Moog has announced a new Energy Management System (EMS) for machines with electrohydrostatic actuation systems.

With Eplan’s eLearning courses, the sky’s the limit for users, and a brand-new addition is the Eplan Update Training 2024, which makes it easier for users to get started and presents new functions such as mathematical calculations for block properties.

Emerson has introduced the new ASCO Series 327C solenoid valve, which features a direct-acting, high-flow design that it says provides superior flow-to-power ratio compared to similar valves.

At SPS, the CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA) announced new products and services for the development of safety devices with CC-Link IE TSN connectivity. This addition to the existing offering will help drive the implementation of highly effective, convergent industrial automation applications for functional safety.

Precision sensor manufacturer Micro-Epsilon has extended its scanCONTROL LLT30xx range of 2D/3D laser line profile sensors (profile scanners) with two larger measuring fields now available. The scanCONTROL LLT30xx-430 and scanCONTROL LLT30xx-600 provide measuring fields of up to 560 x 390 mm and 788 x 610 mm respectively.

Modern manufacturing requires handling solutions capable of managing product diversity, shorter product life cycles and growing levels of product customisation. The HEPP electric gripper from Festo addresses this need for greater flexibility in the gripping of multiple workpieces with adaptable stroke lengths and gripping forces.

Determining a safe absolute position usually requires using highly complex technology. Pepperl+Fuchs offers much simpler solutions for this process, which are based on a combination of the new PUS evaluation unit with the safePXV or WCS sensors.

Configuring machine vision inspections in 3D is now possible in a ‘snapshot’, thanks to the combination of SICK’s powerful and compact Visionary-T Mini AP camera with the new easy-to-use SICK Nova 3D Presence Inspection sensorApp.

Signal lines are like nerve tracts in technical systems. Therefore, it is very important to protect these system parts from surge voltages caused by switching operations or lightning strikes. The surge protective devices of the Termitrab complete product family from Phoenix Contact enable this protection to be realised while saving space at the same time.

This month sees FATH out and about demonstrating two of its latest material handling solutions. Its innovative adapter pallets combine nicely with its proven industrial dollies which are found on shop floors across all sectors of manufacturing.
