APC Technology panel PCs
01 April, 2009 | APC Technology
APC Technology’s range of rugged industrial panel PCs and displays use the latest industrial-grade components, touch-screen technologies and sunlight readable displays to provide a rugged, reliable, customisable solution to suit specific requirements. Environments include production and assembly lines, hose down areas and food production.
Trio differential pressure transmitter
01 April, 2009 | Motion Technologies Pty Ltd
The Trio MC464 can support up to 64 axes of motion in a unit the size of a small book. The MC464’s digital drive interface provides a plug-and-play connection between the motion controller and various digital drives. This significantly reduces wiring while providing a much higher axis count compared to what is available in comparable motion controllers.
Industrial pumps
01 April, 2009 | Hydra-Cell Pumps Limited
Hydra-Cell pumps can handle recycled fluids with particles in suspension of up to 500 µm.
Compact ultrasonic sensor
01 April, 2009 | Turck Australia Pty Ltd
Turck has introduced an ultrasonic sensor in a compact Q12 style housing that achieves a 40 cm sensing range with a small 2.5 cm blind zone. The small profile of the sensor allows it to be mounted in narrow spaces, like those found in packaging applications.
Digital pressure gauges
01 April, 2009 | AMS Instrumentation & Calibration Pty Ltd
The Noshok 1000 series digital pressure gauge features an integrated battery with up to 4000 h of battery life, eliminating the necessity of fixed power supplies.
PLC data access module
01 April, 2009 | Omron Electronics Pty Ltd
Omron Electronics has released the Data Access Module (DAM01) — a small user interface for its micro PLC range. Fitting neatly into a communication board slot, the DAM01 empowers the user with knowledge of the process the PLC is controlling.
PNOZsigma safety relays
01 April, 2009 | Pilz Australia Industrial Automation LP
The multifunctional PNOZsigma relay allows a smaller number of units to be used in applications that previously required the use of numerous different models of safety relay, meaning that stockholdings can be reduced substantially. The PNOZsigma relays also provide LEDs on the front that give much better diagnostic data than their predecessors, helping with troubleshooting and therefore reducing machine downtime.
Linear inductive displacement sensors
01 April, 2009 | Bestech Australia Pty Ltd
The VIP series of linear inductive displacement sensors from Micro-Epsilon uses a measuring ring and integral electronics. There is no mechanical contact between the measuring element (ring) and the sensor rod. The sensor therefore operates without any wear and no maintenance is required.
Motor management display
01 April, 2009 | Schneider Electric
The TeSys T display allows the user to configure the parameters of the TeSys T motor management and protection relay and to display the selected operational values.
Compact serial valve manifold
01 April, 2009 | SMC Australia | New Zealand
When available space is at a premium, as is often the case on machines and in control cabinets, the ability to source a compact, fully centralised, serial controlled valve manifold is essential. The EX250 serial interface provides a compact solution and can use either of the proven SV and VQC series of valves that are available in a number of sizes and flow rates. The EX250 is easily configured with digital input and digital output modules to suit additional control requirements and supports many serial protocols including ethernet, EtherCat, Profibus, DeviceNet, AS-i and Modbus. The EX250 has an IP67 enclosure rating as standard for those wet and dusty areas, which also makes it suitable for out-of-cabinet installation.
