Turck's MR15-Q80 3D radar scanner ensures reliable object detection and collision avoidance

Many radar sensors for collision avoidance are limited to detecting the distance and thus only output one dimension as a measured value. Turck's new MR15-Q80 radar scanner, on the other hand, delivers genuine 3D data and thus significantly improves the mapping of objects and spaces, giving developers and system engineers a greater degree of freedom. Thanks to its robust design, which can withstand shocks of up to 100 g, and the SAE J1939 interface, the scanner is particularly suitable for use in mobile equipment, but also for AGVs or conventional industrial trucks in intralogistics.

Designed for use in the smallest of spaces, ICP Germany is launching the NRU-154PoE and the NRU-156U3, two embedded systems with a flattop cooling design. The cooling design enables use in particularly confined spaces, such as in Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) or Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR).

Medical technology requires durable connection solutions

There are areas of application in which reliable function and durability are essential. This applies to electronics and – often not in focus – electrical connections. WECO manufactures connection solutions for applications where the zero-defect principle is a prerequisite for operation. One example is medical technology.

Experience innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence, embedded vision and the close integration of image processing and automation image processing and automation - for the smart factory of tomorrow and for constantly growing non-industrial applications.

WECO realises customer-specific developments on request and guarantees fast and flexible project implementation. The first step in such a project is to draw up a specification sheet in which all relevant information is collected. In addition to the dimensions, this includes, for example, loads such as voltage, current strength, or mechanical stress as well as the resulting heating, possible environmental influences such as temperature, the effect of gases or liquids and much more.

Spectra Vision i6K: Powerful rack PC with numerous expansion options

Modern work processes in industry and research are increasingly relying on the possibilities of machine vision or AI applications. Data is captured and processed with the help of industrial PC systems that can keep pace with the rapid development of these applications.

CONEC M8x1 connector series EtherCAT P enables cost-effective device connection

EtherCAT P is a further development of the globally established and standardised EtherCAT technology. EtherCAT communication, which has been known up to now and is based on Ethernet transmission technology, is characterised in particular by its fast transmission speed (real-time Ethernet). The wiring technology is implemented with a 4-pole shielded M8x1 connector and a standard Ethernet cable, the power supply by a separate cable.

Siemens envisions a suite of generative AI-powered industrial copilots across the entire value chain that will transform the way companies design, plan, develop, engineer, and work. Together with early pilot customers and partners, Siemens is advancing generative AI-powered copilot solutions across multiple industries, from automotive, infrastructure, transportation, and healthcare to manufacturing and mechanical engineering.

Turck is expanding its Turck Automation Suite (TAS) IIoT and service software platform with the TAS Cloud industrial cloud service for remote maintenance and condition monitoring. Customers can put together their own individual cloud solution from six modules and thus also customise the billing of their services. Users only pay for services that they actually use.

Few people in Switzerland know the display industry as well as Dieter Heimgartner. More than 40 years ago, in 1980 to be exact, he co-developed STN (super-twisted nematic) technology, co-inventing the globally significant STN patent, which had a decisive impact on LCD technology then and continues to shape it today. So, when it comes to determining the direction in which the display market is heading, there are few more qualified to comment than Dieter Heimgartner – who, you’ll be interested to know, is not only the co-founder of DMB Technics but also its CEO.

This article by RECOM Power discusses what specifications a true ‘ready to use’ product needs to meet. Mobility applications put heavy demands on power converters. While commercial products may meet some of the required specifications, extensive external circuitry is typically required for overall compliance with standards such as EN 50155 for railways.

New models of the i7A series with up to 60 A and adjustable current limiting

TDK Corporation complements the TDK Lambda i7A series of non-isolated buck DC/DC converters with standard 1/16-brick footprint. The 60 A output models have a 400 W maximum rating, offering 0.8 to 8 V adjustable outputs from a 12 V nominal input.

More power, less load: the S700 active shoulder exoskeleton from exoIQ

Now ready to use: the active shoulder exoskeleton for industrial use, made in Germany. The S700 from the Hamburg-based company exoIQ effectively relieves arm, neck and shoulder muscles with up to 5 kg per arm. Physically demanding workplaces in industry can thus be made fit for the future.

When it comes to accuracy in industrial automation, every millisecond can be too much. The processing of analog measurement data from sensors depends largely on the cycle time of the controller used.

For more than 40 years, CONEC Elektronische Bauelemente GmbH has been developing, producing and marketing high-quality connectors, patch cable and single ended cable as well as enclosure technology. Since 1985, CONEC has been one of the leading suppliers of connectors with integrated filters.

The classic AIO PCs for use as a point of care solution, AIO PCs with internal batteries for mobile use on nursing trolleys, AIO PCs with additional video inputs for use in operating rooms and AIO PCs with additional GPU functionality for the use of AI technologies. Both classic screen diagonals from 15 to 24 inches and processors of different performance classes are available.

The HG-F uses TOF technology to reliably detect at distances of up to 3 m. This means that the sensor can also be installed at some distance from the object to be measured so as not to disturb employees. The movement radius of cobots or robot arms can also be kept clear in this way.
