The R58A Series registration mark sensors from Banner Engineering are designed for detecting registration marks in printing and material registration applications often found in the web printing, product packaging and pharmaceutical industries.
Electric linear actuator
10 November, 2009 | Supplied by: Pneumatic Products
The integrated-motor actuator (IMA) from Tolomatic combines a servomotor with Tolomatic’s rod-style actuator in a compact package. The IMA’s integrated design provides higher dynamic performance by eliminating the need for separate motors, couplers, motor mounts, gearing and belts. The result is reduced component costs, assembly time and failure points.
Gantry-mounted robot
10 November, 2009 | Supplied by: ABB Australia Pty Ltd
ABB has launched its first robot combining the advantages of an articulated robot and a linear gantry for improved flexibility and cycle times.
Non-contact torque sensor
10 November, 2009 | Supplied by: Metromatics Pty Ltd
Futek Advanced Sensor Technology has introduced an internally amplified rotary torque sensor. The sensor is a non-contact (slip-ring-free) rotary torque sensor, using inductance for power and output signals, and has a compact design and supports rotational speeds of up to 7000 rpm.
Controllers with long-life contacts
10 November, 2009 | Supplied by: Cynebar
Watlow has developed its No-Arc technology that extends the life of relays. A No-Arc relay is a mechanical relay with arc suppression provided through the use of smart electronics. This technology reduces the amount of arcing across the relay contacts and has a life of more than four million cycles compared to relays without arc suppression that have a life of approximately 100,000 operations.
Magnetic linear encoders
10 November, 2009 | Supplied by: Turck Australia Pty Ltd
Turck has introduced a line of Kübler robust magnetic linear encoders. Utilising A and B output voltage channels plus a periodic index with the corresponding inverted channels, these encoders are designed to achieve high accuracy in a broad range of linear motion applications. The T8.LI20 and T8.LI50 linear encoders are available with either a push-pull output or an RS422 interface and provide a voltage range from 4.8 to 30 VDC.
Servo drive with advanced safety
10 November, 2009 | Supplied by: Rockwell Automation Australia
The Allen-Bradley Kinetix 6200 servo drive has advanced safety features that are designed to help manufacturers protect personnel and improve production efficiency.
Compact robot
26 October, 2009 | Supplied by: ABB Australia Pty Ltd
ABB has launched its smallest ever multipurpose industrial robot, the compact and lightweight six-axis IRB 120. Available with a new compact version of the IRC5 controller, the robot weighs just 25 kg and can handle a payload of 3 kg (or 4 kg with a vertical wrist) with a reach of 580 mm.
Linear servomotors
26 October, 2009 | Supplied by: Rockwell Automation Australia
The Allen-Bradley LDC-Series and LDL-Series of linear servomotors are designed to provide machine builders with precise, reliable linear motion capabilities at a cost-effective pricepoint. With no ‘wear items’, such as bearings, gears and belts, that routinely need to be maintained or replaced, theses linear motors are claimed to feature improved reliability over other linear actuation methods.
Washdown vision sensor
26 October, 2009 | Supplied by: Micromax Pty Ltd
Banner Engineering has introduced the PresencePlus P4 IP68-rated, sealed Omni vision sensor. Featuring a compact, durable, nickel-plated, aluminium housing, the P4 Sealed Omni vision sensor is designed to withstand washdown conditions, as well as dust and debris common in harsh-duty environments with the use of an integrated ring light or lens cover.
Profile scanners
26 October, 2009 | Supplied by: Bestech Australia Pty Ltd
The profile scanners of the scanControl 2700 and 2710 series from Micro-Epsilon are now also available with a measuring range of 50 mm, adding to the previous measuring ranges of 25 and 100 mm.
Volumetric flow sensor
26 October, 2009 | Supplied by: ifm efector pty ltd
Designed for the food and machine tool industries, the SQ volumetric flow sensor from ifm is designed for low volumetric flow quantities. It has been designed for dosing of water and aqueous solutions up to 200 mL/min. Flow and temperature are measured at the same time and can be supplied as either a switched or analog output.
