The software for programming the modules of the Gemnis series is available in the new Gemnis Studio version 12 which has a fully updated graphic layout and new programming functionality. With retractable side panels housing the sensors and function blocks, the field available for working in the programme is now larger and neater, with the option of choosing between light and dark display themes. The advanced menu groups the sensors according to electrical type so as to guide the programmer in choosing the correct sensor for the project. New function blocks with mathematical functions have been introduced which are very useful for applications with frequency inputs for speed control or with current inputs for analogue sensors. Another important new feature is the option of disabling the test pulses of the PNP safety outputs. The electronic safety outputs of the Gemnis modules are always protected and monitored for dangerous faults. In order to perform this monitoring, test impulses (i.e. very short switch-offs of the outputs) are created in the safety outputs while the outputs are active. These test impulses are generally undetectable on passive loads (contactors or similar); in rare cases, however, they can disturb the inputs of digital devices such as PLCs or electronic drives. With Gemnis Studio 12, it is possible to disable the test impulses of the PNP safety outputs in cases where the application requires it. Faults such as short-circuits to the external positive pole are still detectable when the outputs are switched off. The new Gemnis Studio 12 software is completely retro-compatible and capable of programming modules from previous generations equipped with Kernel 10 or 11. The new software incorporates a new remote support management system which allows you to receive help from Pizzato technical support directly from the Gemnis Studio software window with just a few clicks.

The NS series safety switches with solenoid and RFID technology, now come with the new mode 3 for safety output activation. In the versions with mode 1 the OS safety outputs are active when the actuator is both inserted and locked, so that the actuator cannot be extracted with safety outputs activated. Mode 2 allows the actuator to be released while keeping the safety chain enabled. Mode 3 combines the functions of modes 1 and 2: a safety output is active when the actuator is both inserted and locked, while the second safety output is active when the actuator is only inserted. This allows two single-channel independent circuits to be combined in a single device and to emulate traditional electromechanical interlocking devices with guard locking, without complex machine wiring modifications. The management of the two channels also includes the inputs, so that multiple devices can be connected in series.

NG series safety switches with RFID technology are now available with integrated buttons, for control and signalling functions. Buttons can be easily wired inside the switch through terminal blocks with a PUSH-IN spring connection. In order to meet the various needs of its customers, Pizzato Elettrica provides different configurations and combinations of control and signalling devices for the NG safety switch: buttons, signalling lights, emergency buttons, selectors, different contact blocks etc. Buttons can be illuminated in a fast and intuitive way through the internal terminals for wiring the LEDs. NG safety switches with control devices can be combined with the P-KUBE 2 handle to obtain a compact and solid metal body, incorporating an RFID safety switch with a pin for the centering of the door, an anti-panic release, an adjustable handle with a lock-out device to be closed with a padlock and a control console.

Through the approval according to international standards of our products and our global service network, we are the first point of contact for control- and switch disconnectors worldwide.

Design details fulfill specific requirements The Neugart NDF gearbox meets these special requirements with numerous technical details: For example, the gearbox enables extremely fast changes of direction thanks to a low-inertia clamping system at the input stage, which improves the dynamics and thus the cycle time of the robot. At the same time, the torsional backlash is limited to <1 arcmin as a standard feature. The gearbox with the frame size 090 operates with three specially designed planetary gears in the input stage and four in the output stage. This significantly increases the torsional stiffness and the transmittable torque. Four two-stage transmission ratios, each between i=22 and i=55, are available. The output of the NDF has also received special attention in order to optimally meet the specific requirements of a Delta robot: The gear ratio at the output is i=5.5, which allows transmission of very high torques. The flanged output shaft with torque interface has 12 threaded holes (M8 instead of the usual M6), the output flange has 16 holes (instead of the standard eight for each). The gearbox output shaft only rotates back and forth through a limited angle in Delta robots because of their design, making lubrication more difficult. An optimized radial shaft sealing ring in the NDF ensures optimum sealing of the shaft during rapid changes of direction. A food-grade oil lubrication system is available as an option for the NDF. As an additional option, the NDF can be equipped with a stainless steel output shaft and a nickel-plated output flange. These options increase the corrosion resistance of the gearbox. As a result, it also tolerates frequent cleaning with aggressive media, which is essential in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

AventicsTM XV : flexible, and compact pneumatic valve System for factory automation.

Compared to conventional vision sensors, the IV4 series AI vision sensor automatically adjusts all image and detection settings using artificial intelligence. The powerful AI enables the sensor to be set up quickly and easily with maximum stability. The IV4 Series can detect parts without using position adjustment, can check if the correct amount of parts are in their proper location, and can read and count targets under tough conditions by using the new AI-OCR tool. Increased brightness, wide-and-narrow field-of-view options, and highly optimized built-in hardware mean that the IV4 is highly stable against environmental concerns like ambient lighting or slight finish changes. Even applications that are difficult for conventional vision sensors can be solved easily with the IV4 and its AI tools.

When compared with other gear technologies, FLEXWAVE offers the following advantages: +Exceptional Repeatability and Positional Accuracy +Zero Backlash +High Torque Density +High Efficiency Ratings +High Reduction Ratios in a Single Stage +Lightweight and Compact +High Torsional Stiffness +Fully Back Drivable These characteristics enable FLEXWAVE to be the superior choice for Robotics, Machine Tool, Medical Equipment, Semiconductor Manufacturing, Satellite Communications and Assembly Automation applications.

NIVOSWITCH vibrating fork level switches with parallel swinging forks are suitable for detecting the level of liquids. Mounted on pipes and tanks, they can control filling/emptying and also generate fail-safe alarms that provide overflow or dry-running protection. The operating principle is based on the fact that the electronic circuit stimulates a vibration in the fork probe. When the medium reaches and covers the fork, its vibration changes. The fork begins to swing freely again when the medium releases it. The electronics detect the change in vibration and give an output signal after a certain delay. The plastic-coated version is recommended for use in aggressive media, the highly polished version for use in abrasive media. The PNP/NPN transistor output versions can be connected directly to a PLC or a relay unit.
