Nuts are an essential component in many assemblies. However, they challenge automation systems because of their low metal content for detection with inductive sensors or because the variety of angles and reflections that nuts can present to photoelectric sensors are problematic. Contrinex offers a solution.

Molex has completed its acquisition of AirBorn, a global manufacturer of rugged and highly reliable connectors and electronic components designed for mission-critical applications across aerospace and defence, commercial air, space exploration, medical and industrial markets.

Recently launched by MOONS' and available in the UK from its UK distribution partner Mclennan, the new AW series 'Industrial Protective Stepper Motors' are aimed at harsh environment motion control applications in food and beverage production, medical industries and arduous industrial environments.

The smooth and continuous transmission of power, data, and signals between rotating and stationary parts is crucial across many applications. Bearings are a critical part of this equation, and advancements in their design, such as the integration of Slip Rings and Thin Section Bearings, have made them indispensable. Carter Manufacturing, in collaboration with Silverthin, excels in integrating thin section bearings into slip rings.

At MachineBuilding.Live 2024, TEN Editor Mark Simms talks to Jason Reed, account manager at Pilz about the new Machine Regulation and how it addresses security.

IMI has released a series of on-demand webinars, providing an overview of electric motion solutions so that engineers assessing their own application need can gain a better understanding of the product selection process and the primary technical considerations.

New optical sensors feature enhanced detection capabilities and faster commissioning thanks to Leuze's Power PinPoint LED technology.

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.
