able to withstand severe vibration. To overcome the negative effects of high temperature and pressure – Resolve Optics created a novel design which allowed introduction of cool air at high pressure at the mid-section of the endoscope....

The eddyNCDT 3005 from Micro-Epsilon is a new, powerful eddy current measurement system for fast, high precision displacement measurements. Due to its pressure-resistant, thermally stable and compact design, the eddyNCDT 3005 is ideal for machine integration.

Non-contact eddy current sensors from Micro-Epsilon are designed for extremely high precision measurement of displacement, distance, position, oscillation and vibration, etc. to micrometer accuracies. Pressure, dirt, oil or high temperatures have almost no influence on measurement precision. This eddy current measurement system...

IDS adds a new model to its family of vision app-based industrial cameras. IDS NXT vegas with 1.3 MP CMOS colour sensor, liquid lens with autofocus, ToF sensor for distance measurement and integrated lighting will be available from the end of April. Plus: updates for firmware and cockpit.

What makes IDS NXT so special?

1. The freely programmable platform is not restricted to specific tasks. Users can change and set up their preferred vision tasks in a very short time. This eliminates the need to switch devices.

2. The image processing engine of devices like...

SCHURTER introduces its new RTS, a particularly compact overtemperature protection device using advanced SMD technology. It is suited for the highest demands of protection in power semiconductors.

RTS stands for "Reflowable Thermal Switch". It was developed to protect highly integrated power semiconductors like MOSFETs, ICs, IGBTs, Triacs, SCRs, etc. from overheating. Before mechanical activation, the RTS can be mounted using conventional reflow soldering techniques with temperature profiles up to 260 °C.

Applications

IDS NXT – which is the name of the novel vision app-based industrial cameras from IDS – can be explained best by a smartphone analogy: Without apps, smartphones would be ordinary mobile phones. They turn them into versatile devices that perform a great number of helpful tasks. IDS transfers this principle into the world of image processing.
The newly developed, freely programmable platform is no longer restricted to specific tasks. Users can install various different vision apps on their IDS NXT devices and can even develop individual apps with the help of the IDS Software Development...

Unitronics, a leader in the programmable logic controller arena, features MQTT in the latest release of UniStream, the award-winning PLC+HMI series.

Lightweight, simple, MQTT (Message Queueing Telemetry Transport) runs over TCP/IP, based on a publish- subscribe structure.

UniStream supports MQTT as a 'client' that can both publish and subscribe to messages. UniStream can:

Publish data to a defined Broker according to a configured Topic. For example, the Topic may be Machine; the messages can...
