The new transducers in rod and profile housings with an Ethernet interface from Balluff offer multiple advantages for machine manufacturers and operators with respect to startup and machine output. The standardized communication protocols and automatic address assignment simplify integration of the transducer into the controller and the plant network. Because of this, a complex programming process is no longer necessary. This leads to a shortened machine startup time, low implementation costs and reduces fault sources simultaneously.
Offering highly reliable detection of air bubbles in medical dosing applications, the acclaimed range of air-in-line (AIL) sensors from Morgan Advanced Materials has been extended to provide two new capabilities in line with demand from medical original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
Morgan Advanced Materials has developed a new, lighter weight, metallised current collector strip, based on proprietary material technology, which is set to bring a wide range of benefits for the rail sector.
Autocam, a wholly owned group of NN Inc., manufactures precision components for many high tech end markets. One of their specialties is complex metal components for emerging fuel system technologies. Because of the critical role that these parts play in transportation safety, inspection and measurement systems are used throughout the production floor, performing in-process quality inspection.
Maxwell Technologies announced, the ultracapacitors powered voltage stabilization system (VSS) of Continental Automotive will be a standard feature on 2016 Cadillac ATS and CTS sedans and ATS coupes, excluding the ATS-V, CTS-V and CT6 models.
The Thermal Ceramics business of Morgan Advanced Materials has developed a versatile fibre, Superwool® Sealcoat™ HT, which is suitable for use in nearly a dozen furnace lining applications.
