Robots are being used successfully in more and more industries, including construction. The Cartesius urban district is currently under construction in Utrecht, Netherlands. As part of the project, around 3,000 new apartments will be built by 2030. By using two fischer BauBot construction robots, approximately 4,800 holes were automatically drilled into the ceiling of a residential building under construction.

CONEC M8x1 connectors with 2 or 3 integrated LEDs are ideally suited for sensor/actuator cabling in factory automation, mechanical and plant engineering, conveyor and packaging technology, as well as in testing and inspection systems.

The world of industrial automation is facing profound challenges. A fully connected production environment is now widely recognized as key to maintaining competitiveness. However, increased connectivity also brings greater exposure to cyber threats. Learn how MB connect line solutions can help defending operational infrastructure (OT) against cyber threats.

The demand for modular, scalable and highly available conveyor systems is growing in intralogistics. Turck is responding to this trend with a consistent IP67 concept for the digitalization of conveyor technology – from the controller to the power supply to the safety technology, all directly in the field and without a control cabinet.

The 200 W i1C series from TDK-Lambda is available in the industry-standard housing format (1 x 1 inch = 26.42 x 26.42 mm). The non-isolated buck-boost DC-DC converters (upconverters and downconverters) operate with input voltages ranging from 9 to 36 V or 18 to 75 V. The i1C series offers adjustable output voltages from 9.6 to 28 V with output currents of up to 10 A.

The goal of customized projects is to translate complex requirements into intuitive, powerful, and easy-to-use systems. DMB Technics takes a holistic approach: with innovation, high quality, and close collaboration, the company develops solutions that go far beyond traditional displays – and turns its customers' visions into reality.

DISPLAY VISIONS has many years of experience in product development and production. Its core expertise lies in displays, which are used in a wide range of industries, from process automation and mechanical engineering to medical technology. However, there are not only displays that need to be technically perfect, but also the overall implementation, especially in the HMI environment. Read what DISPLAY VISIONS has to say about emotions in selection and acceptance – especially in displays – in neuromarketing.

High density, fully programmable and easy to use: The programmable AC power sources of the GENESYS™ AC series with 2-3 kVA and 6-9 kVA have a very high power density, output voltages from 0-350 Vac and ±500 Vdc (GAC PRO), and frequencies from 16 Hz up to 5 kHz.

How Kontron technology helps with vehicle assembly. In fully automated production cells in the automotive industry, high-performance and reliable hardware and software that can withstand a wide range of environmental conditions and global specifications is particularly important.

A new high-performance box PC with AI acceleration for industrial applications and edge computing will soon be available from BRESSNER Technology. The Nuvo-1100 series from Neousys Technology comes equipped with everything modern industrial applications in the fields of edge AI, image processing, and automation required today. Powered by the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra 200 processors, the system offers a scalable, robust platform for demanding computational tasks at the network edge.

From e-mobility to communication and from medical technology to smart tools and household appliances, industry needs more and more battery cells. However, their production in gigafactories consumes enormous amounts of energy. In addition, the large production lines are very inflexible. A possible alternative has now been successfully trialed at the wbk Institute of Production Engineering at KIT. The approach: process containment in mini-environments. Robots from KUKA fill one of the main roles!

Power supply and data transmission in one connector: CONEC hybrid connectors excel with shorter assembly times and reduced weight on the end device (for example, a motor). With various sizes (B12, B17, B23, B40), CONEC offers the suitable hybrid connector for nearly every power class, whether it is a small DC drive or a powerful servo drive.

Kontron's network platforms offer scalable switching (L2) and routing (L3) functions for different hardware platforms. The EN50155-compliant Ethernet switches KSwitch R20, KSwitch R16, and the Ethernet switch module KSwitch M20 provide solution building blocks for secure communication.

Turck's CMVT-M8T in a compact stainless-steel housing uses vibration measurement to monitor the condition of motors and drives. With single-axis measurement, easy installation in the service bore via M8 screw-in thread including mounting adapter up to M30 and three selectable output signals, the sensor ensures precise vibration monitoring with minimum installation effort.

Promising solutions for increasing efficiency in agriculture are offered by agricultural robotics. Suitable drive systems need to be as compact as possible, like the flat DC-micromotors of the BXT series from FAULHABER. For applications with major fluctuations in temperature and under the harshest conditions, the extremely robust motors of the CXR family are ideally suited. Incremental encoders and compact drive electronics enable dynamic and highly positioning when sowing, replanting or harvesting.

With the IGPS-9084GP-LA network switch from ICP Germany, a network switch developed in accordance with IEC 62443-4-1 and compliant with IEC 62443-4-2 is now available to secure one's infrastructure against manipulation.

Reliable implementation of intelligent maintenance requires rugged embedded computers capable of processing sensor data directly at the machine. Cincoze industrial PCs meet these demands: they combine powerful computing, industrial-grade durability, and modular expandability – ideal for predictive maintenance in manufacturing, energy, transportation, and safety-critical industries.

The RACPRO1 series from RECOM Power ensures greater efficiency and space savings in the control cabinet. With three-phase and integrated DC input, power range from 240 to 960 W, high efficiency, tool-free wiring and durability, the series is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
