Preventing unplanned stoppages and simplifying troubleshooting is high on the agenda for anyone maintaining an industrial network. So, today’s launch of not one but ten new diagnostic and monitoring tools by Procentec is sure to spark widespread interest in the Industrial Automation Market.
Siemens presents the Simatic Robot Library for the Simatic Robot Integrator - a new universal robot library for the TIA (Totally Integrated Automation) Portal, which replaces the previous manufacturer-specific libraries. The specification has been developed in close cooperation with robot manufacturers ABB Robotics, Comau, Epson, FANUC, Kawasaki Robotics, KUKA, Panasonic Industry, STÄUBLI, Techman Robot, Yamaha, and YASKAWA. In future, users will be able to program most of the robots available on the market in the TIA Portal using the Simatic Robot Library, and make use of standard operating concepts based on the Simatic Robot Integrator and Simatic HMI.
Targeted at commercial facilities, factories and other buildings, Mitsubishi Electric launches its new air circuit breakers (ACBs) with a breaking capacity of up to 50kA. The new range, called "AE V Series C-class", offers a number of built-in features that reduce the need for multiple additional accessories. For example, when utilizing the built-in solenoid for remote operation the traditional motor charging devices and closing coils can be dispensed with as the breaker only requires an appropriately matched shunt trip device. This helps to eliminate additional parts that were previously required to achieve remote operation.
Fischer Connectors is enhancing the integration capability of its versatile plug & use Fischer Freedom Series. The product line has been extended with new products and accessories allowing design engineers to further optimize cable management in line with their SWaP (size, weight and power) requirements, and integrate low-profile connectors, cable assemblies and active devices easily into all sorts of materials, even the most flexible of fabrics.
Two years ago, Jungheinrich presented the ETV 216i to the public for the first time. At that time, it was the world's first truck with a novel lithium-ion battery concept. A world premiere that set standards in terms of design, ergonomics and agility. Now, Jungheinrich has dispatched the 1000th ETV 216i. In Italy, the Penny Market food chain relies entirely on lithium-ion technology. This includes an entire fleet of the ETV 216i reach truck.
