The Automated Future of Material Removal
Automating a deburring or surface finishing application is a smart, responsible, and effective way to improve a manufacturing process. There is a serious need for the automation of manual material removal and deburring tasks to help improve employees’ health, combat manufacturing labor shortages, and increase product consistency and quality.
The historical roadblocks for automated material removal are melting away as return on investment gets faster, more integrators and manufacturers cultivate hands-on experience, and technology advances to make processes easier.
When To Use Multi-Function Safety Relays
By Lenny Filipkowski, Product Manager, Industrial Components, AutomationDirect
Many machines and robots require safety circuits to stop all or part of operation in the event of an emergency. Safety circuits are also used to keep all or part of a machine or robot from running while there is human activity in close proximity, either for normal operations or maintenance.
These safety circuits are typically configured using safety relays, or a safety-rated PLC or other safety-rated controller. But in many cases, multi-function safety relays are a better option (Figure 1). A multi-function safety relay is a configurable device with multiple inputs and outputs.

Four Tips for Designing Tamper-Evident Late-Stage Customization Solutions
Serialization legislation is requiring pharmaceutical manufacturers to ensure that labels printed at a late stage contain all data necessary for compliance. Since many product labels are customized by markets, customer, or product type, adding variable data to labels or packaging is a way to avoid stocking individual packaging materials for each variant.
The flexible production of smaller batch sizes has also introduced new requirements for automatic and fast changeovers. If you’re a pharma manufacturer, how can you implement a flexible, tamper-evident solution for late-stage customization in low- and medium-volume production?
Williams Advanced Engineering, Aerofoil Energy and Inovo Join Forces on New Robotic Test Programme to Improve Supermarket Fridge Efficiency
Williams Advanced Engineering (WAE), Aerofoil Energy and Inovo Robotics are working together on an innovative new R&D programme that uses robots to further improve the energy efficiency of supermarket fridges.
Based at WAE’s site in Grove, Oxfordshire, the pioneering new initiative sees Inovo’s collaborative robots – called ‘cobots’ – repeatedly opening and closing the doors of test fridges to emulate real-world supermarket trading conditions. These fridges feature the revolutionary F1-inspired Aerofoil shelf edge technology along with Aerofoil Energy’s new “Vortex” energy efficient fridge technologies.

Phoenix Contact: Measuring Transducer Terminal Blocks With Push-in Connection at the Side
The PTVME test-disconnect terminal blocks from Phoenix Contact are an extension to the PTV portfolio. They can be used in all applications on the secondary wiring side of switching devices for transducers and signals.
Simplify your system modernization with the vertical Push-in connection of test-disconnect terminal blocks. With their compact design, PTVME terminal blocks enable you to use an overall width equal to that of screw terminal blocks. Increased safety is ensured thanks to a nominal voltage of 1,000 V. You use the screw-free disconnect slide to actuate the terminal blocks quickly and easily. The switching state can be clearly identified.

B&R presents new gate measurement module for efficient machine and process automation
With a new bus controller, B&R has added a gate measurement module to its portfolio for efficient monitoring of machinery and processes. The new gate measurement module joins the X67 lineup to help keep manufacturing processes consistent and reduce the rate of rejection, thus increasing both quality and productivity.
By measuring the duration of switching operations with extreme precision, the module is able to detect even the slightest deviations, which can point to component wear, changes in temperature or other environmental factors.
