The Vision Assistant software package from ifm electronic, which provides a convenient yet flexible way of capturing images from vision sensors in machine and process applications without specialist knowledge, has been augmented by the release of a new monitoring tool add-on.
Schneider Electric has launched the Lexium Cobot. This collaborative machine features next-generation automation and advanced industrial robotics technology, designed to work closely alongside humans to perform gentle and diligent movements.
Test passes with flying colours: igus’s E6.29 energy chain receives innovative dry cleanroom certificate from research consultancy Fraunhofer IPA for ISO Class 4.
Outdoor applications, such as agricultural machinery or process plants, require highly robust connection technology that can withstand extreme conditions, such as submersion and high-pressure cleaning. HECs from binder are also resistant to chemicals, corrosion and UV light.
Effective monitoring of slow-speed rotating industrial applications, such as wind power generation, is a critical requirement, especially given the continued expansion of ‘greener energy’ alternatives.
