Chromalox is pleased to announce that they now offer Wireless Temperature Sensing for Heat Trace applications in both ordinary and hazardous areas. This new capability provides several benefits including expanded application flexibility, improved process safety and measured installation cost savings while maintaining system integrity.

When commercial electromechanical actuators or stages first became available, a new machine's design was often dictated by the limited number of products available to designers with very rigid designs that did not allow for customization. Learn more.

Parker's Intelligent Parker Amplifier (IPA), a full-featured servo drive/controller, is delivered standard with EtherNet/IP (EIP) communications capability. The IPA is an EIP adapter device (aka server or slave) that is ready out of the box for a PLC to establish communications to it.

Whether searching for a partner or planning to do the work internally, to bring motion and control value to your next development project, verify that the team has the right tools and skills to guarantee success.

Most engineers are comfortable with the qualities of square rail bearing linear actuators and they use them regularly for motion support. Let's take a quick moment to discuss the pros and cons of roller wheel bearing linear actuators.

ASCO's C Series is a robust compact cylinder line that is designed to fit tight space requirements. The low profile design and variety of mounting options makes this cylinder line extremely popular.

ASCO's SH Series Guided Linear Motion device is capable of heavy loads and moderately long strokes and is available with a wide range of options.

ASCO has introduced the capability to integrate multiple safety zones within a single Numatics 503 Series valve manifold. This new zoned safety approach helps the design engineer satisfy the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and comply with ISO 13849-1 while eliminating the components and complexity found in discrete safety circuits.

For more flexibility in automated production environments, Schmalz has developed the Suction Cup Balance SSCB: A gripping and clamping system with automated conversion capability for 3D mold surfaces. Workpieces of different contours can be gripped and clamped. Lean more.

For years, Schmalz has promoted communication from gripping system components to the control and even to the management level. Users can now read out data straight from the device and on mobile devices via NFC.
