Applied Measurement linear position sensor
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: Applied Measurement Australia
The LCIT series is based on a patented linear position sensor design that features all of the benefits of current LVDT (linear variable differential transformer) inductive technology, but at a significantly lower cost.
Air gap sensor
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: Festo Pty Ltd
The Sopa air gap sensor is designed to be used in tooling applications to make sure that a part is seated properly in a jig before it is machined, welded or assembled. It is able to measure gaps of between 20 and 200 micron. The Sopa air gap sensor is precise enough to detect if a work piece is obstructed by a human hair.
Brushless DC servomotor
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: ERNTEC Pty Ltd
The Faulhaber Series 2057 motor is fitted with a high-energy rare earth magnet which results in a very responsive mechanical time constant of only 8 ms. The skew winding in combination with the laminated stator also provides good heat dissipation and high overload capability.
Miniature stepper motor
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: ERNTEC Pty Ltd
With an outer diameter of 6 mm, a length of 9.3 mm and weighing 1.4 g, the ADM 0620 is claimed to be the smallest two-phase miniature stepper motor in the world.
Angular position sensor
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: Automated Control Pty Ltd
ASM has introduced the POSIROT PRAS3, a magnetic angular position sensor in a compact 36 mm diameter housing. The active sensor element uses an internal, contact-free permanent magnet to determine the angular position. The measurement ranges are available in 15° increments: 0-15, 0-30, 0-45 up to 0-360°. The servo flange mounting ensures quick and easy installation for the PRAS3 series.
Solar cell production robot

ABB has announced a standard compact solution for solar cell manufacturing plants — the FlexPicker-System Solar. The standardised robotic cell was specially designed for loading, unloading and handling processes in automated production lines for solar cells.
Vacuum silencers
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: PIAB Vacuum Technologies
The Mini and Midi Coax silencers have been developed by Piab so that users can enjoy a lower sound level when using the Coax cartridges for direct integration or when using them on the Vacuum Gripper Systems VGS or the pump unit PMAT/Vactrap platforms.
Water sensors
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: Micromax Pty Ltd
Banner Engineering World-Beam QS30H2O opposed mode water sensors provide a solution for efficiently detecting water-based liquids in clear, frosted, coloured or even partially opaque bottles or containers.
Synchronous servomotors
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: M Rutty & Co Pty Ltd
Mavilor’s BL Series is a synchronous electrical servomotor, with three winding phases, supplied with sinusoidal or trapezoidal current wave forms.
Clean room robot
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: ABB Australia Pty Ltd
ABB has upgraded its IRB 6640 robot to create a ‘clean room’ version. Working in close cooperation with strategic partners from the photovoltaic industry, the project was undertaken in response to the strict specifications for thin film production processes used in solar module manufacturing, where cleanliness is a critical factor.
Self-contained through-beam sensors
25 August, 2008 | Supplied by: Balluff Pty Ltd
When they first arrived on the scene, photoelectric sensors debuted as through-beam devices using lights and reflectors. Over the years, they’ve blossomed into full lines of specialised designs, each excelling at a certain job.
Vision-guided keg depalletising
25 August, 2008 | Supplied by: ControlVision Ltd
Canterbury Breweries supplies draft beer in kegs to many of New Zealand’s South Island drinking establishments. These kegs come in 25 or 50 kg sizes and are recycled through a system that sees full kegs leaving the brewery on wooden pallets and empty kegs returning from the pubs and restaurants on the same pallets.
PLC
08 August, 2008 | Supplied by: Eaton Electrical (Australia) Pty Ltd
Using the latest technology, the Eaton Logic Controller (ELC) is a reduced sized PLC with many module selections, providing only what you want for the price you desire.
Quadrature encoder and counter module
08 August, 2008 | Supplied by: Advantech Australia Pty Ltd
The ADAM-5081 is a high-speed quadrature encoder and counter module for use with the ADAM-5550 series programmable automation controllers (PACs) form Advantech. The ADAM-5081 has a high isolation of 2500 VDC, a high-speed frequency mode (5 Hz–1 MHz), and a counter code at 1 MHz.
Motor monitoring relays
08 August, 2008 | Supplied by: Pilz Australia Industrial Automation LP
The PMDsigma electronic monitoring relays monitor values such as voltage, current, temperature or phase sequence. The first unit in the range monitors true power. This provides an early warning system for hazardous plant conditions, with no requirement for additional sensors.
