The three AP-1600T cameras are: the AP-1600T-USB, with a USB3 Vision interface; the AP-1600T-PGE, with a GigE Vision interface; and the 1600T-PMCL with a dual Mini Camera Link interface.

The motors are available in a power range of 0.55 to 45 kilowatts (kW), and also with rated speeds of 1500 and 3000 revolutions per min-1. In conjunction with the recently launched Sinamics Reluctance Control License, encoderless closed-loop torque control is possible down to a standstill.

With its support for up to 384GB DDR4 system memory at 2666 MHz, the NCA-5520 is designed to maximize packet processing efficiency for virtual network functions, cryptography acceleration for deep packet inspection and next-generation firewall and UTM/IPS/IDS applications.

As a real-world application of digital twin technology, this solution will be used by Italpresse Gauss customers to perform maintenance activities with greater effectiveness.

The 750-494/000-005 uses external shunts to measure current power networks up to 480 VAC. The module can also be used to measure DC voltages up to 277 VDC and high currents on two channels.

AWS IoT Analytics collects, pre-processes, enriches, stores, and analyzes IoT device data at scale so companies can identify things like the average distance traveled for a fleet of connected vehicles, or how many doors are locked after work hours in a smart building, or assess the performance of devices over time to predict maintenance issues and better react to changing environmental conditions.

Rolling element bearings are common components in rotating machinery. Defects in bearings during manufacturing can cause vibration, noise, and even system failure. Defects in bearings must be found at

In its Partner Country role, Sweden is taking over from Mexico as the nation featured in 2018. In 2018, Forbes named Sweden the world’s best country for doing business and the Global Sustainable Competitiveness Index ranked Sweden as the most competitive economy in the world.

In his new role as President of SATO America, Tim assumes the execution responsibility and oversight of the company’s North and Central America, Caribbean, and Mexico business.

The partnership is intended help businesses connect their machines and physical infrastructure to the digital world, allowing them to translate the data they produce into business results. Analytics and digital services will help them increase productivity and efficiency across their business.

By John Mitchell, CP Automation The rise of non-linear loads in industrial environments over the last two decades has resulted in the growing problem of harmonic currents and utility-level voltage distortion. This technical article explores active and passive filtering.

By Jonathan Wilkins, EU Automation Since its release, Amazon has sold over 20 million Echo devices with Alexa — the voice activated assistant. It has changed the way we complete many daily tasks, from shopping, to getting weather updates. Could it do the same for manufacturing?

Molex and TTTech announced a collaboration based on their shared vision of open, flexible and interoperable systems in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).

The CB100 gas flush systems help keep oxygen out of the beer. And, PSA’s double-seaming technology helps keep cans sealed tight.

The hybrid connector permits the shielded connection of measuring instruments, encoders and motors. It is also suitable for applications in other demanding environments, e.g. wind energy.

The ‘Robotic Ultrasonic QC’ solution applies adaptive sensor positioning to obtain valid measurements. Based on contact forces and ultrasonic measurements, FRS continuously adjusts the position and orientation of the ultrasonic sensor in real time.

VD4 Digitup is accomplished by using vacuum VD4 breakers with onboard current and voltage sensors connected to Relion protection and control relays enabling IEC 61850 digital communication.

With version 5.0, the CSIA Best Practices and Benchmarks Manual has been updated to reflect new material, including a new chapter on cyber security. The entire manual was reviewed for organization, clarity and compliance with a global relevance.

Key topics in TIA Portal V15.1 include simulation and virtual commissioning options which enable better digital design of integrated work processes, as well as the expanded application focus with Simatic S7-1500R/H controllers, Sinamics S210 drive integration, Multiuser Engineering, software units and OPC UA functions.

Endress+Hauser received the HERMES AWARD for a hygienic compact thermometer featuring a self-calibrating sensor for process temperature measurements that meet stringent safety and quality specifications.
