Rockwell Automation has announced the launch of SecureOT solution suite, a comprehensive industrial cybersecurity offering designed to help manufacturers and critical infrastructure protect critical operations and build secure environments.

PI (Physik Instrumente) offers a new 6-axis variant of its successful F-141 PINovAlign automated fibre alignment system. The F-141 is a compact, cost-optimised high-performance alignment solution providing precision motion in 2, 3, 4 and degrees of freedom for the industrial test and assembly of photonic integrated circuits (PICs), fibres and fibre array units (FAU).

With decades of precision measurement expertise, HBK is helping robots "feel" and interact with their environment safely and intelligently. We spoke to Ryan Young, Global Head of Engineering - OEM Sensors, who heads up development of customised 6-DoF force/torque sensors for OEMs to find out more.

Achieving equivalent forces to hydraulic designs, electric linear actuators are more precise and reliable, and they're also less expensive to run. When upgrading to an electric linear actuator, accurate sizing of the existing application is crucial to achieve the most efficient and cost-effective specification, as Gerard Bush, engineer at INMOCO, explains.

Mechan Controls' ES Emergency Stop Units are designed to provide a reliable and compliant stop function for machinery and built for harsh environments and high-demand applications.

By 2030, 35 per cent of large manufacturing companies will have fully autonomous facilities - according to Industry 4.0 solutions specialist, Intelligence Industrielle. Here, Mike Davies, managing director of EMS, explores how advanced motor technology is making this vision of the future of manufacturing possible.

OMRON has announced the launch of the FHV7-AI Detection Camera, the latest addition to its proven family of industrial vision systems. The new model combines advanced AI-driven inspection capabilities with a simplified, step-by-step user interface and a compact, all-in-one design - reducing engineering time and overall cost of ownership.

Leuze rounds off its laser scanner portfolio with the new ROD 100 series switching devices complementing the ROD 300 and ROD 500 series measuring laser scanners. These detect objects precisely and are ideally suited for collision protection and load position checking tasks.

In today’s rapidly evolving industrial landscape, functional safety is no longer just a regulatory checkbox - it has become a strategic success factor for machine builders, as the experts at Lenze explain.

Rather than try to make every manufacturer of every latch conform to one tool, Southco is meeting them where they are with the R4-15 Rotary Latch. Its versatile design allows it to secure many different types of panels across heavy machinery, and Southco offers a variety of tool-actuated options to match other latches on the vehicle.
