Unitronics' NEW Vision 350: Their Smallest Integrated PLC/HMI

This palm-size PLC offers exceptional capabilities and diverse I/O options. Its 3.5” TFT touchscreen can show over 1000 displays, with 3.5MB for images and fonts. The Vision350™ supports up to 166 I/Os via on-board and I/O expansion modules. It offers Ethernet and CAN-bus communucations options, as well as GSM/SMS/GPRS and SD-card datalogging.

The Vision PLC/Graphic HMI series introduces an unbeatable price-performance ratio, enabling users to enjoy the advanced features of both the operator panel and the PLC, while maintaining low budget, reduced programming time and minimum wiring. Request a quote

Need a Short Proximity Sensor for a Tight Fit?

Omron's E2E Proximity Sensors are the ideal solution for applications with space limitations. Available in M5, M8, M12, M18 and M30 sizes, they are 33% shorter than standard long-barrel models. Sheilded and unshielded, DC 2-wire, 3-wire and AC 2-wire versions are available. IP67 washdown rated. Pre-wired or connector type. Request a quote

Moxa's NEW Entry-Level EDS-200A
Industrial Ethernet Unmanaged Switch

We are pleased to announce that the EDS-200A has begun shipping. The EDS-200A series of entry-level, industrial, 5- and 8-port unmanaged Ethernet switches have a slim form factor with aluminum housing for ultra space savings and efficient heat dissipation.

The switches support dual AC/DC power inputs that can operate at the wide power range of 12/24/48 VDC to maximize application flexibility.  Additional features such as DIP switches for controlling broadcast storm protection, a -10 to 60°C operating temperature range, and IP30-rated housing will add value to your applications with no additional cost.

Galil's NEW Pocket PLC

Smart, Compact, Low-Cost and Packed with I/O.  The RIO-471x0 is a compact PLC with Ethernet that is smart, easy-to-use and cost-effective. The RIO contains a fast RISC processor for handling I/O logic and is programmed using Galil's intuitive command language or using Galil's Ladder Interface software.

Each RIO unit is self-contained with numerous analog and digital I/O including: 8 analog inputs, 8 analog outputs, 16 optically isolated inputs, 8 high-power isolated outputs and 8 low-power isolated outputs. The RIO-47100 provides 0-5V analog I/O and the RIO-47120 provides configurable +/-10V, +/-5V, 0-5V, or 0-10V analog I/O. Multiple RIO units can be distributed on an Ethernet network allowing I/O expansion. It can also easily communicate with other devices including Galil's DMC-40x0 Ethernet motion controllers.

Animatics' NEW Harmonic Linear Drive

The Harmonic Linear Drive™ (HLD) is an innovative linear belt drive solution providing high accuracy and low cost without the need for a gearhead or brake! Instead of using a fixed belt to move the load, the HLD uses a recirculating belt, folded back upon itself and routed over subtly different diameter pulleys yielding gear reduction by way of the Harmonic Drive Principle, without the cost or backlash of a separate gearhead. This technique is so revolutionary that it has patents applied for in more than 30 countries.

The system also has a low price-to-performance ratio. It is priced to attract large-quantity OEM buyers as well as the smaller cost conscious System Integrators and stands to be the most cost-effective alternative to mid- to long-stroke ball screw actuators available. Request a quote

From WAGO:
Compact and Cost-Effective Power Measurement in the PLC or Distributed I/O Node

Implementing power measurement initiatives as part of your machine, process, or building has always been expensive and time consuming. Typical implementations include a stand-alone system costing thousands of dollars, as well as additional networking to the existing control system (PLC or PC), separate power feeds and mounting requirements.

Understanding this dilemma, as well as the need to implement power measurement to help reduce business costs, WAGO developed the 750-493 Series 3-Phase Power Measurement Module for the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM. Being 100% compatible with all WAGO bus-couplers (except ECO), controllers, and I/O modules, the 750-493 offers the ability to implement power measurement directly in the PLC or distributed I/O node. The resulting system is a cost effective power measurement system that can be networked to more than 16 industrial protocols, including Ethernet, Profibus, Modbus, and DeviceNet. Request a quote

Nippon Pulse America's SCR100 High-Precision Cross Roller Linear Stage

Nippon Pulse America introduces their new SCR100 stage. The SCR100 stage is an ultra high precision, compact single axis stage that integrates a slide guide, encoder, and Linear Shaft Motor. The SCR100 stage offers a wide range of advantages for ultra high performance and accuracy applications. The Linear Shaft Motor is a coreless direct drive linear motor, which has zero cogging. This allows for higher resolution, speed, and continuous force than standard stepper motors and piezo servomotors.

The Nippon Pulse Linear Shaft Motor has gained a reputation of servicing the very demanding, ultra high precision motion control applications in a number of markets. Those markets include meteorology, disk drive, semiconductor fabrication, biomedical, pharmaceutical, life sciences, medical device, stent fabrication, National Laboratories, photonics/telecom, aerospace and defense.

Generators for Renewable Energy Production

Sicme Motori have developed specific multi-polar synchronous generators for renewable energy production using state-of-the-art technology of Permanent Magnets. These generators can be profitably utilized on wind generators, sea plants (energy from waves, stream, tidal), and hydroelectric plants.

Sicme Motori's electric generators for renewable energy plants have been designed with the support of the Institute of Electrical Engineers of the Turin, Italy Polytechnic with the utilization of the most modern calculation software (FEM), to guarantee high efficiency at all rotation speeds, thus increasing the production of energy and reducing ROI.
