PGI answered customer requests for a lower stem handleturning torque by introducing their new Low-Torque™ Grafoil® bonnet and packing design. Grafoil® Stem Seal Torque Reduced 50%.

Parker Autoclave Engineers have taken a variety of in-house technologies and created a patent-pending simple to make connection using easy-to use tools that is as safe as a Cone & Thread connection without any of the vibration sensitivity.

IO-Link provides a platform for sensors to report fault detection, condition monitoring and component identification, and communicate the details throughout the system. IO-Link helps shorten commissioning and reduces troubleshooting and downtime to maximize production availability.

Vibration and noise control for stepper motors has been a focus of machine builders in recent years. Too much vibration can cause missed steps, and minimization of noise can widen applications outside of factory automation. The good news is that recent advances in driver technology can help.

It can be challenging for OEMs, system integrators and distributors to find “invisible noise.” Unwanted EMI and RFI noise can degrade the performance of communication systems and cause false triggering and faulty readings in sensor circuits.

EMI and RFI are types of electric or electronic emission that can degrade, impair or prevent electrical circuit performance. To protect and optimize equipment performance, Enerdoor offers one of the largest ranges of solutions to reduce electromagnetic / radio-frequency interference.

Introducing the SRP-FPV220 solution for MES integration and production optimization. This solution ready platform allows users to easily collect data from shop-floor devices via multiple communications such as Modbus, OPC UA and MQTT and automatically generates Excel reports of production activities. 

In semiconductor applications, a diffuser allows process or atmospheric gas to be introduced into a vacuum chamber without excess turbulence.

Securing leak-free connection of impulse lines to manifolds for applications that use differential pressure flowmeters is a subject that has taxed instrumentation engineers for more than a century. Back in 1910, when the very first orifice plate installations made an appearance, they involved 33 connections and 16 lengths of tubing!
