Smart Mechatronics Platform
Bosch Rexroth, bosch.com The Smart MechatroniX platform combines linear motion technology components with electronics and software, resulting in plug-and-play software modules for a variety of applications. The platform’s Smart Function Kit offers quick and intuitive commissioning and configuration for processes such as joining, pressing, and handling. It works according to the plug-and-produce principle by combining preselected mechanical and electronic components with software. The modular toolbox consists of an electromechanical cylinder, a force sensor, a motor, a servo drive, a motion controller, and a software package that enables commissioning and operation as well as process analysis.
Linear Position Sensor
Harold G. Schaevitz Industries, hgsind.com The ILPS-18S Series of spring-loaded inductive linear position sensors is designed for dimensional gauging and position measurements in commercial, industrial, and military applications. With their compact design and strong stroke-to-length ratio, ILPS-18S sensors are suitable for test stands, test laboratories, automated assembly machines, processing and packaging equipment, robotics, and automotive test applications. Other features include: Measuring ranges from 13mm to 100mm; service life rated to over 100 million cycles; and axial termination with either M12 connector or integral cable.
Graphics, Vision, and AI Computer
Abaco Systems, abaco.com The GVC1001 is a graphics, vision, artificial intelligence (AI), and image processing computer. Using Nvidia’s latest AI and deep learningenabled Nvidia Jetson AGX Xavier system on module, it is able to meet the demands and challenges of very low SWaP graphics, vision, AI, and sensor computing applications within industrial platforms. The GVC1001 computer also features dual 10GigE ports for gigabit Ethernet camera or other sensor inputs. These can be used standalone or partnered with Abaco’s 24-port gigabit Ethernet switch, the RES3000 for GigE camera or other sensor aggregation. In addition, the unit provides dual 1GigE ports for additional gigabit Ethernet cameras, control plane functionality or other sensors; dual CAN ports to transmit and receive data; and USB 3.0, USB 2.0, UARTS, audio I/O, and GPIO.
I/O Slices for Temperature Control
Trio Motion Technology, triomotion.uk Trio Motion technology has launched two new I/O slices that enable OEMs to measure and control temperature as well as connect three-wire devices within a compact footprint. The new P367 thermocouple slice expands Trio’s motion controllers with temperature measurement and control. 16-bit resolution ensures flexibility in applications ranging from temperature measurement and monitoring to control of hot melt glue and sealing applications. Four thermocouple inputs and outputs can be used to control a heater or other switched load. In addition, Trio is releasing the P362 Power Connect module which enables integration of sensors, relays, and output devices. The module simplifies connection of three-wire sensors into the I/O system and removes the footprint and cost required for additional terminals.
