Rollon Light Rails That Can Stand Up To Heavy Loads

Light Rails That Can Stand Up To Heavy Loads
When it comes to linear guides, we’re beginning to see a shift towards lighter rails––not in terms of load capacity, but in terms of the weight of the material. Although this shift translates to significant cost savings, the rails must still be able to handle heavy loads, an engineering balancing act that has made its way into the aerospace, railway and packaging industries.
Aerospace and Railway. Linear guides are used in a...
Sinamics Profinet System Redundancy
May 16th, 2017
SINAMICS: PROFINET-system redundancy
The PROFINET system redundancy allows the assembly of system-redundant systems (S2-system redundancy). The purpose of using fault-tolerant automation systems is to reduce production downtimes, regardless of whether the failures are caused by an error/fault or are due to maintenance work.
The SINAMICS S120, G130, G150 and S150 PROFINET control units support PROFINET system redundancy as from FW V4.8.
Precondition for system-redundant...

Rittal Enclosure Heaters
Condensation represents a serious risk for control electronics, both in outdoor and indoor locations. Rittal’s enclosure heaters are designed to regulate the internal conditions of an enclosure. Advanced PTC technology allows the heater to self-regulate its operation – only using energy when required. The energy-efficient PTC technology and design optimization maximizes the latest in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to permit improved heating outputs....

Rohtek Automation - Ladder Training Fatek Plcs Programmable Logic Controller Training Box
April 4th, 2017
On March 2013, Rohtek Automation unveiled its Programmable Logic Controller Professional Training Box. The Rohtek Training Box is an excellent tool for learning ladder logic programming in realistic applications. The ladder logic language is very similar among different brands of PLCs and the software development environment, called WinProLadder, is very similar to AB's RSLogix. Programming skills developed with the Training Box are applicable to PLC programming in general. It contains the...
Robotiq Grippers For Collaborative Robots

Grippers for Collaborative Robots
When we say collaborative robots or “cobots,” we often refer to the robot arm. Of course, the robot arm is not able to pick parts, sense force, or detect objects on a work plane all by itself — it needs a helping “hand” to perform its tasks. We call these the end-of-arm tooling, with the most common one being the gripper. Grippers give the robot arm the ability to pick up parts to perform various tasks, including insertion and...

SITOP PSE200U selectivity module with NEC Class 2 Selectivity and Fast Fault-Locating in 24V DC Load Circuits
The SITOP selectivity module distributes the load current across several 24 V DC load circuits and monitors them reliably for overload and short-circuit conditions. With common signaling contact or single-channel signaling, the SITOP add-on module is now also available as an NEC Class 2 version. This means each of the four outputs is itself limited to 100 VA in case of a fault,...
