IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH

Robust 3D camera with IP65/67 for harsh ambient conditions

With the X30 FA and X36 FA, the industrial camera manufacturer IDS is launching two more models from its 3D camera system Ensenso X. Both new models are specifically designed for use in harsh ambient conditions. All components fulfill the requirements of the IP65/67 protection class and are therefore effectively protected against dirt, dust, water splashes, or cleaning agents. The 3D camera system combines a powerful projection module with a Gigabit Ethernet switch and two GigE uEye FA cameras with a 1.3 megapixel CMOS sensor that can be mounted at different distances. In addition to the baseline, the vergence angle and focal distance can also be freely selected, thus allowing the solution to be individually tailored to any 3D-vision requirement.

Emerson Announces High Density Pneumatic Valve Island, Enabling Reduced Installation Costs

Emerson announces a major update to the ASCO Numatics G3 Series electronic valve island platform, enabling a reduction in installation costs. The valve island has been expanded so that it can control up to 128 solenoid valves on a single valve island assembly. This allows more valves to be controlled from a single node, enabling savings in the number of nodes and the cabling, internal tubing and electrical connections in the cabinet. Customers will benefit when they control a high density of valves or pneumatic equipment in a packaging plant or on a skid.
