Beckhoff achieves a new quantum leap in terms of machine flexibility with the innovative No Cable Technology (NCT) for the XTS intelligent transport system. This is made possible by contactless power supply and synchronous real-time data communication, enabling individual XTS movers to be expanded into mobile handling and processing stations.

Contrast sensors Finally the XUM miniature mark reader offer four distinct light sources, empowering customers to select the optimal light source for specific materials and contrast marker colors. The range of mark readers includes: White light: for simple contrast detection, cost-effective, and high switching frequency. RGB light: for precise contrast between the mark and the background. Laser light: for detecting very small markers even at a high sensing distance. RGB color light: for accurate color marks on printed packaging.

With ConTrax® HybridNav, BÄR Automation presents its first navigation software developed in-house for automated guided vehicles (AGVs). The solution was specifically designed for demanding industrial environments where flexibility, safety, and predictability are equally important—regardless of whether the project is a brownfield or greenfield project.

The BA500 hydraulic battery-powered tool is suitable for installing electrical crimp connections on cables up to 300 mm2. This crimping tool uses standard 50 kN crimping dies that are compatible with other tools and heads. Thanks to the adaptive control, the BA500 crimping tool automatically adapts the force to the cross-section of the connector and interrupts the crimping process as soon as the crimping dies reach the stop. In this way, the BA500 only uses the force actually required for pressing and does not reach the maximum pressure of 700 bar every time. The adaptive control can be activated by the operator at will. The BA500 recognises when a fastener has been inserted into the head and automatically stops the stroke of the press inserts as soon as it encounters the slightest resistance. This holds the connector without being pressed, allowing the operator to check the correct positioning of the connector between the crimp inserts and precisely align the conductor into the cable lug. The head is hinged and can be rotated through 180° to adapt to different types of application. The quiet and handy BA500 crimping tool has a compact pistol grip design and is equipped with an ergonomic handle to ensure comfort even during prolonged use.

With the new O2I2 series multicode readers, ifm electronic presents a powerful yet cost-effective solution for demanding identification tasks in a compact design.

Couplings in machines and installations have to satisfy a great variety of requirements. And still, they all have something in common: they need to last. Which they only do if they are of a very high quality and specially conceived for your environment. For this, you can rely on our products.

Peakboard & AI – building apps is finally even more fun If you’ve always thought Peakboard was simple, you haven’t tried Peakbot AI yet. With the new AI built right into Peakboard Designer, building apps is as easy as having a conversation: you simply say in plain language what you want your app to do – and Peakbot automatically translates that into ready-made logic blocks. No code, no guesswork, no frantic searching through the documentation. Or ask it about existing projects – you’ll get all the support you need, wherever you are. In short: Peakboard was already as easy as PowerPoint – now you’ve got an AI assistant to take the work off your hands. Your dashboard practically builds itself.
