High quality combined with high availability for Powell lenses

High quality combined with high availability for Powell lenses

In addition to its laser modules, the Laser Components now also offers Powell lenses produced in house. These components are required to shape the laser light into perfect lines with homogeneous intensity distribution. The company says that its in-house manufacturing ensures that high availability can be guaranteed at all times.

Update makes 2D/3D profile sensors smart

Update makes 2D/3D profile sensors smart

While in the past an external analysis module had to be used to evaluate 2D/3D profile recordings, Wenglor Sensoric’s smart 2D/3D profile sensors now combine sensor and analysis module directly in the compact housing thanks to uniVision 2.4. New overlays also provide even more user comfort and high-resolution digital cameras with 12 MP offer an even greater choice in the configuration of vision systems.

Finding data has never been easier

Finding data has never been easier

Selecting appropriate product data in engineering is often time consuming. However, the new Eplan Data Portal, with a new user interface and improved search algorithms, makes it easier and faster than ever before. Expanded search parameters mean that users can quickly find exactly the components they are looking for. Individualised solutions based on configurators can be intuitively generated.
