DC motor motion controllers

05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: ERNTEC Pty Ltd

The configuration of the electronics in these Faulhaber motion controllers is based on a digital signal processor (DSP), which enables a high performance as well as precise positioning and low speeds. The high degree of efficiency permits a continuous output current of up to 6 A.


Solar cell production robot

05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: ABB Australia Pty Ltd

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.


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.


AC servomotors

05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: M Rutty & Co Pty Ltd

The short mechanical time constant of the Mavolor MA Series AC servomotors makes them suitable for control operations, while an extremely short electrical time constant provides high peak torque at high speed. A high ‘theoretical’ acceleration also gives an extremely fast response time.


Inclinometer

05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: Automated Control Pty Ltd

ASM has introduced the PTAS2 inclinometer series with ranges from ±15 to ±180° in a robust, IP68-rated stainless steel housing. This sensor has been tested to withstand harsh conditions, which makes it suitable for a wide range of applications such as factory automation machines and robotics, mobile cranes, draw bridges, adjustable platforms and off-highway construction equipment.


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.


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.


Hall sensor amplifier

05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: M Rutty & Co Pty Ltd

With fully programmable features, this hall sensor amplifier is specifically engineered to optimise the performance of Portescap’s brushless motors in applications where efficiency, high acceleration or safety are of primary significance. All inputs and outputs are clearly identified to facilitate easy startup in less than 10 mins.


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.


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.


Compact I/O modules

08 August, 2008 | Supplied by: Rockwell Automation Australia

High-density Allen-Bradley Compact I/O modules are now available from Rockwell Automation. The additions to the Allen-Bradley Compact I/O range include new high-performance analog, digital and ASCII modules that accommodate a range of applications while conserving panel space.


Microwave beam blockage detector

08 August, 2008 | Supplied by: Hawk Measurement Systems Pty Ltd

Hawk has announced a microwave beam blockage detector. The system uses microwave energy to detect blockage of the path between a sender and receiver. The system is suitable for high-reliability blocked chute detection in bulk material conveying and transfer systems, solving the costly problems of false tripping and failure to respond, which can occur with traditional tilt switch types.


Vacuum switches

08 August, 2008 | Supplied by: PIAB Vacuum Technologies

The VS4128 and VS4118 mini vacuum switches have been developed for industries and applications with high demands on durability, such as automotive body-in-white assembly. These aluminium switches are part of Piab’s program of vacuum pumps for decentralised systems. They are preset switches with digital output and built-in LED that indicates status.


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.
