The TFD-4000 Series utilizes a magnetic position marker to provide a stroke length of 0 to 14, 24 or 50 mm—depending on model. These sensors make touchless measurements through air and non-magnetic materials.

During the retrofit, the existing Sinumerik PCU50 and MMC103 hardware and software components are removed and replaced with a Simatic IPC 427D industrial PC with Windows 10 and up-to-date HMI Advanced (human-machine interface) operating software.

To help ensure 24-hour energy autonomy throughout its global expedition, the Energy Observer uses a combination of intermittent renewable energy: solar panels, wind turbines, lithium-ion batteries and a hydrogen production system.

Highlights from ABB’s showcase include solutions that can enable digitalization and enhance the grid, in line with this year’s conference theme, “Re-imagining utility of the future.”

By Michele Windsor, Ultralife Corporation For robots to be truly reliable and safe, engineers should ensure they have the correct power solutions. This article explains the impact poor design and integration of batteries can have on industrial robots.

A consequence of the concept of multiple independent protection suggests minimization of risk occurs when safety instrumented systems are completely independent from process control systems.

Applications include painting, coating, rinsing, cooling, quenching, wetting (moistening), dust control and humidification. The Atomizing Nozzles are fully adjustable to minimize air and liquid consumption and have interchangeable liquid and air caps.

The agreement calls for the creation of a global center for the development of scientific research in DTVC.

The disruptive growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and next-generation smart manufacturing, also known as Industry 4.0, is placing demands on designers to develop motion-enabled solutions that are powerful, small, precise and efficient.

By Walter Smith, Sensata Technologies The advent of rare-earth magnets and advanced brushless DC motor (BLDC) motor design has empowered a new range of motors small enough to fit into confined spaces, powerful enough to do real work, and efficient enough to be used in wireless or remote applications.

By Jonathan Wilkins, EU Automation Machine safety is of the utmost importance to manufacturers to reduce the risk of accidents and safeguard staff. However, the benefits of a comprehensive safety strategy can extend far beyond this. But how can manufacturers reap the rewards safety brings?

The agreement calls for the creation of a global center for the development of scientific research in DTVC.

With the setup of a transmitter and the versatility of a controller, the 9950 Gen 2b fully supports the Signet 2751 pH/ORP Smart Sensor Electronics for pH/ORP measurements.

The MI988 is equipped with two DDR4-2666 SO-DIMM slots that support ECC and up to 32GB capacity. It has an M.2 SSD storage (NVMe) and two Gigabit Ethernet ports.

LED modules are interchangeable and color sequences are changeable by adding or removing up to five color module choices even after installation. LED modules of the same color within a signal tower will light up simultaneously.

The introduction of the NCA-5710 is a response to network service providers’ demand for more flexible methods for delivering virtualization performance for network computing

The facility will bring together academics from different disciplines to explore the full potential of additive manufacturing (AM) for medical devices. The University of Birmingham has several active projects to innovate new medical devices and technologies to assist recovery following disease or injury, covering various clinical remits.

Both companies are to develop an integrated RFID tracking and weighing solution for monitoring containers in Production on the basis of the HARTING MICA (Modular Industry Computing Architecture) Edge Computer.

For critical industrial measurements, place the thermocouple in a bath or dry block or cross check the reading against another thermocouple.

The platform comprises radio-frequency beacons deployed in a constellation, mobile sensors, and a software suite.
