Banner Engineering's high speed DF-G2 fiber amplifiers now offer several LED colors to maximize contrast in challenging low-contrast applications. For example, a green LED generates more signal difference (i.e. contrast) when detecting a red mark on a white background than a red LED can generate. White, green, blue and infrared LED colors are available to cover the broadest range of applications. The IR LED model is especially useful with “T5” terminated glass fiber assemblies and provides almost two times more detection range than the red LED.
The DF-G2 series is the high-speed version of the DF-G fiber optic amplifier family. The DF-G2 was designed to achieve the world’s fastest response speed and precise repeatability for fiber optic sensing applications. A much brighter LED and a more effective coupled optical system was designed to extend sensing range and improve speed. The result is a sensor that can achieve 10 microsecond response time with 5 microsecond repeatability.

Pepperl+Fuchs introduces the R2000 Detection Laser Scanner. Smaller than most coffee mugs, these 2D laser scanners feature a 360-degree gapless measurement angle with angular resolution within 0.071 degrees, scan frequency to 30 Hz and object detection down to 1 mm. An eye-safe visible red laser simplifies alignment and, because the light spot is up to 15 times smaller than competitive technology, it enables precise detection of very small objects or reflectors. R2000 Detection Scanners can also detect objects up to 10 m away and reflectors up to 30 m away, with measurement repeatability that is always within 12 mm of true distance value. A 360 degree LED display provides quick visual status indication.
“R2000 Detection scanners set a new standard for intuitive, user-friendly and precise laser scanner performance. They come equipped with discrete I/O and four user-configurable detection fields that can be edited and assigned to a specific, discrete output with intuitive and free software,” says Michael Turner, Product Manager – Photoelectric Sensing. “Additionally, these scanners measure distance with true time-of-flight Pulse Ranging Technology (PRT), which means distance measurement is not limited by the geometric layout of the sensor optics. Consequently, compact PRT sensors deliver significantly greater detection ranges than is attainable with triangulation based sensors, while still providing a high degree of accuracy and repeatability.”
High angular resolution and positioning accuracy combined with simple setup make R2000 Detection well-suited for use in material handling applications as well as building automation and transport management. In fact their innovative features provide significant advantages for use in many other areas, too, regardless of the industry.
Potential applications include, but are not limited to, detecting protrusions or obstacles over large area, collision avoidance on overhead monorails, detecting small overhangs such as damaged pallets, monitoring entryways and exits, controlling the height of pallets on palletizers, and verifying empty, full, or overfilled cartons on conveyors.
These IP65 rated scanners have an anticipated operating life of 20 years in operating temperatures from -10 ... 50 °C (14 ... 122 °F). R2000 Detection offers 4 digital I/O channels. Each channel can be configured as an input or as an output (NPN or PNP).

Littelfuse, Inc., the global leader in circuit protection, has introduced the compact 777 Series Fuse to provide protection for higher-wattage wall-mount chargers for battery-powered electronic equipment. Although chargers for earlier generations of mobile phones had relatively low wattage (typically about 5W), today’s highly compact chargers must often be able to handle 10-15W of power, which requires withstanding higher levels of current. The axial lead, 3.6mm x 9mm 777 Series Fuse incorporates an innovative type of filler material that provides a finely tuned balance between the surge tolerance necessary to prevent nuisance fuse tripping with the fuse’s ability to open safely when a short-circuit occurs. The 777 Series’ robust design lets it withstand up to 24 hits of 7.5kV ringwave surge; it will open safely on a direct short condition without producing soot, sparks, and sounds. Typical applications include wall-mount smartphone and tablet chargers and 10‑20W power supply modules for other battery-powered consumer electronics.
“From the consumer perspective, everybody wants their mobile electronic devices to recharge quickly, so they can get back to using them in the way they were intended. The 777 Series Fuse allows circuit designers to engineer fast, compact, and economical chargers that don’t compromise user safety,” said Daniel Wang, product manager for the 777 Series Fuse line. “Circuit designers can count on Littelfuse for robust fuse design and superior manufacturing quality.”
FEATURES
- Its high interrupting rating design ensures the fuse will open safely under short-circuit conditions without producing soot, sparks, or popping noises.
- The high surge withstand capability prevents nuisance tripping of the fuse caused by transient surges.
- The fuse’s 3.6mm x 9mm footprint conserves board space, which makes it suitable for use in compact wall-mount charger designs.
- Its epoxy coating provides insulation on the vertically mounted fuse body.

Schneider Electric has expanded its wireless push button line with the dual-action transmitter that works as an electronic momentary switch allowing for more precise movements while still providing all the same benefits as the existing offer. In addition, the dual-action transmitter reduces the number of push buttons essential for remote control stations such as "jogging" a conveyor belt forward. The way the new dual-action transmitter works is it provides a two pulse signal from a single press and release. One signal is sent when the button is pressed and another is sent when the button is released.
