In this video the Igus TX2 bearing is introduced. This fibre wound plain bearing offers additional benefits to moulding, increasing its strength even further.

Machine vision inspections using visual cameras can occasionally cause recognition problems if the product and background have too little colour contrast. In such cases, thermal imaging cameras can be a practical solution – especially if the product has a different temperature than the transport medium, say the experts at Teledyne Flir.

The adoption of collaborative robots, across multiple sectors, continues at a pace as increasing numbers of manufacturers realise the potential these robots have to provide a cost effective and productive solution to a wide range of applications. And gripper technology from Schmalz is supporting this growth.

ABB Robotics has enhanced its logistics automation portfolio with the launch of the Robotic Item Picker – a new AI and vision-based solution that can accurately detect and pick items in unstructured environments in warehouses and fulfilment centres.

Emka has announced a significant new addition to its 2225 locking program coming out of customer feedback and engineering developments. The 2225 program is a flexible lock design now available in a miniature format which offers IP66 sealing.

From precise torque transmission, vibration damping and motion control, couplings from Norelem can be used in various applications and are readily available in different designs. The full range includes metal bellows couplings, elastomer dog couplings, beam couplings, Oldham-type couplings and rigid couplings.

Review Display Systems (RDS) has announced the availability of a new fully integrated 4.1-inch TFT display module. The DWIN DMG72720T041-06WTC features an IPS (in-plane switching) TFT display with a built-in dual-core microcontroller-based ASIC, a touch controller and a fully integrated InCell capacitive touch panel.

Yaskawa has introduced a compact range of regenerative drives which it says are ideally suited to the ever-increasing demands to achieve ‘greener, energy efficient’ in manufacturing processes. The range includes the U1000 Low Harmonics Regenerative Matrix Converter, the D1000 Regenerative Converter Unit and the R1000 Regenerative Unit.

Rolec has added more components to its taraSMART (IP 54) range of modular suspension arms. Users can now configure their perfect support arm from a choice of 22 different components.
