New Products 28 IEN / AUGUST '16 www.ien.com Low-Power, Low-Cost Monitoring System Dialight (Farmingdale, NJ) offers its new A0/ A1 Red Controller System with features that in- clude: • The lowest DC power consumption in the industry, according to the company, with only 3 watts consumed. • A design for the control and monitoring of Vigilant obstruction signals on typical A0 and A1 tower types, including radio, com- munication and meteorological towers, as well as wind turbines. • Dialight's signature 5-year, full-perfor- mance warranty. • Flash rates of 20, 30 or 40 seconds/minute. • An onboard monitoring system that mea- sures current fl ow into the marker lights, triggering a report or alert via contact closure if voltage is out of spec. • The ability to accommodate a maximum of 16 L-810 side markers or 8 L-810 markers and one L-864 beacon. www.dialight.com; 732-919-3119 Advanced Machine Monitoring & Dashboard eNETDNC (Greenfi eld, WI) offers three new Monitoring Reports for its eViewer, a powerful Crystal Reports-based report generator. The new reports offer daily, weekly and monthly breakdowns of machine availability. Customers can not only view their machines' cycle on/off & setup times, but can also view trending for their top machine downtime reasons over a specifi ed range of dates. The monitoring software update is now available via free download on the eNET website. www.enetdnc.com; 414-944-7514 Optimal Incremental Encoders for Motion Control Applications The new Pittman (Harleysville, PA) E21 family of 21mm optical incremental encod- ers are designed to satisfy the demands of volume OEM precision-motion control ap- plications. The E21 represents a huge im- provement over its predecessor with a 40% lower profi le, multichannel outputs and op- tions yielding up to 32 times the resolution and up to 24 times the frequency response. Creative packaging also makes this an eco- nomical drop-in replacement for other encoder providers, says the company. The E21C and E21D encoders are 5V, 2 and 3 channel optical encoders available in many different confi gurations. This modular encoder package comes in a compact 21-by-8 mm size with alternate mounting arrangements. Connections are available in a locking radial or optional axial connector in addition to standard radial. The E21C and E21D encoders operate from -20 to +85° C and weigh only 2.5 grams. Specifi cally: • The E21C encoder has resolutions of 120, 125, 128, 200, 250, 256, 300 and 360 CPR. It outputs two-channel quadrature signals that are TTL compatible and avail- able with optional complimentary channels. Operating frequency is 40 kHz (100 to 360 CPR). • The E21D has resolutions of 500, 512, 1000, 1024, 1600, 2000, 2048, 3200, 4000, 4096, 6400, 8000 or 8192. It outputs two-channel quadrature signals that are TTL compatible with an optional third channel index output. Complementary outputs also are available. Operating frequency is from 55 kHz to 960 kHz depending on resolution. The E21C and E21D encoders are available in kit form and adapt easily to many Pittman motors. The E21 will fi t shafts of different diameters up to 5mm. Prototype encoders are available now on request. www.Pittman-Motors.com; 267-933-2105 Vision System Breaks Down Integration Barriers Robotiq (Lévis, Qc, Canada) has announced the launch of Camera, its new vision-guided pick-and-place solution for Universal Robots that shortens setup time to 5 minutes and makes vision easy to integrate. The compact camera design fi ts perfectly on the UR wrist and offers direct connectivity to the controller. Moreover, the Robotiq Camera's user-friendly software is seamlessly embedded within Universal Robot's graphical user interface. There is no external PC required to setup, program or run Camera. Everything is done right from the robot user interface. You can teach Robotiq's Camera a new part in just 5 minutes and it will locate the part in its fi eld of vision. Because of its unique wrist mount design on the UR, this robot vision system does not need complex calibration procedures or extra external illumination. Being mounted on the robot's wrist also has the benefi t of expanding the search area with- out dealing with complex fi xtures: The robot's arm moves, so the Camera can locate the parts in a wider work area. www.robotiq.com; 888-ROBOTIQ (Lévis, Qc, Canada) has announced the launch of Camera, its new vision-guided pick-and-place solution for Universal Robots that shortens setup time to 5 minutes and makes vision easy to integrate.
