Fast, Machine-mounted I/O
The EP1258 EtherCat Box is designed to dramatically improve performance of I/O systems installed in harsh locations. With this I/O device, the vendor’s eXtreme Fast Control technology (XFC) is now available in a rugged and compact IP 67 housing that allows installation directly on machines without an extra control cabinet, providing space savings and cost reductions. The EP1258 XFC box detects digital input signals with a highly precise resolution of 1ns directly on the machine... Read more
All-metals Detection at 5mm
The compact Q10S proximity sensor is the latest addition to the vendor’s line of advanced factor 1 sensors. At a size of 10x10x28mm, it can achieve sensing distances of up to 5mm, depending on mounting configuration. The sensors feature an active side face and detect all metals—including aluminum, copper and steel—at the same rated distance without requiring reinstallation, saving labor costs over traditional ferrite-core proximity sensors...

Converters Offer “Green” Alternative
The RCU Series of regenerative converter units are designed to offer an affordable “green” alternative to traditional dynamic braking (DB) systems. Instead of wasting regenerative energy as heat, these converters reclaim that energy, converting it into 3-phase alternating current (AC) power. The energy is recycled through the AC line, resulting in increased energy efficiency and reduced energy consumption... Read more
ASIC-based Sensors Withstand Washdowns
W12-3 Photoelectric Sensors for harsh washdown environments use a third-generation custom ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) that incorporates OES3 technology for background and foreground suppression at an extended range. An OES3 chip contains proprietary technology that enables the sensors to ignore stray background reflections, detect multi-colored/shiny objects, and provide high immunity to ambient light...

Eliminate Light Screen Dead Zones
The EZ-Screen family of safety light screens has been expanded to include low-profile models designed to pair a space-saving footprint with reliable performance. The first and last beams of the EZ-Screen Low Profile (LP) are positioned at the ends of the light screen, delivering continuous detection along the entire light screen length and eliminating the dead zones found on traditional safety light curtains...
