The pencil probe is designed to increase measurement accuracy and expands the 137B series of quartz, free-field ICP blast pressure pencil probes, reducing the need for multiple single-sensor probes.

By Matt Rendall, Host of Drive Manufacturing Summit The convergence of advanced technology and manufacturing processes requires an organizational leader. Someone who will research, advise, and embrace on capability and process. This leader will emerge as the Chief Robotics Officer (CRO).

Wireless Sensor Network for Building & Home Automation Market Viewed as Key For Successful Implementation of Smart Cities

The DSRK strain probe from Baumer is designed for tie bar strain measurement. Containing no elastomers, it can be used at ambient temperatures up to 85°C, and does not require subsequent recalibrations due to age.

ProSense TSDA25 series temperature switches are designed to offer temperature monitoring and control with setup via mechanical adjustment dials.

This capability will enhance ABB’s ability to address trends toward bigger, more power-hungry data centers and industrial plants that require ever-larger UPS systems.

An R&D program has been initiated there to discover new uses for the TC with help from a new automated process for winding coils.

The lab will be used for proprietary research and development of cyber security technologies and products, hands-on training and certifications, and testing and validation of industrial cyber security solutions.

This tool provides a self-guided assessment for machine builders to measure their performance in the three pillars of industrial safety: culture (behavior), compliance (procedure) and capital (investment in contemporary technology).

This intermediate-level book explains the application of basic and advanced regulatory control strategies for the wet process industries.

Using a browser, TraceLink AVM customers login to a web portal and review any aspect of the validation lifecycle, including the validation plan, traceability matrix, test results and final validation certificates.

These include the single axis Model 2220 or triaxial Model 2470, featuring aluminum housings and a standard 1 meter integral cable; the single axis Model 2240 or triaxial Model 2480, featuring hermetically sealed titanium housings and an integral connector; and the single axis Model 2276 or triaxial Model 2476, featuring aluminum housings and an integral connector.

This HMI features a 7-inch wide display with 800 x 480 resolution for clear image quality and is equipped with a remote connectivity option through a VNC server.

Manufacturing technology executives will focus on ‘Empowering Manufacturing’s Future’ during the 2017 Global Automation & Manufacturing Summit on Tuesday, November 7 at the Integrated Automation, Motion & Drives trade show (IAMD USA) co-located with FABTECH 2017 in Chicago.

Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Cologne, Germany, FASys is a vendor of manufacturing software solutions, including DIN 4000/4003-based tool and resource management, and the integration of presetting and CNC machines (DNC).

By Kent Lennartsson, Research Manager, Kvaser AB The use of CAN began in the automotive industry and has since branched out into a multitude of sectors, including industrial automation. However, CAN in itself is not equipped to handle the control processes needed for this complex industry. Instead, a secondary, higher layer protocol was required to make adoption possible.

CX0 Series basic area sensors have a sensing distance of up to 6m and a detection height up to 320mm. CX2 Series advanced area sensors also have a sensing distance of up to 6m with detection height of up to 960mm and offer analog outputs and a blanking function.

This interface option is in addition to the previously announced SSI, EtherNet/IP, EtherCat, Powerlink, Profbus DP and Profinet interfaces.

The HIPERFACE DSL open interface is designed to bring together all the advantages of a digital real-time interface: One Cable Technology, and continuous condition monitoring.

This speed advantage makes the F58 encoders suited to packaging, textile and printing applications—or any other application with fast machines that could be even faster with a position sensing upgrade.
