Softing adds to its Docker technology-based edgeConnector product family. The new edgeConnector Modbus is a flexible Docker container application for Modbus TCP controllers.
The MAXXTURN 65 G2 has been completely redesigned. With its clever modular design, the machine offers a wide range of options for specific customer requirements. The high drive power of the main and counter spindles, combined with optimum torque characteristics, ensures economic efficiency in the machining of steel as well as in the high-speed machining of aluminium. 12 driven tools and a Y-axis ensure perfect results in complex milling and drilling operations. With numerous automation solutions and the EMCONNECT digital process assistant, the MAXXTURN 65 G2 is state-of-the-art and enables low-manpower production in operation.
ACE Controls Inc., a leading manufacturer of industrial motion and vibration control technology, announces its MC75 Family of miniature shock absorbers. Thanks to their small size, these units can provide high-energy damping in tight installation spaces in industrial manufacturing, material handling, packaging, medical, electronics and robotics applications.
Syntegon has added a new member to its highly successful AIM 5 inspection range: the fully integrated syringe inspection line not only features a de-nester and a re-nester, but also comes with an Artificial Intelligence (AI) function by default. “When drugs are administered intravenously, any contamination or particle in the product is unacceptable”, says Dr José Zanardi, responsible for vision inspection development and applications at Syntegon. “Our innovative and fully integrated inspection line handles syringes with utmost care and uses AI to further increase inspection accuracy.”
Size is often a critical constraint when selecting sensors for position- or presence-sensing. The Contrinex MINIATURE range, which includes the smallest self-contained inductive sensors on the market, meets this constraint without compromising on functionality.
