A manufacturer of high-precision machining centers and even more of their customers have already learned to appreciate the advantages of the bi-directional communication interface IO-Link. In their new MCC series the company has used Safety over IO-Link to integrate safety into the overall concept of IO-Link. This makes the processes simpler, more efficient, cost-effective and of course safer.

Haptic force/torque sensors offer companies the opportunity to increase their production efficiency in many areas of application to a significant degree. They open up brand-new potential for automation, especially in the refinement of delicate surfaces, packaging, precision assembly, and quality control.

Generating, transporting and processing information are central tasks in the Industry 4.0 environment. The basis for all the information is intelligent sensors which provide the required input. With their BOS 21M ADCAP will be showing a newly developed optical multifunction sensor, the BOS 21M series.

Micro-Epsilon has extended its product range of capacitive displacement and distance sensors by capacitive thread sensors. These are not intended for clamping but are screwed into a thread. This opens up numerous application possibilities, e.g. when mounting on walls or in bore holes.

In the railway industry, measurement technology is subjected to exceptionally high loads and has to receive special approval. The JUMO MIDAS DP10 differential pressure transmitter masters these challenges with ease.

With a new generation of hygienic pressure sensors in the PP20H family, Baumer closes a gap in its portfolio and also offers an attractively-priced solution for demanding hygienic applications. The sensor has a robust, IP69K-rated stainless steel housing which is designed to handle a variety of applications, and is equipped with a condensate-proof silicon measuring cell.
