Micro-Epsilon has extended its surfaceCONTROL range of high precision 3D snapshot measurement sensors for automated, inline measurement of geometry, shape and surface quality of objects. The surfaceCONTROL SC3xx0-30 offers a smaller measuring field of 30 mm x 18 mm with Z range of 12 mm. The sensor delivers the measurement results at a z-axis distance of between 124 and 136 mm.

Push-in contact inserts for HEAVYCON modular heavy-duty connectors from Phoenix Contact allow easy and tool-free conductor connections. The new contact inserts for high-current applications reliably transmit currents up to 100 A.

The medical technology landscape is ever-evolving, and 3D-Circuits are at the forefront of this change. HARTING's 3D-Circuit technology offers the potential to revolutionise wearable medical devices, making them smaller, smarter, and more comfortable for patients.

For applications where compact DC motors are mission critical, from space missions to medical surgery, engineers specify designs for their precision and durability. But even when the stakes aren't as high, premium motor technology can increase application performance and prove more cost-effective long term. Tamas Hertelendi, maxon UK and Ireland's engineering lead for Southern England, explains.

Beckhoff has introduced TcRobot, a generic software library providing robot functionality to PLC users. It simplifies integration of any robotic arm into the Beckhoff ecosystem by providing a common set of functionalities to PLC developers which decreases integration time of new robotic arms.

Starting from its humble beginnings as the industry's first BAR contactor in 1924, the TeSys motor control device range demonstrates a legacy of innovation with lasting impact upon industrial operations.

The proven MACX Analog signal conditioner family with intrinsically safe explosion protection and functional safety from Phoenix Contact has been extended to include a number of product versions and has undergone a technological upgrade. The products can easily be combined with the 6.2 mm signal conditioners and measuring transducers from the MINI Analog Pro series.

SCHURTER launches a new 3-phase filter series for DIN rail mounting, the FRAC RAIL. Thanks to the slim housing (44 mm), it takes up very little space on the mounting rail in the control cabinet. The single-stage filter is available with standard or high attenuation. A metal base plate ensures an excellent ground connection to the rail.
