TMEIC will supply automation equipment, PLCs and drives for a new pickle line and tandem cold mill at Chinese Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. (Benxi).

Combining three rows of LEDs, an integrated driver, pulse follow strobe and overdrive, the TXFL Series delivers high-intensity uniform illumination at variable distances.

Some high-performance gearmotor systems can benefit from a more aggressive control approach that cranks up variable-frequency-drive operating frequencies. A whitepaper from SEW-Eurodrive shows how.

DB’s maximum achievable speed is increased from 600 to 1,500 feet per minute to better serve the highest throughput, multi-level vertical lifting applications.

ACS850 features on-board safe-torque-off, a removable memory block, intelligent user interface with a series of assistant wizards, a built-in energy saving calculator, and modular hardware and software.

ACS850 is available from 1.5 to 600 hp at 480 Vac for industrial machinery and applications such as extruders, cranes, mixers, web handling and converting.

Eight-page color brochure from ABB Instrumentation covers damper drive solutions for improved boiler control.

The controls use pulse width modulation (PWM) technology to ensure quiet operation, low operating temperature and optimal brush life.

With loads up to 520 lbs. (235 kg), speeds up to 100 in/sec (2.54 m/sec) and strokes up to 230 in (5.8 m), the MXB-S belt-drive actuator’s a solution for light- to moderate-loading applications requiring high duty cycle and high speeds over long strokes.

ALTA Refrigeration achieves faster, easier product development and servicing with edge controllers and MQTT. This feature originally appeared in InTech Focus: Control Systems 2022, the InTech Focus ebook for September 2022.

Geraldi is a 27 year veteran of the high tech automation industry and holds a BEEE from Stevens Institute of Technology along with a MBA from Iona College.

The Compact Ring Drive (CRD) system boasts a precision grade bearing and drive mechanism in a sealed housing. The CRD is freely programmable, and can be optimized for high speed, high torque or both, depending on the application.

The worldwide industry provider designs, engineers, and manufacturers highly configurable solutions for check-in, sorting, high-speed transport, baggage reclaim and more.

The 6mm-wide Optocoupler serves high-speed machine vision applications and quality testing with voltage conversion and isolation.

HES510 incorporates a 3-phase, brushless dc motor and microprocessor control unit and is capable of up to 50,000 rpm.

By Darcy Simonis, ABB Food and beverage production requires a large range of temperatures. This means that plants must have effective cooling systems to deal with the excess heat. Removing the excess heat from the system requires a cooling tower, however, traditional designs require frequent maintenance

Ultra-precise merge gapping, parallel diverting sortation with linear induction motors, modular variable-speed functionality and single-point system control – JCPenney’s new Lathrop, California DC with its Integrated Sortation Sub-System (ISS) technology including a 980-foot long single-unit continuous sorter from Dematic, is processing up to 165,000 cases per day at 99.9 percent accuracy.

The BD5 provides stable velocity control over a wide speed range. Motor speed can be controlled by an on-board trimpot, a 0-5V analog input, or the drive's digital inputs.
