After successfully launching the AVENTICS
Series XV03 in most world regions last July, Emerson has now released the popular XV03 valve for U.S. markets, as well as globally released the larger Series XV05 and a bottom-
ported version of the XV03. The XV03 provides flow volumes up to 350 litres per minute in normal conditions (Nl/min), and the XV05 provides up to 1000 Nl/min. Both the XV03 and XV05 are designed for compliance with UL429 and UL61010
for quality and safety. New and existing accessories provide greater functionality and include separators, blank stations, pressure supply plates, sandwich pressure supply, and sandwich pressure exhaust. There is also a custom toolbox that contains the most important tools to assemble XV systems. The next phase of the staged XV release will see the continued launch of new
accessories, and additional fieldbus protocols will be launched throughout 2025, including Powerlink, CanOpen in mid-2025 and AS-I in late 2025. The valve systems currently support Profinet, Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, Profibus DP and IO-Link. Providing higher flow rates in a compact package, the valves enable more efficient
and flexible pneumatic systemperformance while offering products customised for specific markets, including factory automation, automotive, food and packaging.

optimally suited for navigation tasks. Another advantage is the sensors’ integrated window monitoring, which detects if the optics window becomes dirty. This enables predictive maintenance and contributes to high system availability.
Perfection in precision
The devices of the ROD 300/500 series scan at a frequency of up to 80 Hz. This means that moving objects are reliably detected and the data quality remains optimal even at high speeds. With their high angular resolution of 0.025° at 10 Hz , the laser scanners of the ROD 500 series determine the contour of the parts even with high-gloss or matt surfaces. The new laser scanners can be integrated into almost all production processes. Their rugged design also contributes to this: protection class IP 67, high-quality aluminum base and the built-in laser diode make the ROD 300/500 laser work in temperature ranges from -30 °C to +60 °C. This makes them suitable for applications in both the deep-freeze sector and for high-temperature requirements, such as in battery production.
Natural Navigation made easy Clearly measuring contours
Leuze is expanding its product portfolio with LiDAR technology: New ROD 300 series of laser scanners for accurate contour measurement and ROD 500 for precise AGV navigation

precision and attention to detail are what count. Leuze is launching two new laser scanner series that are perfectly suited for this. The devices of the ROD 300 series reliably detect contours even during fast production and logistics processes. Thanks to their high scanning rates and angular resolution, the laser scanners of the ROD 500 series are
The new laser scanners can also be used for navigating driverless transport systems (DTS). They create a very precise map of the environment, such as the material storage area. In logistics applications, a scanner from the ROD 500 series enables collision-free AGV navigation via of the laser scanners, with dimensions of 80 x 80 x 80mm, is that the sensors can be integrated even into the small installation spaces of mobile vehicles.

The iV-GO device is designed to improve the IV treatment
experience for patients and enhance treatment workflows for healthcare institutions. It prioritises patient mobility, allowing individuals to move freely during their IV treatments, leading to greater comfort and independence. This portable unit not only frees up valuable space in hospitals but also empowers patients to receive treatment on-the-go as well as at alternative settings, reducing feelings of confinement, promoting mental well-being and faster recovery. With approximately 90% of hospitalised patients receiving
intravenous medication when dealing with considerable illnesses, and 70% of patients willing to receive infusion therapy at home, this innovative device is expected to become a game-changer in the healthcare industry. The German Design Awards’ Jury commented: “This infusion
pump allows patients to receive mobile and flexible intravenous treatment. With its purely mechanical operation requiring no electricity, iV-GO provides an innovative solution in healthcare, promoting patient independence during therapy and challenging conventional systems.”
