The new Y-Circ M12 D4 field assembly connector from Yamaichi Electronics is the smallest field assembly connector available on the market. Yamaichi Electronics has been continuously developing new innovative products around the Y-Circ M series for years. "The new D4-coded field-assembly M12 circular connector makes it easier for customers to assemble in the field and offers a convenient extension to the existing product portfolio," explains Matthias Schuster, product manager for circular connectors at Yamaichi Electronics. The enormous time and thus cost savings are made possible by the simple and fast assembly. Only two assembly groups are screwed together, so there are no small parts to lose. When screwed together, two spring elements press on the shielding and ensure the 360° shielding connection. At the same time, the strands are contacted by insulation displacement. This guarantees the secure data transmission of 100 Mbit/s. The assembly of the connector is thus extremely simple. It can also be carried out by inexperienced users. No additional special tools or processes are required. With a dimension of only 52.6 mm and a circumference of max. 17.3 mm, the field-assembly connector is the smallest tool-free D4-coded connector on the market. In general, the field-assembly M12 connectors from Yamaichi Electronics are the ideal complement to the pre-assembled connectors due to their slim and short design, even in confined installation spaces. For example, they offer advantages when laying cables in a cable duct or when the required cable length is unknown. It is also easy to replace the connector in cable assemblies that have already been laid. Other models, such as the field-assembly X8-coded M12 (with data transmission up to 10 Gbit/s), can also be easily configured by the user with the online configurator. It simplifies access to technical documents, 3D models and the associated assembly instructions. https://configurator.yamaichi.de

Modular assembly automation with its interlinked processes and shortest throughput times places high demands on the grippers installed. This is where our new MGS series shows its strength. The smallest electronic components, screws and much more are gripped securely with the highest precision - with a net weight of only 25 g in the smallest size! The ground-in sliding guide ensures consistently high reliability of the gripping process, while the optional gripping force retention by spring protects the components in case of loss of compressed air. With optionally available sensor kits, you have full control over the process at all times.

The Smart Cabinet Building Initiative is a joint project of Weidmüller, Komax, Zuken, Armbruster Engineering and nVent Hoffman / Steinhauer. Its aim is to offer holistic solutions for the digitalization of control cabinet construction by networking technology and know-how across all process steps. These solutions range from component selection to pre-assembly and wiring to testing based on the data from the digital twin of the control cabinet and its wiring. This digital twin is supplied by the E3.series software for planning the electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic control technology. The data generated with the E3.series applications is used directly to control the digitally controlled control cabinet processing and assembly.

Products of the Smart City series transform lighting or traffic light poles according to (DIN 49778 and DIN EN 40-5) into networked infrastructure elements. The connection technology can be easily installed and maintained and is completely protected against vandalism. IP-devices such as cameras, sensors or access points can be attached to a pole equipped in this way, connected at gigabit speed via fibre optic cables and powered with an output power of up to 60 W. The Smart City products are modular in design and can be variably equipped. This is ideal for individual, site-specific equipping of the masts and makes later expansion and retrofitting effortless. The customization options range from the design of the housing and the protection class to the number of ports and the type of optical connection technology to industry-specific approvals. The ultra-compact connection box pe-light integrates passive or active data transmission (unmanaged/managed)) and power connection into the fibre optic network in the light pole and thus forms the smart node for the future Internet-of-Things on the company premises or in the Urban Infrastructure and the Smart City.

Make every valve count.

The Smart Grid Interface Module (SGIM) is an easy-to-install measurement system for digitizing local network substations and cable distribution cabinets in smart grids. It enables uninterrupted installation in 185 mm busbar systems in conjunction with NH fuse-switch disconnectors. The SGIM can directly acquire all voltages and other voltage quality information, as well as the frequency, and transmit this data to control centers via remote control or substation protocols according to DIN EN 60870-5-104 or DIN EN 61850. Furthermore, an internet portal and an SGIM app are available for quick and direct access to the SGIM measurement data without requiring a connection to the control system. The SGIM is a modular system that can be optionally expanded to measure currents, power, and energy from up to 14 feeders using Rogowski coils or current transformers integrated into the NH fuse-switch disconnectors.

Ganter is expanding its range of indexing plungers with a technical treat. The newest addition, type GN 817.7, is pneumatically actuated and can be seamlessly integrated into automated processes thanks to state-of-the-art sensors. There aren’t actually any indexing plunger variants lacking from Ganter’s portfolio. Nevertheless, the development team consistently succeeds in integrating new functionality that opens up new application possibilities. The most recent indexing plunger development is pneumatically actuated. Plus, the part also detects both end positions with just a single sensor. This makes GN 817.7 a logical advancement over the manually operated indexing plunger GN 817.6. The new variant can also be used in hard-to-reach locations and can be integrated into automated processes. What’s more, GN 817.7 can be used as a replacement for GN 817.6 without any changes in dimensioning or signal processing. The position detection of GN 817.7 is once again based on proven magnet technology but with some important new innovations. Not only are both end positions now detected but they can also be individually defined. The sensor teaching can be performed directly on-site with a small operating element on the sensor, which is held in place by a clip and supported by a cable. There are even LEDs for visual feedback. The other option for teaching is to use the convenient IO-Link feature via the system control unit. This standardized interface makes teaching a quick affair and also allows for immediate replacement in the case of faults, which significantly reduces downtime. The high signals upon reaching the respective end positions are transmitted directly over the 4-pin M8 cable plug to the control unit of the system.

Under the keyword Industry 4.0, production facilities are increasingly developing into "smart factories" in which individual production steps are monitored in real time with the help of intelligent machines and sensors and the overall process is organized more effectively. norelem also has some of these "smart products" in its range. Smart products independently collect and transmit their own production and operating data to other devices. However, they can not only store data, but can also be equipped with individual production information, so that the networked product can, for example, put itself into operation and control its own production process. This communication between product and machine – and humans who monitor both – simplifies and optimizes many previously complex processes in production and the workshop. Everything on GREEN with the Smart Products from norelem Smart products are the ideal solution when it comes to machining workpieces with as few errors as possible
