AutomationDirectIndustrial Motors
AutomationDirect has released its IronHorseMTCP2 industrial duty motors, which are designed to meet the efficiency requirements of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. MTCP2 motors are offered in T-Frame (1 to 300hp) and TC-Frame/C-Face (1 to 30hp). C-face kits are also available for motors over 30hp.
These motors feature 1200, 1800 and 3600 RPM, and have TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled) enclosures with cast iron frame and ribbed design for cooling. The motors have full length, cast iron mounting feet, steel fan cover and a cast iron junction box with rubber gasket and rubber dust cover.

Novotechnik Angular Position Sensors
Novotechnik has introduced the Vert-X 2900 series of sensors that measure angular position. These sensors are available in single or redundant versions, and elongated holes make mounting easier.
Users can specify configurations including start and end-angles for less than 360° maximum range, index point, cw or ccw indication and non-linear curves. Measurement range is up to 0 to 360° with repeatability of 0.1° Mechanical range is 360° continuous. Available analog outputs are 10 to 90 percent of supply voltage and 5 to 95 percent of supply voltage.

OMRON 2D Dimension and Visual Inspection Machine
OMRON has unveiled its VT-M121: 2D dimension and visual inspection machine, which simultaneously performs dimension and visual inspection to detect scratches and cracks on products.
Instead of the slower sampling inspection by operators, VT-M121 provides full inspection automatically in the production line and contributes to achieving “zero defect” in automotive electronics, which are required to have high quality and reliability.

Rockwell Automation Thin Clients
Rockwell Automation has updated its VersaView 5200 portfolio to include five thin clients: single display, dual display, dual 4K display, multi 4K display and integrated display. The multi offers seven displays and is supported by the ThinManager software.
With many applications on multiple displays throughout a plant floor, manufacturers can struggle to manage numerous sources of content. The VersaView 5200 thin clients are intended to help manufacturers more easily manage their applications.
