SMC Pneumatics LESH_D Electric Slide Table/In-Line Motor Type

Machine builders using electric slide tables for positioning, aligning, transporting and pick and place applications now have a space saving option following the launch SMC Pneumatics' new Series LESH[ ]D.

Developed for general industry use, these slide tables are around 45% narrower than previous SMC models but still offer outstanding performance. With adjustable speed, thrust and positioning up to 64 points, these actuators can operate at speeds up to 400 mm/s, with positioning repeatability of ± 0.05 mm and thrust between 15N to 180N depending on the selected model.

• Combines the repeatability and precision of an electric actuator with a high-precision slide table.
• Same specifications as Series LESH, with motor mounting position in-line with cylinder bore.
• Easy-to-use teaching box requires only 2 inputs: position and speed.
• Programmable up to 64 positions.

New IDEC MicroSmart Pentra Products

As part of their Automation and Beyond strategy, IDEC is releasing three new products into the MicroSmart Pentra family.

• Embedded Ethernet MicroSmart Pentra CPU
• PID control module
• 4-pt analog output module

The new embedded Ethernet MicroSmart Pentra with web server functions boasts powerful features that no competitor in the micro PLCs market can match. With an embedded 10/100Mbps RJ45 ethernet port and remote connectivity, communication can be done at a faster speed. These controllers not only support Modbus TCP, but also have the capability to send up to 255 email messages with dynamic data and have 1MB for a user web page. These PLCs can be configured to communicate with WindLDR software, IE/Firefox/Safari web browsers, WindSRV OPC software, HG operator interface, and Modbus TCP, all at the same time. Up to 14 simultaneous connections can be established! The new embedded Ethernet MicroSmart Pentra is available in two CPU models with 12 I/O configurations (8 DC inputs and 4 transistor sink or source outputs). All existing FC4A and FC5A expansion modules and accessories are compatible. As standard on the MicroSmart Pentra slim CPU, up to fifteen expansion modules can be configured.

Two new PID modules are now available for more precise and complex PID controls. These new PID modules satisfy the most demanding applications for any type of temperature controls and are available in two configurations; with built-in 2-pt universal analog inputs and 2-pt analog or relay outputs. Up to 4 PID modules can be configured in the 24 I/O All-in-one FC5A CPU and up to 7 on the slim FC5A CPU.

A 4-pt analog output (0-10VDC, 4/20mA) module is also now available. This new module is compatible with all current FC5A CPUs. With this new module, applications that require up to 28 analog outputs can be solved.

To utilize the new functions of the embedded Ethernet MicroSmart Pentra, PID modules and 4-pt analog module, a new Automation Organizer v1.51 with WindLDR v6.41 is available. Please visit our website for free upgrades.

IDEC HG3G Operator Interface Touchscreen Update

IDEC has made some big changes to their HG3G OI Touchscreens, their 8.4- and 10.4-inch TFT color displays, in response to customer demand! And to implement them, you don’t even need to buy an additional hardware or software tool! That’s right, just upgrade the touchscreen’s firmware to A.O. software version 1.51 and just like that, new features and enhancements to all HG3G OITs in minutes! What are these great changes?

Remote Monitor and Control
In addition to the remote access capability of IDEC OI Touchscreens and PLCs to upload, download and use Pass through programming via the Ethernet, you can now remotely monitor and control IDEC HG3G Touchscreens from your computer, PDA or Smartphone using a web browser. This will allow you to remotely see the same information shown on the touchscreen. You can monitor the same values and statuses, as well as control them by clicking the pushbuttons to change statuses/operations, print, switch screens or change values as if you were right in front of your touchscreen.

This is an efficient way to troubleshoot, test and do maintenance regardless of location. Whether on vacation or at an office thousands of miles away, less time and money spent on travel is savings in your pocket.

• No additional software tool or module required
• Up to 5 clients can remotely monitor and control at the same time using a web browser (IE8, Firefox, Safari, Chrome or Opera)
• Simple configuration to enable remote monitoring and control - it’s easy as checking a box to enable the function in WindOI-NV2 software

Banner Engineering EZ-LIGHT K50 Beacon

The EZ-LIGHT K50 indicator from Banner Engineering was developed for areas where high brightness is needed with viewing from all directions. They are intended for indoor and outdoor for general status indication including areas with high levels of ambient light that would normally wash out a standard indicator light.

Features

• Intense levels of light output for outdoor applications
• Perimeter and top view models available
• Rugged, sealed thermoplastic housing rated for IP67 and IP69K
• Cabled and quick-disconnect models available
• 12 to 30V dc or 85 -130V ac (75 to 120V dc) operation, depending on model
