Product Spotlights
Simplify maintenance with interchangeable cylinders
NFPA and ISO have developed global engineering standards designed to streamline cylinder replacement, improve mounting compatibility, and simplify integration into existing machinery.
These standards make modifications and actuator replacements more efficient, resulting in less downtime, easier maintenance, and improved operational performance across industrial applications.
Bring simple, hassle-free zone logic control to conveyors with Banner’s R50 Zero Pressure Accumulation Control Module. This control module is compatible with any conveyor zone drive such as a motor roller, gear motor, air clutch, and other types that use 24 V DC discrete signals to start and stop the conveyor zone.
The plug-and-play design requires no configuration and is ready to run right away, saving time during commissioning.
New First IO-Link Safety Interlock with TÜV SÜD Certification
Fortress has become the first interlock manufacturer to receive the IO-Link Safety conformance certification from TÜV SÜD, as well as functional safety certification.
This milestone marks the successful integration of IO-Link Safety into their tGard product range, offering a new level of flexibility in safety data communication and industrial connectivity.
Lenze's new Motor Drive System IE5/IE6 is a synchronous motor that is as easy to use as an asynchronous motor. The permanent magnet inside is intelligently designed to achieve high levels of efficiency and falls into the top energy efficiency classes IE5 and IE6.
✅ 300% overload torque accelerates the motor from standstill to full load ✅ Motor losses reduced by up to 60% ✅ Hardware costs reduced 20-50% compared to conventional solutions
New Power supply with integrated device protection
Phoenix Contact’s latest TRIO POWER supply is more than just a power source, it has a complete protection and connectivity solution for modern automation.
Designed for space-saving installation and robust performance, this unit integrates multi-channel electronic protection and IO-Link communication, making it ideal for Industry 4.0 environments.
Consider streamlining this integration with a PLCnext and take advantage of the Trio3 Function Block Library created by Phoenix Contact for the PLCnext Engineer.
Coming Soon Vision system commissioning in hours (not weeks)
ABB Robotics has invested in LandingAI to accelerate the transformation of vision AI, making it faster, more intuitive, and accessible to a broader range of users. This first of its kind collaboration will integrate LandingAI’s vision AI capabilities, like LandingLens, into ABB Robotics’ own software suite, marking another milestone in ABB’s journey towards truly autonomous and versatile robots.
Turck now provides a complete and modular power connection system with the addition of 3- or 4-pin A-Size Powerfast Tees. The Tees come with both integral connector and cabled extension offerings to be able to fit into any application.
✅ Ideal for use in motors, material handling and conveying applications ✅ Customizable power connector option with integral connectors stemming from tee mold body ✅ Cabled extensions in both tee and small-h style splitters coming soon
Nidec has released a major upgrade to their Connect commissioning tool for all Control Techniques brand AC/Servo Drives, making drive setup faster, simpler, and more intuitive than ever.
✅ Auto-discovery via Ethernet, Serial, or Bluetooth ✅ Real-time tuning with integrated scope and motion ✅ Seamless PLC integration and built-in self-diagnostics
