WEG has announced the launch of its latest PLC - the PLC500 series. Designed to meet the growing demands of Industry 4.0, the PLC500 offers high performance, flexible programming and robust connectivity.

Chips are produced wherever there is milling, turning or grinding. And that is exactly where the TKA series from KABELSCHLEPP Metool is a perfect solution. The cable carriers made from solid plastic feature a particularly dirt-repellent smooth surface, and excellent tightness even in the connection areas.

At the Smart Production Systems (SPS) exhibition in Nuremberg, Contrinex's stand featured a display visualising the precision of its analogue inductive sensors, which were, on this occasion, used within its SMART measurement sensors. The display featured a metal cylinder, and visitors were encouraged to squeeze it like a fairground test of strength.

Nabtesco says it has taken quality, precision, production and service to a new level with a new range of zero backlash strain wave gears manufactured by Ovalvo. They feature maximum precision, availability and cost-effectiveness, to guarantee outstanding performance and efficiency.

With the ST 152, SIGMATEK is expanding its S-DIAS Motion line with a high-performance stepper motor output stage for DIN rails. It is designed to control two-phase stepper motors with a nominal voltage of up to 50 V DC and a continuous current of 5 A.

Parker Hannifin is introducing the enhanced version of proportional cartridge throttle valve series, TFP, along with its DFplus generation IV pilot valve. The new pilot valve further reduces the step response times by up to 30%, which the company says makes the TFP the fastest valve in its class.
