Introducing the CSF-ULW ultra-light weight gearhead. This series features a newly engineered lightweight structure with an ultra-compact shape. The ULW line maintains the same performance standards as the CSF-2UH series. Ideal for use on end of arm axes for small industrial and collaborative robots, the CSF-ULW is also well suited for general industrial machinery where weight is a critical factor.
May 26, 2025 Festo Research has developed SupraMotion superconducting technology as a future concept for automated contactless handling of objects from non-sterile to the clean areas of med labs and pharma facilities. SupraMotion also automates contactless weighing and test tube handling within clean environments. Superconductors are materials with unique magnetic features that lend themselves to…

They meet UL 508A Type 12 and cUL Type 12 standards, and comply with NEMA Type…
The new Fab-Pak Cobot Guru system from Lincoln Electric automates the highest mix of different products while providing even non-welders with the ability to easily program it for increased productivity in even the smallest of workspaces.
AutomationDirect has added LS Electric servos systems that provide extremely accurate motion control and include the most requested features – setup wizards, auto-tuning, built-in indexer, and more – in an extremely cost-effective package.
April 9, 2024 Pilz adds the operation element PIT oe ETH to its portfolio of control and signal devices Pilz adds the operation element PIT oe ETH to its portfolio of control and signal devices. PIT oe ETH has an activatable Ethernet port, thus protecting freely accessible industrial Ethernet interfaces from improper access. As such…
Regal Beloit Corporation, a leading manufacturer of electric motors, electrical motion controls, power generation and power transmission components, announces the release of the new Klamploc adapter lock for Sealmaster mounted unitized spherical roller bearings (USRB).
Weidmüller’s scalable engineering software, u-control 2000, adapts individually to your requirements. And, the u-control is powerful, compact and fully compatible with Weidmüller’s I/O system u-remote. This article looks at what makes u-control the heart of your automation.
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are one of the main components of any automated system. A typical control system has inputs, outputs, controllers (i.e., PLCs), and some type of human interaction with the system, a human machine interface (HMI), for example.
October 14, 2025 Sensors have evolved from simple detection tools to intelligent data sources that drive smarter decisions. They are no longer just watching; they are communicating, diagnosing, and optimizing. The Eyes and Ears of Automation Sensors are the first line of awareness in any automated system. They detect the presence or absence of objects,… Read More…
October 14, 2025 Building on the concepts introduced in ManAuto’s main article, “Futureproof Industrial OT with Moxa’s Secure Edge-to-Core Networking”, this post focuses on strengthening industrial systems through a layered OT security approach. As cyber threats targeting operational technology (OT) environments continue to evolve, implementing a single layer of defense is no longer enough. In this… Read More…
