A new video from Igus runs us through a few cable management options for robots, showing robots set up with different systems and how they cope.

Saft has developed a new high-energy density storage system (ESS) optimised for time-shifting applications: a key enabler for the massive integration of low-carbon renewable energy on power grids.

The new Quint Oring redundancy modules with ACB Technology from Phoenix Contact now feature application-specific surge protection and two outputs for high system availability.

Intralogistics applications have traditionally had to use two sensors and two different technologies for bar code position detection, but the new FBPS 600i safety bar code positioning system from Leuze enables position detection with a single sensor.

FDB Panel Fittings now offers high quality quarter-turn lock/latches at its online store in wing format. This design facilitates improved manual operation on small enclosures, or may be used in pairs for larger cabinet doors in place of a more complex rod lock system.

From humble objects such as coins to complex medical machines and automotive parts, durable, high-quality pressings and stampings are key for the application to work effectively. With that in mind, the experts at European Springs and Pressings explain the differences between progressive die stamping and multi-slide stamping.

From bespoke code to customisable off the shelf software (COTS), we are now seeing a shift to the wonderful world of Software as a Service (SaaS). Ian Kilner, partner business development manager at SolutionsPT looks at the implications for system integrators.

Spirol has expanded its range of solid pins to include the new Series BP100 Press-N-Lok pin, designed to permanently retain two plastic components to each other.

Igus has developed the e-loop, a chain to support hanging installations in extremely challenging applications, such as deep drilling oil and gas rigs.

With four times the resolution of previous products and ten times faster evaluation, the new O2I multicode reader from IFM Electronic can read almost any type of barcode or 2D code quickly and reliably, even in challenging conditions.
