ADVERTORIAL TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION
Innovation Through Color Diversity
he new P1XF001 6-Channel Multispectral Sensor with fiber-optic cable from wenglor sensoric is the ideal precision tool for color detection. Thanks to precision spectral measurement in the comprehensive ROYGBV (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet) color space, the finest of color nuances in all visible light ranges can be reliably detected, differentiated and transmitted via Industrie 4.0 compatible interfaces such as IO-Link. And thus the sensor is already fulfilling tomorrow’s requirements today. The P1XF001 6-Channel Multispectral Sensor measures and analyzes the spectral composition of colored objects. And thus in addition to the weQubeVision sensor and the OFP401P0189 True Color Sensor, a further wenglor product is also available to customers which simply and reliably meets the requirements of highly complex, industrial color applications.

n order to achieve the maximum safety performance level PLe, a category 3 or 4 architecture must be used.
What this means for a servo system is that a second method for measuring speed is
required, this is usually achieved by fitting an additional separate encoder or resolver to the axis increasing the costs and complicity to the system and set up process. Due to its onboard safety card, the PMC Protego DS from Pilz is able to measure the motor current to determine its speed.
constitutes a category 4 architecture. This means that using the PMC Protego DS drive and any servo motor it is possible to achieve PLe without any additional equipment. The PMC Protego DS also has the following Safe Motion Functions included as standard: Safe Torque
off, Safe Stop 1, Safe Stop 2, Safe Operating Stop, Safe Limited Speed, Safe Speed Range, Safe Direction, Safe Limited Increment, with Safe Braking functions and Safe Limited Position available as additional options. With free configuration software the PMC Protego DS is straight forward to configure for motion tasks and safety features alike.

2013, AutoCoding Systems have seen interest in their world-class coding and packaging verification solution soar. The AutoCoding system automatically sets-up and controls all types of packaging line devices, including coding and labelling equipment, barcode scanners, checkweighing and metal detection equipment, outer case coders and pallet labellers, irrespective of manufacturer.
particularly in the food and beverage industries, are already recognising the business benefits offered by AutoCoding Systems’ packaging line automation solutions. These include increased speed and reliability of line set-up, reduced job changeover time, reduced risk of coding and packaging errors and the ability to manage complex packaging formats. Sam Vail joins the business from Apex Manufacturing Solutions where he spent almost 7 years working with process and manufacturing companies addressing the challenges of improving production throughput, reducing waste and increasing uptime.
He has extensive experience in manufacturing
execution systems and enterprise control solutions, as well as process automation, integration and industrial performance measurement
utoCoding Systems are delighted to announce the opening of their new US offices in Meridian, Idaho headed up by recently appointed US Director of

Mike Hughes, Managing Director, said, “This is a very exciting time for us all
at AutoCoding Systems. The opening of our US office and appointment of Sam shows our commitment to developing the US market. Our investment in the US over the last couple of years has resulted in a number of major projects with some very high profile companies, thus confirming our view that the US is a strategically important market for us.
Sam’s expertise in a wide range of
control and business systems has already proved invaluable, working with our technical and development teams to develop the AutoCoding product’s integration capability.
With Sam onboard we are anticipating our presence in
the US to increase dramatically over the coming months.” Sam commented, “The opportunity to introduce AutoCoding Systems to new Customers and Partners in the US is an exciting personal challenge, in an area of manufacturing I’m very familiar and comfortable with. The packaging line often lacks proper systems integration, and can be prone to human error and inaccessible data. The AutoCoding solution, when integrated with existing equipment, leads to a seamless end-to-end solution with considerable business benefits.
I look forward to solving these challenges while ensuring the UK’s top-notch customer service and support is replicated here in the US.”
