PRODUCTS Technology File SMART SENSOR NOW AVAILABLE FOR PUMPS


The ABB Ability Smart Sensor provides data for the predictive maintenance of low voltage motors. In partnership with Emile Egger, ABB has now developed the solution to remotely monitor pumps. Michel Grimm, Egger's chief business


development officer, became aware of the ABB Ability Smart Sensor in early 2017. This solution helps with the maintenance logistics of motors by enabling the owners to detect problems early due to remote monitoring. This meant that maintenance work could be carried out preventively for the first time and downtime could be reduced. The two companies decided jointly to


develop a new smart sensor tailored to the specific needs of pumps.


The combined experience of ABB and Egger quickly led to success. In less than a year, the sensor solution has been developed. Using their hardware, the motor sensors were adapted so they can provide readout values on pump speed, overall vibrations, unbalance, cavitation and clogging. Egger provided access to German and Swiss end customers, who helped to develop data analytics that meet the requirements. ABB has delivered the first prototypes


to enable testing in a real-world environment, with the digital background of the ABB Ability Smart Sensor technology being used.The pump operators can read the data via an app on their smartphone or browser. ABB and specialised partner companies will carry out further analyses in the cloud to detect tendencies and to be able to run cloud-based services in the future.

COBOT CAN NOW BE EASILY INTEGRATED


The fifth model to join Fanuc’s collaborative robot portfolio, the CR-15iA benefits from the same integrated sensors and


highly responsive ‘touch-to-stop’ reactive functionality as the rest of the range. If the arm comes into


contact with a fixed object or person, it gently stops and retracts. A safety system ensures that the robot stops at a maximum of 150N, however this can be reduced even further if required, meaning the CR-15iA is able to work safely and cooperatively alongside human operators The CR-15iA makes it easy for users


to integrate collaborative robots into the existing robot cells, with the same parts inventory. With a maximum payload of 15kg and a reach of 1,441mm, the CR-15iA bridges the gap between the CR-35iA – the strongest collaborative robot in the world – and the small CR-7 range. The CR-15iA comes with flexible


mounting options, such as the floor, ceiling or wall. Its small footprint makes it suitable for limited floor space.

Complete customer solutions from Festo provide machine builders with a supply partner that can provide a modular, sub-system approach – reducing bottlenecks, build and delivery times. One example is a new valve


and controller package that combines Festo’s CPX-E modular control system and the VTUG universal valve terminal. Specifically designed for installation in control cabinets, this package enables the CPX-E


and VTUG to combine electrics, saving space and cost. The result is a highly competitive process valve controller package for self- assembly or for complete cabinet build by Festo: a combination for more compact and cost-efficient control cabinet solutions. The modular CPX-E control


system is an automated system for factory and process automation. It consists of individual function modules which enable a flexible, modular design. Depending on the module combination, the system can be configured as a purely remote I/O system with bus module, or as a control system with control unit. The CPX-E’s distinguishing features are its rapid signal


processing and its compact assembly. It also meets interference immunity requirements in accordance with NE21 for process and laboratory control. The VTUG universal valve


terminal has also been adapted for installation in control cabinets. Its revised configuration ensures that the status indicator LEDs are forward facing in a cabinet layout, along with inscription labels and manual overrides. Features include new panel mount manifold rails, back pressure check valves, a hot-swap module and fixed flow restrictors.

RFID ENABLED ANTENNAS ALLOW COMMUNICATION OVER IO-LINK


Ifm electronic has one of the largest offerings of IO- Link sensors on the market and an established range of RFID systems which combine the technologies. Its latest range of RFID antenna is suited to a wide


range of applications due to flexible parameter settings, improved diagnostics and simple implementation. The range covers nine housing variants including robust designs for harsh industrial environments with ratings up to IP69K and temperature resistance from -20º to 60ºC. The new IO-Link enabled antennas opens up new opportunities for the low cost implementation of RFID in the industrial environment. In machine tools, the new IO-Link enabled antennas can be used to confirm correct selection and monitor usage of magazines and component moulds. In automotive production, body components or


engines are compared to order numbers via RFID in order to control processing steps, or to check the final assembly. The IO-Link enabled antenna take full advantage of ifm electronics wide range of fieldbus masters with built-in IO-Link capability. Up to eight antennas can be connected to each field bus module. Building IO-Link into the antenna gives the user access to set-up tools that ensure that any RFID solution can be implemented simply into existing or new machinery.

AUTOMATED TOP SEAL PUNNET CASE LOADING AFFORDABLE FOR ALL


Brillopak’s BR2 and BR5 Punnet Packer machines, which are priced from £87,500, cater specifically to the fresh produce market, where productivity and profit margins are under intense pressure.


The BR2 and BR5 Punnet Packer reaches a top speed of 120 and 180 packs per minute. Capable of loading up to 180 top seal punnets and top seal


trays per minute into full and half-sized crates, as well as lipped boxes, the machine maximises throughput by collating product into a full layer, lifting and lowering in one seamless motion into the crate or box.


Layers are collated to the side of the container. A crate-sized


vacuum end-effector then gently suctions the entire layer, lifting it just enough for a supporting plate to retract, before lowering and pressing the punnets gently into place in the crate. The BR Punnet Packer can be interlocked with any top seal


machine on the market. The latest tray seal models handle a wide variety of pack sizes and sealing formats and automatically adjusts to the different packs sizes and case formats.
