Leuze is using artificial intelligence (AI) to significantly improve the measurement accuracy of optical distance sensors for challenging industrial applications. This improves measurement accuracy without the need for additional computing resources during operation. The solution is based on a neural network.

Reliable liquid detection is an essential requirement in many industrial sectors, including plant engineering. To meet these needs, Elesa introduced two new products: the HSC capacitive level sensor, suitable for conductive liquids such as water and non-conductive liquids such as oil/diesel, and the HSO optical level sensor, ideal for translucent liquids.

The specialists at FDB Panel Fittings are pleased to offer locks, latches, swinghandles, gaskets and hinges to meet specific IP requirements in enclosures, and to discuss how they may best be packaged and installed.

The highly compact design is the defining feature of MEGATRON's MBA and MKA rotary encoders. Thanks to their various configurations, these Hall effect absolute encoders are ideal for applications where space is limited. The MBA has a solid shaft and an imperial thread, while the MKA kit encoder offers designers maximum flexibility.

Industrial machines are often built to operate reliably for decades. However, many of the electronic components used in them, PLCs, drives, HMIs, servo amplifiers and more, go through much shorter product lifecycles. When an automation manufacturer discontinues a product range, the challenge for machine builders and end users is keeping long-serving equipment running without interruption, as the experts at CJS Automation explain.

The experts at REO discuss the three key construction methods for braking resistors, offering insights into how resistor construction affects long-term reliability, safety and performance.

End-of-line palletising is a task commonly automated across a range of industries, due to bottlenecks and the risk of repetitive strain injury (RSI) to workers. RARUK Automation can now offer two simple approaches to palletising automation, from partner Robotiq.

PI (Physik Instrumente) has announced the launch of its newest 6-axis piezo alignment platform: the P-616.65S NanoCube 6-DOF piezo-flexure nanopositioning system.

Start-up business Matta says it is building industrial AI for factory sentience - giving factories the ability to see, understand and improve themselves in real time.

WDS Components is pleased to announce the launch of a new, comprehensive range of fixed force gas struts. These struts are factory set at pre-determined pressures, meaning the output force is constant and precisely calibrated to suit specific applications.
