with up to four slave devices and then send their combined data back to the controller over the CC-Link network. In lieu of a backplane, each slave device is connected to the CC-Link IO-Link master by an industry-standard M12 port, creating an IP67 connection. With the ability to be installed within a 20-m radius from the master device, slave devices can be easily distributed across the machine without the use of cumbersome and costly controls cabinets that are typi- cally used in today’s CC-Link network architectures.

Wheel Force Transducer The new Type 9269A RoaDyn S6HT System 2000 is a six-component wheel force transducer with a specialty electronics platform designed to measure three forces and three moments during com- plete chassis and component road load data acquisition and other on-road heavy truck, bus, civilian and military special-vehicle testing applications. The System 2000
features a fully modular and versatile design that incorporates the use of six replaceable three-component heavy-duty load cells. Each load cell is individually calibrated to allow sensor replacement without the need to recalibrate the entire system. An integral identification chip within each load cell stores important component parameters and prevents data misiden- tification. This feature allows for optimal system performance, with data imported into System 2000 onboard electronics upon startup.
Machinable Glass Ceramics Morgan Technical Ceramics (MTC) announces its advanced machining capabilities for Corning MACOR machinable glass ceramic, a material well-known for its excellent physical prop- erties, high dielectric strength, electrical resistivity, and ability to withstand high temperature while providing tight tolerance capability. With MTC’s in-house expertise and capabilities, there is no need to outsource machining of MACOR when
