Introducing piCOMPACT®10X SMART, added functionality to a small footprint ejector

piCOMPACT®10X SMART is a compact, efficient, and intelligent ejector that enables you to take the next step in production control and ease of use. Based on COAX® technology and integrated IO-Link technology, piCOMPACT®10X SMART offers enhanced flexibility, quicker installation, and improved customization to fit your needs.

Building on the air-driven, multistage ejector piCOMPACT®10X, it comes with integrated controls such as on/off valve, blow-off valve, vacuum switch, and energy-saving function, and is built on a configurable platform, making it easy to customize. The upgraded SMART version piCOMPACT®10X SMART also includes smart features that enable predictive maintenance in addition to special preventive features like Leakage Warning, Performance Monitoring Timers, and Vacuum Cycle Counter.

piCOMPACT®10X SMART is perfect for advanced packaging applications within industries such as pharma and electronics, helping producers to quickly and easily realize complex, yet tidy, smart systems.
Key features that add value:
• A configurable vacuum ejector based on COAX® technology with integrated controls, providing a highly energy efficient and reliable vacuum flow.
• IO-Link technology offers simplified and cheaper installation with easy set-up and less cabling.
• Performance and process data from sensors in, for instance, pumps can be monitored in real time using the IO-Link interface.
• Stackable (manifold mounted) units of between 3 and 8 ejectors share a common IO
• Link interface, as well as port and exhaust for compressed air, enabling easy cabling and tubing.
• Specialized software packages and application examples are available from Piab with add-on instructions and libraries of data sets for PLC programming in robots from market-leading brands.

How cameras deliver sharp images despite changing distances

How cameras deliver sharp images despite changing distances

IDS Imaging Development Systems offers a range of models, from a webcam-like camera in industrial quality to a tiny autofocus camera that weighs just12 grams. The 13 MP autofocus camera uEye XC closes the market gap between industrial cameras and webcams. Setting up and operating only requires a cable connection. After that, the autofocus camera immediately delivers high-resolution, detailed images and videos. With the optionally available, quickly exchangeable macro lens, users can easily shorten the minimum object distance of the camera. This makes it also suitable for close-up applications. Focus from a distance of just 10 cm. The uEye XS is even more compact and fits into almost any application with its size of just 26.4 x 23 x 21.7 mm. Thanks to its autofocus and 5 MP CMOS sensor, it delivers consistently sharp images and videos from a distance of just 10 cm. When it comes to image quality, natural color reproduction and harmonious contrast are also decisive factors. IDS has therefore equipped the uEye XS with many other practical automatic features familiar from consumer technology. This includes white balance, exposure and gain. As a result, it delivers the best possible result in every situation.
