Omron has announced the launch of the new MicroHAWK F440-F Smart Camera. This highly configurable smart camera with a 35 frame-per-second 5-megapixel monochrome global shutter sensor brings exceptional performance to virtually any machine vision application.

In a smart move, HBK miniature force sensors U9C (tension and compression) and C9C (compression) have gone digital and now feature IO-Link communication technology, leading to reduced costs, greater efficiency, and increased reliability.

There has been considerable growth in the wind power industry over the past few years. However, further exponential growth of the industry is required in order to ensure that the net-zero by 2050 pathway reached. In order to support this seismic growth, polymeric repair and protection technology has an important part to play, as the experts at Belzona explain.

Ruland beam couplings are ideal for surgical, warehouse, and industrial robotics due to their increased torque and torsional stiffness and ability to accommodate all forms of misalignment.

Edge Computing platforms enable easy scalability, allowing you to start with a small HMI/SCADA solution (single node) and add more (multiple nodes in multiple locations) as your needs grow. The experts at Stratus Technologies explain more.

Phoenix Contact is extending its portfolio of I/O systems for control-cabinet-free automation with the new generation of Axioline E communication modules. The devices satisfy both the current and future requirements for field installation.

A new encoderless, field-oriented control method (vector control) from KEB Automation provides users (maximum torque per ampere) with control over the entire speed range. This benefits servo drives for positioning applications, for example, where high concentricity is required even at the lowest speeds.

Crane tasks require special drives: Loads must be safely lifted, precisely positioned and gently set down, also with simultaneous movements of cranes and trolleys. Nord Drivesystems has the right drive solutions for this.

Metcase’s premium TECHNOMET desktop/portable instrument enclosures can now be specified with or without a sloping front for easier viewing.

Review Display Systems (RDS) has announced the introduction of a new ATX motherboard from leading embedded computing solutions supplier Aaeon. The high-performance ATX-Q670A supports 12th Generation Intel Core LGA1700 Socket Processors and is Aaeon’s first ATX motherboard to offer DDR5 DRAM memory support.
