Linear Actuators with Programmable Positions

Some robot movements can be realized with rotors, but most of them work better with linear actuators. If you have drives with programmable positioning, you can create a precise machine useful for a number of tasks.

Tips for Reducing Error When Using Eddy Current Measuring Techniques

Inductive eddy current technology is an extremely versatile non-contact method for measuring an object's position, distance, or vibration.

New safety switch: Contact-free and coded PSRswitch

The PSRswitch is Phoenix Contact's new safety switch for smart door safety and position monitoring in machines and assembly lines. When combining the PSRswitch with the PSR-MC42 PSRmini safety relay, machine builders can take advantage of IO-Link diagnostics to easily adapt their safety system for an IIoT-enabled future.
