ARCHMI Series
APLEX realised that the global automation market needs a human-machine interface (HMI) which is highly expandable and customisable to satisfy a broad range of industries and applications. Designed for customers who need perfect integration, the ARCHMI series can be tailored to meet a wide range of end-user requirements. The ARCHMI series features IP65-rated flat panels, fanless enclosures, multitouch capability, extensive expansion options, optional wide temperature support, optional sunlight readable anti-scratch screens, and optional optical bonding.
The ARCHMI series can be customised with a variety of I/O expansion modules and connectivity options. Eleven TB-528 series Mini-PCIe expansion modules are available and providing support for LAN, USB, and COM ports, as well as POE and CANbus.
The ARCHMI series is available with 7-32-inch TFT-LCD displays and supports both resistive or projected capacitive touchscreens. The optional optical bonding of the LCD screen minimises reflections, reduces condensation, and eliminates any dust between the layers to provide a longer service life with improved appearance. Constructed in a corrosion resistance aluminium heatsink style die-cast enclosure, the ARCHMI Series inherently provides very effective fanless thermal cooling. The design also allows easy access to the system’s internal hard disk or solid-state drive storage device. With Intel processor support for Celeron N2930 and 6th Gen. Core i3/i5 with up to 16GB of memory the ARCHMI Series can be optimised to meet the computing requirements of any application. In addition, a wide range 9-36VDC input voltage allows the ARCHMI Series to be power from almost any power source.
BOGE desiccant dryer
Compressed air is used in a highly diverse range of industries. The quality and purity of the air will be subject to the different requirements for that industry.
The highest standard is usually required for the food and medical industries.
The benefit of a desiccant or adsorption dryer is that it can achieve a dewpoint of minus 40°C with the option of up to minus 70°C. This removes impurities such as oil mist and other odours. This is not possible with a refrigerated air dryer. Maintaining a reduced dewpoint will not only prevent corrosion but will also inhibit the growth of micro-organisms within the compressed air system.
BOGE adsorbtion dryers offer the required solution for many different industries to achieve the required stringent standards for their specific application.
The range of BOGE adsorption dryers for industrial air treatment include a stand-alone adsorbtion dryer model DAZ, a stand-alone Carbon Adsorber model DCZ and the model DACZ combining both the dryer and the Carbon
Adsorber. These models are applied for all industrial solutions. This Includes food processing, chemical and pharmaceutical, aerospace engineering, paper manufacturing and wherever electrical or electronics are involved.
For medical and breathing air the models DASZP comply with Australian
Standards AS2568 and AS1715 achieving the required CO and CO2 levels for these applications. This includes the medical and health care industries, industrial breathing air, defence, mining, laboratory and research institutes.
Industrial automation has evolved significantly in recent years and the ARCHMI Series has been designed to keep up with the challenges of Industry 4.0 and IoT. While the ARCHMI Series focuses on smart factory automation it is equally at home in commercial environments including building control, transportation, retailing and education.

igus hybrid cable for new motor generation
In order to supply modern motors with energy and data, users need appropriate cables that function dependably even at high accelerations and on long travels. Especially for use in motion, igus has now developed a hybrid cable that is offered as a drive solution for the new Bosch Rexroth motors. Available from Treotham, it combines energy and data cable in one and is therefore also suitable for compact installation spaces. Treotham offers the cable as a fully harnessed readycable that is accurate to the centimetre. This saves costs for users.
Ever smaller and more compact with an even higher output: such a trend is becoming increasingly apparent in the field of motor development. But not only the motor but also the cables used must meet the new requirements. Hybrid cables are one solution. They combine energy and data supply in one by integrating the encoder cable into the servo cable. This eliminates the need for cabling with a separate measuring system for the encoder. Especially for use in the energy chain, igus has now developed a new hybrid cable suitable for Bosch Rexroth MS2N and IndraDrive Mi motors. A halogen-free PUR outer jacket ensures oil resistance and increases the service life of the cable. The user receives the drive solution already fully harnessed with connector as the so-called readycable from Treotham.
All cables are tested and inspected under real conditions in the company’s own 3,800 sqm test laboratory. Tests have shown that the new hybrid cable with a bend radius of up to 10xd in the e-chain can safely withstand 10 million double strokes over the long term. Due to the realistic tests, igus is the only cable manufacturer in the world capable of providing a 36-month guarantee on its chainflex cables. In Backplane Systems Technology is proud to present Neousys Nuvo-7531 Compact Fanless Embedded Computer with Intel 9th/8th-Gen Core processor, compact dimensions, gigabit Ethernet, and USB ports with screw-lock mechanisms. Powered by an Intel 9th/ 8th-Gen Core 65W/ 35W CPU that offers more than 50 per cent computation performance improvement over the previous generation, the Nuvo-7531 series is a fanless embedded computer with a 212 x 165 x 63 mm low-profile chassis. The Nuvo-7531 has an abundance of I/O connections. It features four Gigabit Ethernet and Four USB3.1 Ports with screw-lock for multiple Gigabit Ethernet and USB camera connections. The screw-lock design offers rugged connectivity by ensuring the connector is screwed-on and does not fall off easily. For data storage purposes, there is a hot-swappable HDD tray to hot-swap the storage drive without turning off the system or dismantle the chassis. In addition, Nuvo-7531 supports three mPCIe slots for expansion so WIFI or 3G/ 4G modules can be installed to achieve wireless communication. For convenience, there is a pet-door at the bottom of the enclosure for easy installation or maintenance of mPCIe and M.2 modules. Overall, for a compact embedded computer, Nuvo-7531 delivers good computing power and provides rich I/O connectivity. It is an ideal solution for a variety of industrial applications that require a certain degree of processing power but limited total, igus has over 4,200 drive cables suitable for 24 manufacturer standards in its readycable range. For a quick selection of the suitable solution, with the readycable product finder igus offers a practical online tool. Simply enter the igus part number or the manufacturer or select the name of the drive manufacturer from the menu; then click on the required cable type and the product finder will list all matching parts. An overview provides the different cable qualities such as outer jacket, bend radius, travel and price. The integrated service life calculator also determines the running time.
