SMC Pneumatics LEHZJ Two-Finger Electric Gripper with Dust Cover

If you need a high quality, easy to program, electric gripper with IP50 enclosure compatibility, then look no further than SMC's new Series LEHZJ. With similar operational performance and energy saving benefits as their LEHZ electric gripper range, the new LEHZJ model has been designed with a sealed dust cover to eliminate dust, grease splatters or machine cutting particles from entering the internal parts of the gripper.

Depending on your application, the dust cover can be selected from a choice of materials including chloroprene rubber, fluororubber or silicon rubber and as the cover has been designed without any protrusions, the gripper will not interfere with other installed equipment. The LEHZJ range is particularly suitable for eliminating dust contamination of the gripper in paper, moulding and ceramic industries.

Pepperl+Fuchs ENX Series AS-Interface Gateways

Pepperl+Fuchs introduces ENX Series AS-Interface Gateways. The ENX series supports both Modbus/TCP and Ethernet/IP protocols for seamless communication with standard and safety networks in a single gateway. They also include a number of advanced features for enhanced network performance and diagnostics retrieval.

“These gateways provide significantly more than just an easy transition from Ethernet to AS-Interface. Where in the past two separate gateways were required to connect to Modbus/TCP and Ethernet/IP, with ENX the entire AS-Interface network is controlled by a single, very powerful, AS-Interface gateway,” says Tim Cicerchi, Product Manager, Industrial Bus and ID Systems, Pepperl+Fuchs.

With ENX gateways, 992 I/O are handled asynchronous to the Ethernet traffic. These fast gateways also scan every AS-i node in 150µs, which enables up to 62 safety e-stops, magnetic switches, and safe outputs to be in one easy to use safety program.

Single master, dual master and dual master with built in safety monitor versions are available to satisfy various AS-Interface application requirements. All models come standard with integrated duplicate address, noise, and ground fault detection functionality. Dual network versions feature redundant power supply connections where either power supply can fail, and the gateway will continue to run while reporting the error to the upper level system.

Options of note include a 16-channel safety version with up to 4 onboard safety channels, where up to 16 channels can be remotely activated using safe output modules. An available memory card enables users to quickly and easily program remote gateways, and to transfer a gateway's configuration and safety program from a failed gateway to a replacement.

“The built in memory card is a very innovative approach to reducing downtime. In the past a maintenance engineer or programmer would have to get a laptop out and connect using Ethernet or RS232 serial connections. Only then could a download be made to a new gateway. Now a simple swap of memory cards and a few key presses on the keypad will transfer the data automatically,” explains Cicerchi.

Gateways are modules that form an interface between the AS-Interface and higher-level buses. Users can install gateways to provide a solution for complex applications using standard products. The gateways act as a slave for the higher-level bus.

Pepperl+Fuchs is a world leader in the design, manufacture and application of high quality factory and process automation products and services. Pepperl+Fuchs pioneered the development of proximity sensors 50 years ago, and has set the standard for innovation and quality ever since.

Banner Engineering WORLD-BEAM Q20 Sensors

The WORLD-BEAM Q20 product line is a complete product offering of high performance sensors in rectangular housings. The Q20 provides excellent optical performance in a world-wide standard sensor housing with 25.4 mm (1 inch) mounting hole spacing. The target markets are material handling, robotic assembly cells, packaging machinery for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical goods, and people detection in turn-styles and gates.

With the addition of the visible red fixed field background suppression models and increased detection range opposed mode sensors, Banner has expanded the number of applications the Q20 series can solve. The high performance optical design of the fixed field Q20 series is evident in the small emitter beam and well focused optics which provide increased sensing range, out to 150 mm (6 inches) and greater immunity to objects beyond the fixed detection range. Combined with electronic immunity to fluorescent light sources, the Q20 fixed field sensors will result in more reliable and more stable detection in all applications.

As a part of Banner’s continuous improvement program, the opposed mode sensor lenses were improved resulting in additional sensing range of 2 m in the visible red models, and an additional 5 m range in the infra-red models. Sensor apertures are available to shape the effective sensing beam to the part being detected, and polarized filter pairs allow multiple opposed mode sensor pairs to be used in close proximity without cross talk.

FEATURES

• Photoelectric sensors in a compact, rugged, sealed, over-molded plastic housing
• Stable and reliable detection in a world-wide sensor housing.
• Fixed Field Background Suppression models have small emitter beam optics to avoid false detection beyond cut-off better than ever before.
