With the advent of industry buzzwords like “Collaborative Robotics” and “Industry 4.0,” machine builders of today are feeling increased pressure to provide a new level of intelligent and flexible automation. A revolution taking place in the industrial marketplace is the Industrial Internet of Things, which describes an industrial network of devices embedded with electronics, software, and sensors, capable of collecting and exchanging data to more effectively and efficiently drive machine behavior. Trends like this are pushing an evolving industry to the forefront of technological advancement.

Chromalox is pleased to announce that they now offer Wireless Temperature Sensing for Heat Trace applications in both ordinary and hazardous areas. This new capability provides several benefits including expanded application flexibility, improved process safety and measured installation cost savings while maintaining system integrity.

When commercial electromechanical actuators or stages first became available, a new machine's design was often dictated by the limited number of products available to designers with very rigid designs that did not allow for customization. Learn more.

Parker's Intelligent Parker Amplifier (IPA), a full-featured servo drive/controller, is delivered standard with EtherNet/IP (EIP) communications capability. The IPA is an EIP adapter device (aka server or slave) that is ready out of the box for a PLC to establish communications to it.

Improve Your Motion Control Strategy

Whether searching for a partner or planning to do the work internally, to bring motion and control value to your next development project, verify that the team has the right tools and skills to guarantee success.

Most engineers are comfortable with the qualities of square rail bearing linear actuators and they use them regularly for motion support. Let's take a quick moment to discuss the pros and cons of roller wheel bearing linear actuators.

ASCO's C Series is a robust compact cylinder line that is designed to fit tight space requirements. The low profile design and variety of mounting options makes this cylinder line extremely popular.

ASCO's SH Series Guided Linear Motion device is capable of heavy loads and moderately long strokes and is available with a wide range of options.

ASCO has introduced the capability to integrate multiple safety zones within a single Numatics 503 Series valve manifold. This new zoned safety approach helps the design engineer satisfy the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and comply with ISO 13849-1 while eliminating the components and complexity found in discrete safety circuits.
