TECHNOLOGY FOCUS

The rise of humanoid robotics is transforming light and heavy industrial manufacturing as well as logistics, healthcare and service automation. These advanced robotic systems are designed to replicate human movement with precision, flexibility, and repeatability. To accomplish this, every internal component must operate with exceptional accuracy. One of the most critical components making this possible is the precision miniature and ultra-thin bearing.

TURCK, a provider of industrial automation solutions, announced the CMMT Condition Monitoring sensor designed to detect magnetic field changes on three axes. This feature indicates what direction the target object is traveling in relation to the sensor, detects rotation, and detects ferrous metal. In addition, it provides temperature measurement to monitor changes in motor operation and identify possible faults in electromagnetic motors. When packages contain strong magnets, they often pose a hidden risk on conveyors.

ABB announced its IE6 SynRM Increased safety motor, which is certified to ATEX and IECEx requirements for use in hazardous areas. The new motor, based on ABB's magnet- and rare earth-free synchronous reluctance (SynRM) technology, offers up to 60 percent lower energy losses than the IE3 induction motors commonly used in Zones 1 and 2. This enables operators to realize a major boost in energy efficiency and avoided carbon emissions in industries where gas, vapor or dust might be present, such as chemicals, marine, oil & gas, pharmaceuticals and food & beverage.
