This micro block accommodates the increasing miniaturization of machine, switchgear, and control cabinet design. The MP 1.5 blocks feature a connection capacity of 0.14 mm² to 1.5 mm² (26-16 AWG).

The AAEON FWS-2271 comes with a steel casing that is ideal for wiring closets, conference rooms, retail branches, or small offices requiring reliable performance and quiet operation.

By Ian Humphries, Boulting Group Research conducted by the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) shows that just six per cent of the engineering workforce in the UK is female, making the country one of the smallest employers of female engineering professionals in Europe. This article explores the pathways into the sector and how it is evolving.

In a new paper published in the journal Nature, scientists based in Scotland and Switzerland describe how they have used tomography and high energy x-rays, combined with a novel reconstruction algorithm, to peer inside and reconstruct the magnetic structure of a micrometer-sized 'pillar' of gadolinium-cobalt magnetic material for the first time.

These sensors weigh 1.85 grams with a size of 9.6 mm x 17.3 mm. They are hermetically sealed in a rugged titanium housing and feature easy to install thru-hole mounting.

Providing digital measurements of illuminance (brightness) and chromaticity matching the CIE 1931 “Standard Observer” XYZ scale enabling True Color functionalities, the TCS3430 may be used for functions such as display management, automatic white color balancing or color management.

The MX models utilize rows of cylindrical rollers to provide a greater contact area than slides that use steel balls. As a result, bearings deliver load capacities up to 674 kN for dynamic loads and 1,300 kN for static loads.

The heavy-duty contact inserts are compatible with many common transmission lines, so they can be combined with other housings and connection mechanisms.

This suite of solutions, which includes Machine & Equipment Health, Reliability Management, Compliance and Integrity Management, and Asset Strategy Optimization, is a set of software applications that use data and analytics designed to improve the reliability and availability of industrial assets, minimize total cost of ownership, improve safety, and reduce operational risks.

Using a film technology Aluminum Oxide replaceable sensor element, the AquaXact 1688 enables dew point and ppm H2O measurements in various process applications, including glove boxes, air separation units, natural gas processing and instrument air.

Effective cybersecurity management is essential for all organizations, regardless of size. This ISA document is intended to provide a starting point for small- and medium-businesses (SMBs), particularly those that manage industrial processes and employ some level of automation.

Key success factors for process analytical technology are management commitment, a cross-departmental strategy, and assigning appropriate resources.

Alongside their optimism toward automation, workers also report a willingness to retrain or upskill to maintain their current job status. In fact, the study found half of the respondents (51%) agreed they would be happy to retrain if they were being paid the same or more than their current salary.

CyberX’s ICS Attack Vector Prediction technology generates a visual representation of all possible attack chains — ranked by risk — that can compromise critical OT assets, such as robotics machinery in manufacturing plants and circuit breakers in electrical substations

Running the length of CeMAT from 23 to 27 April 2018, this special showcase will consist of some 30 exhibitors showcasing the latest technology involving goods transport, incoming goods, production, warehousing, order picking, packing and outgoing goods.

In order to meet the needs of Asian electronics manufacturers and strengthen partnerships with them, Rehm Thermal Systems has recently set up a new branch in Taiwan.

By Michael LaGrega, Siemens Data gathered by RFID readers can be a critical element in a corporation’s plans to gain increased visibility and understanding of parts, materials and other moveable assets. All of this valuable information can be integrated more easily when standards like OPC-UA with its AutoID companion are employed.

This new office will help support the company’s growth strategy. A recent surge in engineering activity throughout the Midwest region has accelerated the company’s expansion to meet resource requirements.

This white paper is designed to help small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) recognize their vulnerability to industrial cyberattack and forge an effective cybersecurity plan based on established standards and practices.

This specification describes the mapping of the Sercos device model and the Sercos device profiles to OPC UA, so that functions and parameters of Sercos devices are made accessible via OPC UA in a vendor-independent manner.
