Omron cuts power switching down to size

Omron cuts power switching down to size. The new J7KNU contactor from Omron, which is the smallest device of its type and rating currently available anywhere in Europe, is ideally suited for a wide range of applications where a compact, dependable and easy-to-use power switching solution is needed. Although it measures only 35.5 x 35.5 x 33 mm, the J7KNU contactor has a 2.2 kW AC3 rating and is available in three- and four-pole versions with AC or DC coils and as reversing contactor with mechanical interlock.

The only Delta on the market with four arms, the Omron Quattro also offers a larger working envelope and a degree of manipulation not achievable elsewhere. Furthermore, the Quattro is also the only Delta robot which is USDA certified and constructed with materials that are safe for primary food handling, making it more hygienically-advanced than existing robots on the market.

La partita che cambierà il vostro stile di gioco

Alla prossima SPS Italia (Parma, 23-25 maggio 2017) mostreremo come cambieranno i giochi per i produttori di beni. Dimostreremo come le tecnologie di rilevamento e controllo, tipiche dell'automazione, possano, grazie al contributo dell'intelligenza artificiale, abilitare l'innovazione della produzione secondo i paradigmi di Industry 4.0.

Next generation of temperature controllers embrace the era of AI

E5CD (48x48mm) and E5ED (48x96mm).Omron’s E5_C series substantially raised the bar for temperature control in the past five years thanks to its user-friendliness, high precision and highly reliable control. Now, the E5_D series - the next generation of controllers built on the successful E5_C platform - is designed to achieve optimal and automatic temperature control without human intervention. In fact, from now on all typical adjustments made in the field by experts are automated using Artificial Intelligence (A.I.). The E5_D is based on the E5_C platform so the basic features are the same (50msec control period, universal inputs measurements Thermocouples/Pt100/linear, and more) but with a draw-out structure to make maintenance even easier.
