Sensors allow robots to be aware of their surroundings and react dynamically to changes, says Mark J Donovan of AMS. The classic image of the robot in a factory is a vast arm stretching to perform basic welding, lifting and spraying on bare sheets of metal. But this picture is rapidly becoming outdated. That generation of robotic arms tended to ...
U-blox has announced Nina-B2, a dual-mode Bluetooth 4.2 stand-alone module for industrial IoT applications with built-in secure boot. “Pre-flashed with u-blox connectivity software which supports use cases such as Beacon, GATT client, GATT server, and serial port, Nina-B2 is configured using AT commands over UART, without requiring deep knowledge of the Bluetooth protocol,” said the firm. Built-in secure boot guarantees ...
Allegro adds magneto-resistive sensors to its Hall-based range of current and magnetic field devices
Recom introduces the REDIN/3AC series of two- and three-phase AC/DC DIN rail PSUs.
Harting has designed a connector that combines high current capacity with signal transmission and tough environmental protection. The power contacts range of up to 630Vac and a maximum current of 28A. Called Han M23 Power and intended for industrial applications, its meets IP67 and IP69K in the closed position, while tool-free assembly makes it suitable for field assembly by service ...
Toshiba has started to ship two new 100V additions to its low-voltage U-MOS IX-H N-channel power MOSFET series.6 The devices are suitable for power supply applications in industrial equipment as well as motor control applications. Fabricated with Toshiba’s latest low-voltage U-MOS IX-H trench process, which optimizes the element structure, the TPH3R70APL and TPN1200APL deliver the industry’s lowest-in-class on-resistance of 3.7mΩ ...
Murata has started production of X1 leaded ceramic safety capacitors rated at 760Vac(rms) for high voltage industrial applications such as 3-phase power supplies, inverters and motors. Called DE1, the series can also be used as a Y1 class capacitor for connection between an ac power line and ground, for which it is rated at 500Vac(rms). It complies with IEC 60384-14, UL60384-14 ...
Described as a universal assistant for smart factories, Talking Pi from Joy-it is an open source, speech control intelligent module for systems and connected applications in smart factories and industrial control. The module, now available from Conrad Business Supplies, serves as an extension to Raspberry Pi, allows the control of lights, individual sockets or devices by voice command. A bracket ...
Harwin has introduced of a female contact for its 2mm-pitch Datamate connectors that boost current delivery to 8.5A. It uses a proprietary six-finger design, machined from a single piece of beryllium copper. “The innovative patented design employed in these components presents more contact points, which enhances resilience to shock and vibrational forces,” said the firm – ratings are 100gravity and ...
TDK has announced a series of of AC-DC industrial power supplies that can operate on 115V, 230V and 277Vac nominal inputs. Called CSW65 and rated at up to 65W output, the inputs accept 90 to 305Vac, eliminating the need for step down transformers when operating at 277Vac. Operation without forced air cooling is across ambient temperatures of -10 to +70°C, ...
