Pneumatic processes are standard practice in all sectors of industry. They also use a lot of energy, not least because compressed air is often wasted for various reasons. To remedy this situation and allow operators to benefit from other advantages, SMC has developed a new digital module for compressed air management with the Air Management System in ¼ to 1-inch connection sizes. Combining the regulator, hub and shut-off valve lets operators do more than simply monitor the pressure, temperature and flow of the air feed. By defining base parameters, operators can also make use of predictive maintenance and condition-based monitoring, ultimately reducing compressed air consumption by up to 62%. Compressed air is one of the most common energy sources in industry, and also one of the most expensive. That’s because only around 10% of the electricity used by an air compressor is supplied to the compressed air network in the form of effective output. This turns every cubic metre into a valuable asset and waste needs to be avoided. With this in mind, automation specialist SMC developed the new Air Management System in ¼ to 1-inch connection sizes. Above all, it helps to reduce compressed air consumption by up to 62%. In this respect, the digital module particularly impresses with its monitoring of pressure, temperature and flow as well as the programmable automatic pressure reduction and shut-off. PROFINET or EtherNet/IP can be used to connect to higher-level controllers. The integrated OPC UA server also supports operation entirely without a PLC while still benefiting from the Air Management System. What’s more, additional systems can be wirelessly integrated into the solution. This makes it quick to install and the system can be easily retrofitted, even in brownfield plants.

The new VS series inspires with a compact, slim body and with outstanding speed and accuracy. Compared to the previous series, the arm is more compact which enables space-saving workflows. In addition, the cycle time and the position repeatability has improved. In order to avoid the tangling of cables the internal wiring up to the flange (option communication flange) allows to connect e.g. servo grippers and ethernet devices directly to the flange. The VS-050 and VS-060 have an arm reach of 505mm and 605mm and a max. payload of 4kg. The robots can be mounted on ceiling, floor or wall. Various protection grades e.g. clean room (ISO 3/5), dust & splash proofed (IP65/54) and IP 67, ESD, ATEX are available.

IO-Link is becoming more and more established on the market - and the trend is rising. IO-Link is already being used in machine tools, production lines, in intralogistics and in packaging machines. The simple structure, the reduced costs and the prerequisites for entry into future Industry 4.0 concepts are the key arguments. key arguments. IO-Link products from Kübler open up new possibilities for your application. The product portfolio is now being expanded with the IO-Link master as a gateway to the world of Industrial Ethernet, enabling comprehensive connection of field devices to Ethernet-based systems. Kübler has added suitable IO-Link masters for the most common Ethernet protocols Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT and PROFINET to its portfolio to match the existing IO-Link sensors. The masters are available from stock in versions with 4 or 8 ports (Class A and Class B) and enable simple integration into the Ethernet world. Thanks to the system concept, complete, coordinated systems can be created together with the IO-Link field devices and the appropriate cables and connectors. The masters also support SIO mode, which means that existing field devices with classic switching signals can be easily integrated. Kübler thus offers an efficient, all-in-one solution for numerous applications.

The DS-E3 design data management environment provides electrical designers and manufacturing engineers with up-to-date, validated libraries, E3.series design data and BOM information. This information enables them to manage tasks and workflows for change and approval processes and support intelligent design configuration and reuse through module and variant management. DS-E3's powerful design data management functionality is built directly into the familiar user interface of Zuken's E3.series suite. It can be individually configured to meet the specific needs of different roles, such as schematic designer, panel layout designer, librarian or manufacturing engineer. DS-E3 is based on an industry-standard object-oriented architecture and is fully equipped for integration into existing PDM/PLM and ERP environments. It provides a true electromechanical data model with complete transparency of electrical designs down to the component level.
