As part of its ‘Boundless Automation’ vision for helping organisations deliver more seamless operations, Emerson is evolving its DeltaV brand into the DeltaV Automation Platform.

SICK has enabled its smallest safety laser scanner, the nanoScan3, with its Safe EFI-Pro standard industrial Ethernet-based safe networking capability. Using the SICK nanoScan3 EFI-Pro, machine builders can more easily design responsive and productive autonomous vehicles and stationary robots through safe integration over industrial networks.

In response to rising pressures on the healthcare sector, a new Government initiative seeks to allow UK patients faster access to innovative medical devices. Essential to many MedTech devices lies an electronic drive system, but how can we ensure it’s up to scratch? Here, Dave Walsha, sales manager at drive system supplier EMS explores.

METCASE’s stylish MINIMET aluminium enclosures for compact desktop and portable electronics are now available in custom widths and depths, as well as with all the additional modifications the customer may need.

When selecting an in-process system for measuring the thickness of film, plate or sheet materials, a number of challenges need to be considered, including sensor alignment, linearity and the effects of thermal changes, says Glenn Wedgbrow, business development manager at Micro-Epsilon UK.

Master Bond EP29LPSPND-3 is a two component, non-drip epoxy compound with a paste consistency that can be used for bonding and sealing applications. The system is electrically non-conductive and thermally insulative, with a thermal conductivity of approximately 0.2 W/(m K) at room temperature.

The COMBIVERT F6 and S6 drive controllers from KEB Automation are now available with new firmware that includes a special highlight: CAN cross-communication. This means that plant and machine builders using the corresponding drives benefit from faster and more flexible communication between the inverters. Users can also utilise all process data-capable parameters.

mbo Osswald says it is setting new standards in the world of linking technology with its latest online tool, the sleeves configurator. This tool was developed to design individual parts precisely and in line with requirements and is suitable for use in very many different industry applications.

The new multi-purpose ICAM-B charge amplifier from Kistler is an extremely versatile device thanks to its combination of proven analogue signal routing and integrated digital data transmission. These advantages make it ideal for use with piezoelectric sensors in almost any application.

As the world continues to decarbonise industries and infrastructure, the good news is that the technology needed to significantly reduce energy consumption is already available today, as Stephen Hayes, managing director of Beckhoff UK, explains.
