Where an EOL-packaging, distribution, or other similar application requires powerful all-round high-performance palletising robots, the MOTOMAN PL series from Yaskawa offer excellent speed-payload combinations, stacking heights and simple installation.

Following the completion of performance evaluations, NSK can now offer a broader range of anti-electrical-erosion technologies for eAxle bearings used on electric vehicles (EVs).

With a view to its ambitious sustainability targets and the rapidly increasing demands of the market, the KABELSCHLEPP Metool is increasing its development work regarding sustainable products, production methods, and marketing activities.

Thomson Industries has introduced a video highlighting its Electrak XD actuator. The video illustrates how the XD has ushered in the next evolution of electric actuators with strength to take on traditionally hydraulic applications while, at the same time, being smarter, smaller and more efficient than competitive technologies.

Recently announced by Applied Motion Products (AMP) and available in the UK and Europe with full support from Mclennan, a new range of 48 VDC brushless DC servo motors with durable 16-bit magnetic encoders and compatible high-current single/dual axis drives are aimed at AGV and AMR applications.

Motion Control Products is claiming an industry-first innovation with the MMF3 series magnetic-free track linear motors and linear modules. The modules incorporate a patented magnetic field modulation technology, eliminating the need for traditional magnets in the linear track.

Contrinex’s patented UV-light-based transparent-object-detection sensors provide consistent sensing across targets, even thin and transparent films. They have proven their worth for a company manufacturing high-volume blister packs.

To support the integration of battery energy storage systems (BESS) onto energy grids, automation software developer COPA-DATA has engineered its software platform zenon for use in BESS applications.

ABB has launched CoriolisMaster and ProcessMaster flowmeters that can be powered over the same ethernet cable used for data transmission, eliminating the need for separate cabling. The new feature reduces installation time and cost, and increases the speed and reliability of data transmission.

Martin Gadsby, VP at Optimal Industrial Technologies, looks at how to automate analytical laboratories to improve pharmaceutical operations.
