Flexible cable carrier system from Kabelschlepp Metool

Flexible cable carrier system from Kabelschlepp Metool

The modern standard from Kabelschlepp Metool is defined by low-emission products that meet high quality requirements. To achieve this, the Wenden-based company developed a truly lightweight, low-noise, and low-dust cable carrier system that is ideal for the kind of clean room applications found in microchip and semiconductor production. QUANTUM has been designed without joints to ensure that no abrasion or wear is caused during operation by the connecting elements.

EAO extends switch range into Industry 4.0 arena

EAO extends switch range into Industry 4.0 arena

The trend towards digitisation of Human Machine Interfaces in the industrial sector is leading OEMs to adopt radically new approaches to machinery design and manufacture. At the same time, digitisation is creating an even more intensive working environment for operators of the equipment. Mindful of these requirements HMI specialist EAO has introduced a new family of capacitive switches that enable new generations of digital machine systems to be intelligently connected via an IO link controller to higher level bus systems or a programmable logic controller (PLC).
