Machining Point Control’s Acceleration Rate Sensor Unit simultaneously detects the acceleration rate at the machine of three axes. The servo system software then uses the detected acceleration rate to control the motor’s motion to reduce vibration, stabilizing the machine at the tool tip and enabling precision machining and quick positioning.

With the Extio(TM) F1400 solution, the user interface of the computer -- the keyboard, mouse, monitors, audio peripherals, and graphics hardware -- are separated from the rest of the computer by up to 250 meters (820 feet) of fiber-optic cable.

A state-of-the-art, two-wire, loop powered device, the WT5200 is designed for challenging bulk solids measurement applications. The transmitter is unaffected by dust or feed flow, accurately measuring the level of materials with dielectric constants as low as 1.3, such as plastic pellets, or fly ash.

The new GLL limit switch comes in a compact and lightweight RoHS compliant package at a price that is up to 40% lower than comparable products. Potential OEM applications include elevators, escalators, aerial platform lifts, packaging equipment and industrial doors.

Version 1.2 of xCoupler enterprise transaction module provides a bi-directional interface between Allen-Bradley ControlLogix PLCs and IBM WebSphere MQ systems for simple two-tier communications.
