OKW’s award-winning CONTROL-KNOBS for rotary potentiometers and encoders can now be specified customised and 'production line ready'.

Drive technology and automation are no longer purely technical matters. In a market where energy, labour and expertise are becoming increasingly scarce, the operational foundation increasingly determines whether industrial companies can protect their margins, delivery reliability and capacity for growth, as the experts at Lenze explain.

Fast, reliable scanning should be as simple as using a supermarket checkout or parcel dispatch point. The new sensingCam SEC200 image-based code reader from SICK brings that ease of use to logistics and industrial environments, helping customers identify 1D and 2D codes reliably, keep processes running smoothly and reduce avoidable delays.

Reliable operator interfaces are essential for efficient machine operation. Eaton's range of push buttons, switch-disconnectors and indicators provides machine builders with proven solutions for machine control, status indication and safe operation. Designed for use across a wide variety of industrial applications, these components combine robust performance with a consistent and modern design philosophy.

The S711 safety relay from Eaton provides a reliable and efficient solution for implementing functional safety in machine applications. Designed to support the monitoring of emergency stop circuits, safety switches and guard door systems, the device helps machine builders achieve safety requirements while maintaining design flexibility and operational efficiency.

Advantech has announced the UNO-2484V3, a next-generation fanless edge automation computer designed for demanding industrial applications. Powered by Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) processors, dual-channel DDR5 memory, and extensive industrial I/O, the UNO-2484V3 delivers enhanced processing and graphics performance in a compact, modular platform built for reliable edge deployment.

Reliable circuit protection is essential for keeping machines operating safely and efficiently. Eaton's Bussmann series portfolio of fuses, fuse holders and fuse gear provides machine builders with proven protection solutions that help safeguard equipment, reduce downtime and support compliance with international standards.

ifm has introduced the PF15 series, a flush G1/2 pressure sensor with an integrated display, engineered to monitor processes with highly viscous or abrasive media directly on the system.

Energy efficiency is becoming an increasingly important requirement in machine design. Manufacturers are looking for ways to reduce energy consumption, increase transparency and support sustainability goals without compromising productivity. Eaton's energy monitoring solutions help machine builders gain deeper insight into machine performance and identify opportunities for improvement.

The new RBF 2000 from mk Technology Group provides machine builders and system integrators with a flexible roller conveyor solution for the transportation, buffering and handling of containers, boxes and trays.
