“The DVT 515 and 535 are not limited to a single or even a few generic machine vision functions, but handle a much broader range of applications than similarly-priced vision sensors,” said Kris Nelson, Cognex Senior Vice President, Vision Sensors. “It's also very easy for users to combine vision tools to inspect, measure, count, find features and compare patterns in order to automate inspection and ensure quality in a variety of applications and industries.”

Performance Supervision Software now includes a simple color-coded interaction map. On this map, users can quickly identify the most important process interactions. Process Interaction Mapping also displays lead and lag data, making it much easier to find the root cause of process upsets.

GE Fanuc Automation, Inc., a unit of GE Industrial, today announced the availability of its second Productivity Pack for Proficy HMI/SCADA iFIX, CIMPLICITY and View customers.

Moore Industries' T2X-DWB Wall-Mount Room Air Temperature Monitoring System is designed for monitoring indoor conditions in production facilities—such as in semiconductor, micro-electronics, pharmaceuticals and biotech processes—where maintaining stable ambient temperature is required for on-spec product and predictable yields.

Rugged versions of the R-Series and G-Series magnetostrictive linear position sensor products are ideal for the most extreme application environments, such as those found in materials testing and the production of metal, wood and plastic products.

Portescap N Series Slotted Brushless DC Motors are available in size 5, 6, 9 and 11, ideal for medical and electronic assembly applications where high speed is key, and in sizes 12, 14 and 15 for industrial applications where high torque is required.

The GLM20 complete 1-axis positioning system offers the highest acceleration/deceleration, and lowest noise levels, in its class.

MTL-Relcom has launched four 12-port versions of the best-selling Megablock wiring hub for use in modern fieldbus networks. The FCS-MB12-SG-T, F215, F271 and F271-XE feature an integrated switched and switchable terminator respectively thus increasing the range of options to include 2-, 4-, 8-, 10- and 12-drop versions.

With the new CX9000 Embedded PC, Beckhoff Automation shrinks PC-based control technology into a compact, I/O Bus Coupler-size housing. Despite the miniature size and the exceptionally affordable $500 price tag, the CX9000 offers ample computing capacity – even for complex automation tasks – and includes a 100MB Ethernet connection as standard. A key feature of the CX9000 is an energy-saving 266 MHz Intel IXP420 CPU with XScale technology that runs Microsoft Windows CE as the operating system.

Micro Speed-E-Chain is an ideal alternative to busways, busbars, festoons and other types of electrification supplies. It offers all the benefits of a traditional Energy Chain cable carrier, including cable protection, extension of service life and elimination of maintenance and downtime. Micro Speed-E-Chain is designed for storage and retrieval systems, extendable conveyors, material handling applications and tool changers.
