Smart Igus Cobot with digital ecosystem

Igus Cobots gear kit Igus presents the Service robot Rebel. Just one year after the first presentation of the modular gearbox for cobots, igus is already recording 20 automation projects per week. In doing so, igus relies entirely on its Motion Plastics expertise: the use of plastic makes the robot, weighing 8,2 kg, the lightest service robot with cobot function in its class. All mechanical components in the Rebel are developed and manufactured by igus.


 

A year ago Basler (Distribution Rauscher) is changing its portfolio with the Boost series Cameras with Coaxpress 2.0 interface expanded. These are with modern CMOS Sensors fitted. The series has now been expanded to include six new Boost cameras with 20, 32 and 45 megapixel resolution. The industrial cameras owe their excellent image quality to the sensors of the XGS series from ON Semiconductor.

steute04161On the basis of the safety-oriented radio protocol "Swave-safe", Steute has developed a three-stage radio foot switch. This switch with the designation RF GFS 2 D (VD) SW2.4-safe is a 3-stage wireless safety foot switch off-on-off. The design is designed for ergonomic, fatigue-free operation and a long service life even under harsh environmental conditions.

Monitor bracketNorelem has its range of monitor mount supplemented by a particularly compact model. The new monitor mount is 50 mm shorter than the previously available version. It is therefore very well suited for applications in which there is little space for a PC and monitor. New accessories are also available. carrying arms, a tablet support and keyboard tray expand radius of action and flexibility.

Statement

Alexander Mielchen

Product Manager Leuze Electronic GmbH + Co. KG, Owen

introduces the new programmable small safety controller MSI 400 with 16 inputs, four outputs and four configurable I / Os.



The statement was posted on 23. November 2016 given at the SPS IPC Drives show in Nuremberg.
rauscher03162Pleora Technologies presents the first platform of Nbase-T products that transmit uncompressed, high-bandwidth GigE Vision-compatible images at speeds of up to 5 Gb / s over low-cost Cat 5e cables. With this vision (Rauscher sales), manufacturers of cameras and imaging devices can now support the increasing bandwidth requirements of applications in manufacturing, medicine, armaments and vehicle construction.

rauscher31119With the "Rapixo CXP", Matrox Imaging (Rauscher) has developed a new generation of frame grabbers for version 2.0 of the Coaxpress (CXP) interface standard. With it, data rates of up to 1.0 Gbit / s (CXP-1.1) or up to 6,25 Gbit / s (CXP-6) can be achieved - also backwards compatible with Coaxpress 12,5 / 12.

micro-epsilon0314In order to be able to operate the highly dynamic laser triangulation sensor Opto NCDT 2300 with an analog output, Micro-Epsilon presents the C-Box: The compact external controller is used for fast D / A conversion or for the synchronous processing of two sensor signals. The high-end triangulation displacement sensor is designed for the precise measurement of fast objects. The sensor is used to measure the path of diffuse reflective materials and shiny, porous or rough surfaces.
rauscher40215The Basler ACE industrial cameras (Rauscher sales) with resolutions of 3856 x 2764 pixels and 4608 x 3288 pixels are equipped with the latest generation of Aptina CMOS sensors MT9F002 and MT9J003. With these sensitive 1 /2.3 “sensors, you offer more flexibility in the choice of optics and benefit from the Aptina A-Pix technology, which guarantees improved sensitivity despite smaller pixels.
