PULS announces the introduction of the PLANET product family - a new generation of industrial power supplies that combine high efficiency, reliability and compact size.

The latest addition to the extensive, award-winning range of Baumer sensors is the NexSonic UF300, an ultra-compact 18mm flat ultrasonic sensor with a 3-meter sensing range and ideally suited to intralogistics applications.

With the decentralised NORDAC LINK and NORDAC FLEX frequency inverters from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS, users have the opportunity of equipping their existing ASi system with state-of-the-art technology.

In data centres, reliability issues stemming from insufficient mechanical tolerances at the connection points of liquid cooling systems are becoming a critical bottleneck for energy efficiency upgrades and stable operation. Southco recognises the severity of this challenge and is committed to providing breakthrough solutions.

In an ideal world, every component in a machine or system would be specified by a knowledgeable engineer, in consultation with a product specialist, and installed exactly as intended. In reality, pressures on time and budget can result in design engineers sourcing safety components from online catalogues, only to realise too late that the product was a poor fit. Blake Shields of Tapeswitch explains how consultation at the outset can provide the best outcome.

OKW's ROBUST-BOX (IP 66) plastic enclosures for industrial electronics are now available in tough polycarbonate (PC) as standard, complementing the existing ABS version.

Whether integrated into hospital sterilisation equipment, spray disinfection systems, automated dosing units, or pharmaceutical CIP/SIP installations, NSF-Approved 800 Series flowmeters from Titan Enterprises help maintain high hygiene standards while improving operational efficiency.

Across motion control applications, encoders are a common choice to provide feedback over position, direction, and speed. A key aspect of their specification is the selection of an incremental or an absolute encoder type. This decision directly affects system performance, determining whether the controller can rely on relative motion tracking, or if immediate knowledge of absolute position is required. Gerard Bush, engineer at motion specialist INMOCO, explains.

Micro-Epsilon has extended its range of confocal chromatic distance and thickness measurement sensors with a new High Temperature (HT) series of sensors that withstand operating temperatures up to 200 degC and are suitable for use in ultra-high vacuums and clean rooms.
