Blow mould production machines can produce anywhere from a few hundred bottles to upwards of 60,000 bottles per hour. A catalyst for these machines' ability to produce consistent-quality bottles is the rotating table mechanism.

Wind farm turbines feature many aspects that need to be controlled and monitored during operation to ensure greater efficiency and maximise energy capture, while also safeguarding against potential violent wind events. In this article, we've outlined a range of aspects of the wind turbine anatomy for which the Posital IXARC encoder range can provide highly accurate measurements for monitoring everyday operations. Learn more about Posital Encoders here. The Posital IXARC encoder range is suited for rugged applications with a robust stainless-steel housing. These systems can be rated up to IP69K

Designed to protect operators and machinery in demanding environments, it reliably monitors mission-critical machine movements. The Motrona safety device range covers safety relay, safety speed monitoring and safety motion monitoring. This range is used to monitor specifics of a moving aspect within an application, including overspeed and underspeed, direction of rotation, standstill, position, slip, breakage, torsion and drift. This system is designed to monitor and report these aspects, and in the event that these fall outside the set parameters, Motrona safety relays will cut power to the

Motrona produce a range of highly specialised motion controllers for industrial automation, designed to work with complex motion applications. Motrona’s range of motion controllers are highly specialised and can be deployed on applications for cutting and shearing, gearbox and synchronisation, tension and unwinding and positional control. The Motrona range can process extremely short position control loop times and process high input frequencies from encoders, enabling automated systems to quickly execute commands or complete an automated loop swiftly. The Motrona controller range can be

Motrona offers a range of sophisticated digital displays, indicators and panel meters designed to relay accurate, real-time insights from industrial process applications. These displays feature intuitive systems utilising Motrona’s proprietary touchMatrix technology, enabling a rich and intuitive user experience, and allowing for user-configurable settings to ensure critical data can be accessed quickly. The Motrona displays are designed to interpret and display a wide range of industrial input signals, from standard analog signals, such as 4-20mA, to high-frequency pulse inputs provided by

Ensuring industrial automation processes run smoothly relies upon precise signals from production instruments, but what do we use to enable a clean signal? The Motrona range of signal conditioners is amongst the world's leading signal conditioners, enabling robust and precise signals from encoders to production floor programmable logic controllers. Motrona signal conditioners enable smooth communication from encoders to PLC systems by providing: Converting Analog Signal to Digital Signal: taking an analog 4-20mA or 1-10V signal and converting it to a digital signal for PLC. Amplifying Weak

Cables that connect rotary encoder signals to a machine control system, VSD or display to provide position or speed feedback, need specific characteristics. These characteristics include noise shielding with braided screening and twisted pairs to cancel out induced noise signals caused by electrical interference in industrial settings.

Industrial automation featuring motion-controlled systems requires high precision and robustness to monitor positioning, speed, and direction without interference from electrical noise. Synchronous serial interfaces, or SSIO rotary encoders are the perfect solution providing high precision measurements and resistance to electrical noise. How Does an SSI Encoder Work? The structure of an SSI communication system is like a master-slave system, where the encoder is the slave and transmits data to the controller, which is the master, in relation to clock pulses. The master starts the data exchange

Seed planters are systemised machines found primarily in scaled agricultural crop applications. They are tasked with digging, planting, and covering seeds in large-scale farming. Seed planter machines are powered and pulled behind tractors across large paddocks, planting thousands of seeds daily. The seed metering system, responsible for delivering the seed at the correct intervals, can consist of either a finger-pick-up system or a suction fan seed plate. Seeds are placed on a seed metering plate, which ensures one seed is delivered at the correct intervals. Seed metering systems can be
