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.
Oil analysis sensor
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: SEW-Eurodrive Pty Ltd
The DUO10A oil analysis sensor is designed to aid the prevention of unplanned gear-unit downtime. It allows the early detection of gear-unit oil deterioration and can prevent eventual gear-unit damage or failure, making it a key element of any effective predictive maintenance program.
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.
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.
Draw wire position transducers
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: Applied Measurement Australia
WayCon Positionsmesstechnik is a manufacturer of draw wire position transducers for industrial use. Due to its small overall size, short assembly time and possible customisation, the SX sensor technology is a cost-effective and flexible solution for a wide range of industrial applications.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Fastening tool controller
08 August, 2008 | Supplied by: Hawker Richardson
Stanley Assembly Technologies has introduced the QA Alpha controller for DC electric fastening. The controller has enhanced process capabilities and easy-to-use Embedded Toolbox software. It is also compatible with the full range of Stanley QPM DC electric tools, from 0.6 to 2000 Nm and higher.
