Industrial Video Encoder
20 March, 2007 | Supplied by: http://www.crisptech.com.au/
The VPort 351 series was designed to meet customer demands for a higher resolution, higher frame rate video networking solution. This 1-channel industrial video server will be available in early March from CrispTech.
Smart cameras
20 March, 2007 | Supplied by: SICK Pty Ltd
The IVC-3D 30 smart camera has been specially designed to view small and miniature parts, while the IVC-3D 300 focuses on large objects such as loaded pallets - thus, they are suitable, for example, as sensors for the visual guidance of robots. Like all the other IVC-3D systems, the new versions also leave the factory already calibrated. These smart cameras are also quickly ready for operation as data output takes place in mm.

The Minicap capacitance sensors are commonly used in the dust environment of the grain handling industry. Applications include level control and conveyor speed detection.
Dual-receiver sensors
06 December, 2006 | Supplied by: Rockwell Automation Australia
The 44B photoelectric sensor incorporates adjustable background or foreground suppression. The sensor is designed for industrial applications requiring reliable detection of targets close to a surface - such as a conveyor - that must be ignored by the sensor.
Smart positioner
06 December, 2006 | Supplied by: http://www.acrodyne.com.au/
The YT-2350 smart electro pneumatic positioner is housed in a Stainless Steel 316 IP66 enclosure and fits well in areas of high corrosion. It is available in both rotary and linear design. Incorporated in the design is an easy-to-see LCD offering logical auto calibration and parameter setup. The option of HART communication and 4-20 mA feedback signal are available in both the linear and rotary designs.
Agile spot welder
06 December, 2006 | Supplied by: ABB Australia Pty Ltd
The IRB 6620 is a compact spot welding robot that can be mounted floor standing, inverted and in tilted positions. The low total weight of the robot (900 kg) makes it easy to install and handle without the need for heavy-lifting cranes. The low weight also means it can be put on top of a machine.
Transformer isolation and noise reduction
15 November, 2006 | Supplied by: Systems 22 Pty Ltd
The SNAP-AITM-8 provides eight channels of thermocouple or millivolt input. Each channel can be individually configured to accept a type B, C, D, E, G, J, K, N, R, S, or T thermocouple or a -75 to + 75 mV, -50 to +50 mV, or -25 to +25 mV input.
Sensor Smarts
06 October, 2006 by Brian Betts, Data Acquisition Group Mgr, National Instruments
A new standard for analog sensors, the most common kind in use today, should make the problems of miscalibration a thing of the past
Factory automation vision appliance
