Linear Motor Transport System
Bosch Rexroth, bosch.us
The TS 2 Booster was developed as a component for the established TS 2plus and helps the multi-faceted transfer system to achieve more flexibility. The rapid intake system takes the workpiece pallet from linear motor-driven sections and accelerates it to 3 g. This reduces cycle times as the workpieces spend less unproductive time before and in the stations. The TS 2 Booster is applicable in the automotive, electronics production, and health care sectors, as well as in controlled environments and clean rooms. It has a maximum acceleration of 3 g/30 m/s² and can reach speeds of up to 3 m/s. It transports workpieces with a length of between 160mm and 640mm and a width of between 160mm and 400mm. Depending on the workpiece pallet size, it is suitable for loads weighing up to 40 kg. In the process, it achieves a workpiece pallet changeover time of up to 0.5 seconds.
Cable Certifier
Softing, itnetworks.softing.com
The WireXpert 500 is a cable certifier that targets copper cables up to Cat 6A. Featuring a modular concept and unique licensing system, the WireXpert 500 is a tool for cable system certification in industrial settings, laboratories, data centers, and office environments. Softing has found that the overwhelming majority of cabling contractors require Ethernet copper cable certification up to Cat 6A and has developed its WireXpert 500 to target these contractors. By enabling cable certification up to Cat 6A only, the WireXpert 500 fits more than 95% of contractor requirements. Contractors can also upgrade WireXpert 500 units to certify copper cabling through Cat 8 or fiber optic cabling.

Modular Linear Motion System
Robotunits, robotunits.com
The Standard Linear Motion Unit includes 50-millimeter aluminum extrusions and a 14mm T-slot, making it compatible with other Robotunits systems. These key elements—along with the company’s proprietary fastening technology—enable the Linear Motion System to work in combination with Robotunits’ conveyors, material handling components, safety fencing, and machine frames. The unit is available with a single or double carriage, and the system allows the energy chain to attach directly to the carriage without the need for additional components. For advanced applications, the Omega Linear Motion Unit can be used as an individual device or x-y-z gantry to move and position parts with precision.

Featuring CMOS sensors with back side illumination, the new T3610 and TMX5010 cameras sustain their image throughput with optimized light sensitivity for high frame rates and sub-microsecond exposures. Joining the T-Series platform, the T3610 achieves a significantly higher frame rate of 38,040 frames per second at 1280x800 resolution and up to 875,000 frames per second at reduced resolutions. The T3610 also features a compact form factor and low power requirements. The TMX5010 joins the pre-existing TMX6410 and 7510 cameras as the entry point to the TMX family. Benefits include a higher RAM capacity of up to 512 GB, a higher partition offering 511 segments, standard 10 GB Ethernet with a rugged RJ45 port, and the ability to upgrade to higher throughput models at a later date.
Industrial Alternator
Nidec, nidec.com
The LSA 47.3 delivers a rated power between 410 and 660 kVA at 50 Hz (495 to 825 kVA at 60 Hz). The 660 kVA rating (825 kVA at 60 Hz) was previously held by the LSA 49.3. This is a significant benefit for generator set manufacturers as the same power is made available through a more compact machine. The alternator also features a shunt excitation system with a R250 regulator as standard. An AREP auxiliary winding excitation system with D350 digital regulator version is also available to improve transient performances and provide high overload capacities. A D550 digital regulator can also be used for grid connected applications. A permanent magnet generator excitation system is also available as an option.
