OSHA initiated an inspection at the company’s automotive aluminum castings manufacturing facility in August 2018 after receiving a medical referral. OSHA cited the company for failing to protect the employees from exposure to airborne metalworking fluids during machining operations, and failing to evaluate respiratory hazards.

The Vanguard CO detection capability offers stability, resolution and broader range. Its range enables alarming at higher values while also providing accuracy at lower values, which is helpful for asset management.

binder’s M12 connector has a separate contact body, allowing it to be positioned exactly where users want the mating right-angle cable connector.

ISA's up-to-date work on final control valve elements presents theoretical and practical information in an easy, conversational style,

The joint solution of Lanner’s validated white-box gateway integrated with the edge computing software by Interactor is developed to enable interoperability and connectivity on both hardware and software levels in industrial automation and smart city deployments.

By Scott Fawcett, Essentra Components In a world where digitisation and automation are completely transforming traditional processes from the very core, the supply chain can hugely benefit from these developments which will help businesses futureproof themselves in this new world.

The report states that over 55 per cent of automation distributors do not believe collaborative robot technology is advanced enough to deliver the performance demands of manufacturing or packaging industries. This coincides with over 80 per cent of distributors witnessing no decline in industrial robot sales since the dawn of the cobot.

The Journal of Innovation highlights the innovative ideas, approaches, products and services emerging within the industrial internet such as Data, IoT and digital transformation, AI, smart cities, the smart factory and edge computing.

The CP600-Pro ensures operation within an environmental temperature range of -4 through 140 °F, and features a glass touch-screen for information display.

To scale the analog input, calculate the "% of the raw counts range" that is represented by the analog input, and multiply by the EU100% range, since the EU0% value is 0.

The TR500 accommodates U.S. pallets and can be delivered with a fully automated lifter functionality for pick-up and delivery of goods in heights ranging from 23.6 inches (600mm) to 29.5 inches (750mm).

Constructed of solid brass, the 845 Series features an electroless nickel-plated brass ball, 302 stainless steel detent and spring, and has a maximum operating pressure of 500 psi at up to 180ºF, making it suitable for pressure, vacuum operation, and panel applications.

This modular architecture results in a package of 50mm in diameter by a maximum 24mm thick that allows designers to incorporate the ACW4 and TCW4 sensors into both new and existing systems.
