Maxon precision motors control the pitch of the rotor blades. Space fans are thrilled: NASA's Ingenuity helicopter has successfully completed its pioneering flight on Mars. This is the first time in the history of powered, unmanned spaceflight that a device has flown in a controlled manner on another planet – also thanks to DC motors that have been modified for this challenge.

Weidmüller TTB series instrument transformer terminals connect safety-relevant components captive to the terminal block. In power transmission and distribution, current and voltage transformers are used primarily for protection and measurement functions. Weidmüller has developed the new Klippon® Connect TTB Series instrument transformer terminals for this application, for particularly simple and safe wiring – even within complex circuits.

CONEC has developed a compact hybrid connector system for combined power supply and data transmission according to CAT5 which is carried out by means of a specially developed hybrid cable. This single-cable technology corresponds to modern connection and interface wiring technology.

Driven by the need for high performance, integration between factory installations and IT-systems, there has been a growing acceptance of Industrial Ethernet within industrial automation. Atlas2 Plus is designed for the permanent monitoring of industrial networks with single or mixed architecture. This second-generation diagnostic tool takes fault detection and diagnostics to a much higher level.

Atlas2 Plus enables permanent monitoring of industrial networks with single or mixed architecture. Whether PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT and/or PROFIBUS are used, this tool provides a connected approach to machine health monitoring.

ComBricks allows authorized users to remotely monitor PROFIBUS installations from anywhere in the world and will alert them if any faults arise or are likely to arise. It is a modular platform able to carry repeaters, PA and fiber optic modules.

Industrial cybersecurity will be the main theme during Procentec's Virtual Product Launch on April 8, 2021. The event will showcase new products, livestreams, entertainment and more.

In the body shop of the international automobile premium manufacturer, an automated guided vehicle (AGV) system makes fully automated production safer and more efficient. As general contractor, KUKA was responsible for the AGV system integration in the entire body shop: from the development of the safety concept, through planning, engineering, simulation and project management. A milestone was set in the AGV supported production of vehicle bodies.

UniStream: Compact All-in-One controllers now with 10‑inch display. or system integrators, compact All-in-One PLCs offer a particularly convenient way to implement interactive control tasks. If the appropriate programming software is also included in the package, implementing the tasks is particularly easy.

Remote monitoring and fault diagnostics for PROFIBUS and industrial Ethernet. How do I keep my plant running 24/7, maximize productivity and reduce network failure? Factories lose between 5 percent to 20 percent in productivity due to unplanned downtime, where just one minute of downtime can cost thousands of euros.

PrintJet CONNECT – The networked high-performance printer for efficient and high-quality markings. Today's marking processes need to be as fast, reliable, efficient, and flexible as possible. At the same time, customers also expect a print result that is perfect in every respect. And this is precisely where the new PrintJet CONNECT from Weidmüller comes in. Fitted with a high-quality industrial print head, the high-performance PrintJet CONNECT inkjet printer is the logical continuation of the...

Flexible and cost-effective machine retrofitting with DATAEAGLE. Machine tools play a central role in the manufacturing industry and especially in supplier companies to the automotive industry. For years, the performance of these machines was based on electromechanical assemblies, and sensors were only used as part of safety functions. This is changing in the course of Industry 4.0.

Smart data through decentralized pre-processing, IO-Link and cloud services – with this integrated concept Turck enables efficient solutions for Industry 4.0 and IIoT. End-to-end bidirectional communication down to the sensor/actuator level and with access to additional data – IO-Link increases the potential of industrial cloud services. Turck is combining both technologies and is thus opening up different possibilities of process optimization for users. For example, the simplification of...

The need for high data transmission rates is growing continuously as a result of increasing decentralization in the industrial environment. More and more nodes in the field level have to exchange large amounts of data in real time. The M12 X-coded connector was developed to ensure reliable transmission of up to 10 Gbit/s in industrial environments with Cat. 6A performance.

Data processing on the production level. Siemens is expanding its offer for industrial IoT solutions, adding to its Industrial Edge portfolio a central and company-wide scalable infrastructure for managing connected edge devices and apps. With the new Industrial Edge Management system, users can remotely monitor the status of every connected device and remotely install edge apps and software functions on distributed edge devices.

KUKA is implementing a fully automated test system for testing the oil and water cavity and the fuel rail in the engine block. The BMW Group plant in Hams Hall, just outside Birmingham, UK, produces three- and four-cylinder gasoline engines. The production also includes the machining of key engine components. Here, KUKA has implemented a fully automated test system for testing two different engine generations.

Waterproof push-pull connectors can withstand the harsh environments found in mechanical engineering applications. But for instance they are also suitable for use in medical devices. Yamaichi Electronics has unveiled a concept designed for up to 5,000 mating cycles. Easy assembly and improved reliability characterise this T-series, which enables data rates of up to 10 Gbps in harsh conditions.

Dirt, dust, moisture and splash water are not uncommon in industrial environments. Panel PC systems that operate in this environment must offer IP protected fronts as well as be able to guarantee low-maintenance operation. The new industrial Panel PC series PPC-F-ULT5 from ICP Germany offers these advantages and forms the basis for powerful HMI solutions.
