3D vision technology is transforming automation across industries, enabling more accurate detection, measurement, and interaction with real-world environments. But with several different technologies available, choosing the right solution can be challenging. The experts at OEM Automatic guide us through the options.

To simplify installation and reduce assembly time, OEM Automatic now offers a complete assembly service for custom safety edges. Each safety edge is manufactured to the customer's exact specification, providing a ready-to-install solution that eliminates the need for on-site cutting, bonding or wiring.

The compact multi-colour beacon 189 from TEXELCO Safety Technology, available from Norstat, is designed to deliver brilliant illumination with LEDs that allow up to 7 colours.

The smallest representative of the servo compensating couplings from JAKOB ANTRIEBSTECHNIK, the miniature couplings, are designed to compensate for the misalignment or an axial displacement of two axes or shafts.

New configurable AI-powered 3D machine vision from SICK combines deep learning with precise height data analysis via its Nova foundation software. The company has equipped its Nova machine vision platform with AI deep learning algorithms to enable ease-of-use and quick customisation, opening up a range of new capabilities.

While some machines require advanced motion control and high-performance hardware, many do not. Here, Karl Walker, business development manager at Beckhoff Automation UK, explains why right-sizing automation can reduce costs and provide a stronger foundation for future growth.

Mouser Electronics is stocking the latest products from OMRON Industrial Automation, a world-leading supplier of advanced electronics and control system components.

Leuze is advising manufacturers and operators to prepare early for the implementation of the Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230.

In the production of turned metal components such as copper, the precise hole depth is a critical quality feature. With the optoCONTROL CLS1000 series of controllers, in combination with the CFS4-A11 light guide reflex sensor from Micro-Epsilon, hole depths can be detected on a non-contact basis, reliably and with high precision.

Sensor expert Baumer has established a new class of sensors following the introduction of its new upgraded smart 2D profile sensors designed to deliver high quality inspection and positioning performance. For users this means easier and more reliable performance for tasks such as presence detection, completeness checks, and quality inspection by utilising smart profile sensors.
