As quantum and photonics technologies continue to evolve, the need for precise optical alignment under cryogenic conditions is becoming increasingly critical. Addressing this demand, PI (Physik Instrumente) has launched a dedicated low-temperature development program focused on extending its nanopositioning expertise into multi-axis systems for quantum applications.

IDS Imaging Development Systems is expanding its 3D portfolio with Nion, an industrial ToF camera featuring 1.2-megapixel resolution and integrated depth processing. It provides high-resolution and temporally stable depth information at 30 fps, even during rapid movements and in changing lighting conditions.

Phoenix Contact is extending its range of device connectors for the transmission of data, signals, and power. The new M8 and M12 versionsare suitable for direct integration into SMT soldering processes.

Epson announces the launch of its new CX-A series, a high-performance range of 6-axis industrial robots designed to deliver higher precision, faster cycle times and increased reliability across a wide range of manufacturing and logistics applications.

With a new offer, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS provides more freedom in system design: A modular system comprising decentralised drive electronics and efficient motors offers full consistency.

As high-speed packaging lines and robotic systems continue to increase in speed, precision and autonomy, weighing is evolving - from a simple control point into a core element of modern automation architectures, delivering actionable real-time process data. The new PW22i IO-Link single-point load cell from HBK provides precision, speed and intelligence - embedded at sensor level.

In today's precision driven manufacturing environments, machine builders and retrofitters rely on encoder systems that combine accuracy, durability, and compatibility. RSF Elektronik's MS 14 and MS 15 linear encoder families from Heidenhain deliver all three.

Renishaw has launched its absolute multi-DoF (multiple degrees of freedom) optical encoder system, that combines one or more of the company's RXMA30 1.5D scales with its market-proven RESOLUTE absolute encoder readheads.
