Socomec Load Break Switch

Since their foundation in 1922 Socomec has been at the forefront of electrical component manufacturing, never faltering on their commitment to innovation and quality. Over the years, they have been able to maintain continuous growth, one example of which is the INOSYS LBS UL 98B switch, which recently had its rating increased to better serve a wider variety of needs.  These manual load break switches can handle up to 1500 VDC with patented technology and are now available from 100 to 1200A. There are even special versions of the switch designed to withstand high short-circuit conditions in energy storage applications. These high-performance switches are available in a compact design that allows for easy integration, improving the efficiency of your processes and increasing safety on you plant floor.

Parker XLM Series Linear Motors

In today’s made-to-order world of manufacturing, linear motors play an increasingly important role in production and line productivity. The XLM family of positioners from Parker Hannifin is ideal for a variety of applications, ranging from imaging systems in digital pathology equipment to metrology instruments in semiconductor or electronics manufacturing. Designed with low Abbe error, these linear motore provide consistently accurate positioning.

One of the biggest advantages offered by the XLM series is its modular design, allowing multiple axis systems to be assembled easily. Whether the application calls for a relatively simple X-Y configuration or a more complex multi-axis gantry, integrated cable management helps to provide a clean and easy to install package, saving on the cost of additional components and the time to install them. The XLM also provides ease of connectivity with Parker’s proven range of servo drives and controls, as well as wide range of drives and controls provided by others.

The innovative SNK series is available in PI‑Spring (Push-In and Spring), screw clamp, and pluggable technologies with common accessories. These terminal blocks are even qualified for worldwide applications and severe environments such as hazardous locations, railways, marine and solar, so you can always be equipped with the connections you need.

CoreTigo IO-Link Wireless

CoreTigo enables machines and production lines to do more by expanding their flexibility and capacity in a cost-effective manner.

Smart ultra-reliable wireless communication in the factory is enabling applications not possible before that are driving operational efficiency, production and machine optimization, higher availability, sustainability, and greater intelligence. Such applications include wireless machine retrofit and condition monitoring, intelligent wireless tooling and robotics end-of-arm tooling, and smart conveying and transport systems. Key benefits of the solution include maintenance and downtime reduction due to fewer mechanical components and cables, maximum adaptivity and increased throughput as it’s possible to control actuators while in high-speed motion, improved OEE due to data accessibility in real-time anywhere on the machine and production line, and reduced machine footprint.

Embraced by industrial leaders, CoreTigo’s solutions are based on the IO-Link Wireless global standard, which is fit for harsh factory environments and motion control applications, providing the most reliable wireless connectivity for millions of sensors, actuators, and industrial devices worldwide.

Antaira VPN/NAT Router

One of the biggest opponents of productivity is geographic distance, especially for large companies with multiple facilities or remote employees. Industrial VPN/NAT routers from Antaira can improve productivity by ensuring data is securely transmitted between geographically dispersed sites and allowing your employees to work from their preferred work environment.

VPN/NAT routers establish encrypted connections to remote networks through IP forwarding and a wide range of protocols, including TCP/IP, ARP, ICMP, RADIUS and SNMP. This router is also compatible with Antaira’s remote access ConnectVPN, a cloud-based OpenVPN server that facilitates the connection of both standard OpenVPN clients and Antaira’s quick VPN client. All connected endpoints can be configured together into a group on a virtual network, allowing for maintenance, monitoring, and configuration to take place on devices linked to the Antaira routers' secure remote connections.

The improved security provided by a VPN/NAT router allows employees to work from anywhere with an internet connection, making any location into a productive workspace while giving employees greater flexibility and job satisfaction. Whether you are working from home, starting your morning in a coffee shop, or taking a business trip, you can rest easy knowing your sensitive data is protected.
