Compact Barcode Reader

Cognex, cognex.com The DataMan 280 Series of fixed-mount barcode readers are engineered for a broad range of ID use cases, including 1D, 2D, and direct part mark code applications in manufacturing and logistics. The readers feature a high-resolution sensor combined with a dynamic image formation system to improve code handling and coverage. With its use of Cognex Edge Intelligence, Dataman 280 provides web browser connectivity, device management, performance monitoring, and rapid image offloading. This allows end users to configure multiple devices at once and begin trending system performance metrics quickly.

Multipedal Footswitches

Herga, herga.com Series 6225, 6226, and 6227 footpedals from Herga provide an ergonomic option for OEMs seeking switching equipment that can be flexibly adapted to precise machine control needs. The footpedals can be used to expand machine switching controls on-site and design equipment switching requirements using modular components across a range of machines with varying functionality. Herga’s Modular Base System offers electrical switching ratings up to mains voltage levels for light- to medium-duty machine applications. The company has also developed a range of standard variants for the industrial modular base system to combine commonly specified 6225, 6226 and 6227 series footswitches and single 6241 or 6244 puckswitches, including Bluetooth and USB switching options. The footswitches are available in a range of colors and can be supplied with customer specified labels. Other options—including LEDs, screen printing, and special electrical and wireless interfacing—are available in OEM quantities on request.

Ultra-Small Gimbal Motors

Orbex, orbexgroup.com Orbex’s new gimbal motors are engineered to minimize cogging torque, ensuring smooth rotation for stable imaging or pointing. Because these brushless motors are electronically commutated, they can change speeds quickly and offer high reliability. Orbex gimbal motors are lightweight and available in two sizes: 16 millimeters (OD) by 10 millimeters (H) and 26 millimeters (OD) by 12 millimeters (H). In addition to these standard units, Orbex can engineer motors according to end users requirements, with special windings, connector configurations or mounting interfaces. The motors also allow users to integrate a magnetic encoder for feedback.

Multisensor for Measurement and Switching

Leuze, leuze.com The ODT 3C transmits measurement values and diagnostic data via IO-Link. The data includes temperature values, warnings, and signal quality. It also features black-and-white behavior (< ± 3 millimeter at 150 millimeter). The operating range can be adjusted via the teach button, line, or IO-Link. Active ambient light suppression in the ODT 3C prevents faulty switching, even when exposed to direct light from LED hall lighting systems. LEDs that are easily visible from all sides allow end users to read the status of the ODT 3C. Additional functionality such as two independent switching outputs and models with warning output enable the ODT 3C sensor’s use in a range of applications.
