Modern automation systems often require controlled force rather than simply precise positioning. Whether pressing a component into place, tightening a cap, or detecting contact with a part, engineers need a simple and reliable way to control and verify applied force.

This video demonstrates how to configure a Parker PAC120 Motion Controller to control an EasyMotion All-in-One Integrated Servo Motor using the EtherCAT fieldbus network and CODESYS programming software.

In this example, the external encoder acts as the master reference device. Every time the external encoder completes one revolution, the Parker servo motor is programmed to execute four corresponding revolutions.

Refined technology and continuous evolution connect people, systems, and IT even more strongly.

Oriental Motor built a robot and conveyor automation demo to showcase a revolving robotic pick-and-place process, a common method used to perform warehouse automation tasks, such as picking, packing, shipping, receiving, unpacking, and stocking. 

Choosing the right industrial pressure gauge doesn’t have to be complicated. In this video, we walk you through a simple and proven framework called STAMPED to help you select the best pressure gauge for your application—every time.

High-performance thermocouples are the workhorses of industrial temperature measurement — especially in extreme environments. In this video, we explain how thermocouples work, why they’re ideal for high-temperature, high-pressure, and high-vibration applications, and how to avoid common measurement errors.

Discover the differences between pressure transducers and pressure transmitters in this informative video. Learn how each device functions and their specific applications. Get insights into selecting the right tool for your pressure measurement needs. 

In this video, we dive into the fundamentals and advanced concepts of differential pressure measurement using WIKA's cutting-edge instruments. Whether you're an industry professional or a student looking to expand your knowledge, this video covers everything you need to know about differential pressure sensors and their applications.

Ashcroft is a leading manufacturer of pressure and temperature measurement instruments.

This video will illustrate how to set up a Beijer HMI X2 Pro 10 to communicate with a CODESYS PLC using the CODESYS driver.

Where should you install my ultrasonic or radar liquid level sensor on your tank? Since tanks vary from simple to complex, the short answer is: mount the sensor on a flat, perpendicular surface with clear, unobstructed measurement space down to the tank bottom.

A standpipe is a simple barrier that isolates the sensor’s acoustic or RF signal from the rest of the tank. This improves performance in three cases. First, extreme agitation can scatter the signal and cause erratic readings; a standpipe dampens the turbulence at the measurement point.

Condensation is the most common variable in liquid level applications, and it degrades the measurement reliability of typical ultrasonic sensors. For this reason, users often pay more for radar sensors to address condensation. Until now.

This video introduces EchoBeam, a new 80 GHz radar level sensor from Flowline. The sensor offers reliable level measurement for liquids and solids, with features like high accuracy, narrow beam, zero deadband, and maintenance-free operation.

When installing an ultrasonic or radar level sensor, the approach depends on your tank type, material, and sensing technology.
