Explore Advancements in Industrial Automation in New eBook from Mouser and TE Connectivity
Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry’s leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components™, today announces a new eBook in collaboration with TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectors and sensors. This eBook explores how advancements in automation, connectivity, and intelligent systems are solving today’s manufacturing challenges.
For decades, manufacturing has followed predictable, linear processes. However, the demand for greater flexibility, customisation, and speed has pushed traditional systems to their limits. In Advancements in Industrial Automation: Smart Manufacturing and Future Technologies, experts from TE Connectivity discuss how collaborative robots (cobots), predictive maintenance, hybrid connectivity, and other technologies are enabling the transition to smart manufacturing.
SLC
TE Connectivity’s SLC safety light curtains provide finger, hand, and body protection in industrial applications. The light curtains feature an emitter, receiver, and multiple parallel beams with various resolutions. If people or objects block any part of a light beam, the machine cannot operate. TE safety curtains are reliable and smart, with no blind areas, no programming required, and simple installation.
Blind Mating
The Blind Mating mobile charging connectors from TE Connectivity are designed for use with smaller mobile robots and autonomous vehicles typically used in warehouse environments. The connectors facilitate charging for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) engaged in material handling tasks such as sorting and storage. The blind mating mobile charging connectors support various configurations, data, and sensing.
Type HPBA
TE’s Type HPBA braking resistor assemblies increase the braking torque of a variable frequency drive for faster, more controlled braking. The braking resistor assemblies are built to withstand harsh environments, featuring heavy-gauge galvanized steel, a wired terminal block, and an optional thermostat. Applications include industrial, variable frequency drives, servo motors and drives, warehouse automation, and robotics.
IPX8
The IPX8 water-resistant USB Type-C™ onboard receptacle delivers industry-leading EMI and IPX8 water-resistant performance. Compliant with USB 3.1 standards, the TE receptacle supports data transfer rates up to 10Gbps and can transmit 100W of power at 5A. The water-resistant receptacle includes enhanced board retention features for added durability and is rated for 10,000 mating cycles.
