ODVA announced today that conformance testing is now available for EtherNet/IP network-enabled devices that communicate over the Ethernet-APL physical layer.
Degassing and sealing of battery cells are core processes in battery production. Handling solutions from Festo ensure a reliable and dynamic process, including inspection and labelling. Pneumatic and electric actuators are used to pierce and seal the battery cells.
Universal Robots has grown its welding application segment with more than 80% this year as partners develop new capabilities for the pioneering cobot welders. At FABTECH, Universal Robots’ booth will showcase new solutions from Vectis Automation and Hirebotics, enabling the weldment of larger and more complex parts.
Acquisition will extend Siemens’ enterprise verification platform, adding Avery‘s Verification Protocol and Compliance Test Suite offerings. Customers can optimize quality and reduce time-to-market by utilizing Siemens’ verification solution across simulation, emulation, and prototyping cycles.
With the new function, the energy consumption of each individual axis can be determined per cycle. The energy measurement is performed autonomously and in real time in the Baumüller b maXX servo converters used.
To prevent plant downtimes or failures in areas where an explosive mixture of air with flammable substances can arise, technicians must react flexibly and safely to all requirements in production.
The increasing networking of machines, controls and IT systems in industrial plants leads to increasingly complex networks at the production level. To ensure reliable data exchange, high-performance Industrial Ethernet Switches with a high number of ports and data bandwidths are required.
Kontron, a global leader in IoT/Embedded Computing Technology (ECT), will introduce the PiXtend® Pi 4 programmable logic controller based on the Raspberry Pi 4 at the SPS 2022. The new high-performance single-board computer features a Broadcom BCM2711, quad-core Arm® Cortex® A72 at 1.5 GHz processor that is faster than the previous generation.
