ABB, a leader in power and productivity, has unveiled its latest solutions to improve electromagnetic compatibility

A topic that is more important than ever before. The amount of electrical and electronic components in the control equipment of machines is continuously increasing while, at the same time, the available space is becoming less and less.

World's first cable for hanging applications suitable for SEW-EURODRIVE

igus chainflex CFSPECIAL.192 hybrid cable for hanging travels of up to 50 metres. Machines have to work reliably around the clock in such areas as material handling. Warehouses are getting bigger, and increasing mast heights mean high demands on the cables.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

In practice, it is not easy to cost-effectively produce clearance-free multi-link hinges for spoiler kinematics and soft-top and hinge systems. Frequently only roughly punched holes with a limited amount of fine cuts in the guides combined with cold extrusion rivets require costly bearing recalibration. With its plain bearings made of tribologically optimised plastics, such as the new electrically conductive iglidur F300 material, igus offers a technically better solution that costs less. In the e-coating process, the bearing recalibrates itself and also prevents corrosion.
