Precision, Performance and Usability in One
wenglor group Presents New Laser Distance Sensors Triangulation

This is CMOS power reimagined: The innovative triangulation laser distance sensors
from the P3 series provide precise measurement results at distances of up to 1,000 mm –  accurate to a few microns. It’s not just the high accuracy that’s world-class, but also the intuitive operation concept, the high-quality aluminum housing and the built-in TripleA technology that gives the P3 series the status of gamechanger for triangulation sensors in industrial automation. A look inside the extensive 32 sensor series reveals why.

Safety engineering specialist Euchner has modernized the lighting system for its two-storey logistics building in Leinfelden near Stuttgart.

Euchner’s corporate philosophy covers everything from protecting the environment and handling natural resources with consideration to reducing energy consumption and using low-pollutant materials. This enabled the company to cut energy consumption by nearly half and save 10.2 metric tons of CO₂.

Specialists in harsh and demanding industrial environments: Type 2K photoelectronic sensors are the latest additions to the PNG//smart product series. Thanks to their robust stainless steel 316L housing with IP69K protection, they can withstand intensive high-pressure cleaning up to 100 bar at temperatures up to 80 °C, aggressive cleaning agents, coolants and lubricants, as well as mechanical influences and corrosion.

Smart safety solutions to meet individual customers’ requirements

Digitalisation is spreading fast in the production and process industry. Safety engineering solutions from Euchner with communication and networking capabilities are helping businesses to shape this transformation. These include new features for the highly versatile MGB2 Modular safety door system, which is now available with a new bus module for connection to the EtherCAT/FSoE bus protocol.

igus presents FastLine service with online configurator for developers in the automotive supply industry.

Roller chain links reduce drive energy for the E4.1 energy chain series by 37%

Good news for users of the igus E4.1 energy chain series: newly developed roller chain links reduce required drive power by 37%. This allows customers to reduce their electricity costs in times of sharply rising energy prices.

Equip energy chains directly with smart condition monitoring in the igus online configurator and avoid unnecessarily early replacement.

From the research stage to practical architectural application, this is the first time that a large-scale architecture project has been implemented using ABB robots and PMA cable protection products.

Hygienically designed slewing ring bearings have been scarce on the market. Manufacturers of special machines for hygiene-sensitive areas therefore often have to design additional covers. However, igus is now changing all that - with a hygienically designed iglidur PRT slewing ring bearing that enables quick, residue-free cleaning during use. This slewing ring bearing can remain permanently installed in an application with food contact, saving the user the effort of developing a suitable cover.

From idea to integration: broad partner network supports customers with their Low Cost Automation

igus is working with manufacturers and integrators to further expand its service and range for cost-effective automation.
