With PTCB TM, Phoenix Contact is launching a new generation of thermal-magnetic circuit-breakers onto the market. With a width of just 8 mm, alignable current monitoring, and the capability of direct bridging to the Clipline complete system, the product family ensures high efficiency and transparency in the control cabinet and is suitable for demanding industrial applications.

Norstat now offers the ReeR Safety SAFEREADY family of Light Curtains. These new light curtains are designed to meet the most advanced needs of modern industrial automation.

WEG has launched the W22 Prime, the next generation of its W22 induction motor range. Designed to deliver IE4 and IE5 efficiency levels without the need for an inverter, the W22 Prime combines the proven robustness of traditional induction technology with significantly enhanced energy performance.

ABB is the world's first manufacturer to offer an IE6 Hyper‑Efficiency motor certified to ATEX and IECEx requirements for use in hazardous areas. The new IE6 Increased safety motor, based on ABB's magnet- and rare earth- free synchronous reluctance (SynRM) technology, offers up to 60 percent lower energy losses than the IE3 induction motors commonly used in Zones 1 and 2.

Digi International has announced the launch of DANI, the Digi Artificial Network Intelligence agent, a purpose-built AI network operations agent natively embedded in a networking device management platform, Digi Remote Manager (DRM).

norelem is expanding its portfolio by adding control and monitoring devices with external contact blocks. Designed for the safe triggering of switching commands and the clear display of operating, status, and fault messages, the buttons are used in such fields as mechanical and plant engineering, automation technology, the process and manufacturing industry, and construction technology.

Teledyne FLIR OEM announces the release of the ITAR-free Boson SX8, the first NDAA-compliant, volume production, uncooled longwave infrared (LWIR) thermal camera module to combine an 8-micron pixel pitch with SXGA (1280 × 1024) resolution.

NORD DRIVESYSTEMS offers a powerful combination for use in mixing and agitating technology: MAXXDRIVE industrial gear units with the SAFOMI-IEC adapter are specifically developed for mixers to improve operational reliability and reduce the use of wear parts.

Available from Norstat, the DUO-BOX from Multi-Box is a durable plastic enclosure that has two functional areas which allow separation of different components while still being maintained in the same enclosure.

When machine builders talk about the benefits of cabinet-free automation, the conversation usually focuses on faster installation and simplified maintenance. What often goes unnoticed is a commercial advantage that starts well before a machine even reaches the factory floor: shipping costs. In a logistics environment increasingly shaped by volumetric pricing models, machine footprint is becoming just as important as machine weight. Here Neil March, MX Product Specialist at Beckhoff, explains how this shift makes control architecture a surprisingly relevant cost driver.
