Surface Oil Belt Skimmers
Surface oil belt skimmers from Eriez HydroFlow are for use on machine tools subjected to oil contamination in the range of 1 to 2 gallons per hour, with tanks deeper than 2'. With their oleophilic belt that strips separated oil from both sides of the belt and requires no contact with a stationary scraper, these units offer excellent performance and long service life.
Permanent Magnetic Chip and Parts Conveyors
Permanent magnetic chip and parts conveyors from Eriez safely and reliably move and elevate ferrous materials such as chips, turnings, small parts and stampings. These units are practically maintenance free and innovatively designed to ensure the highest level of operator safety.
Air-Operated Burn Table Lift Magnet System
The new air-operated Burn Table Lift Magnet System from Eriez easily and quickly moves multiple parts or cut-outs up and off of burn tables. With a powerful magnetic circuit design, this advanced transfer system can also lift single sheets or plates up to 3" thick from a stack to load the table.
XR3 6-axis Drive Rack
The XR3 6-axis drive rack with field replaceable, front-mounted, 3U plug-in amplifiers support both linear and PWM topologies. The XR3 can control any combination of brushless, DC brush or stepper motors at up to 320 VDC operating voltage and 30 A peak current capability.
CK3M Programmable Multiple-Axis Motion Controller
Motion controller output speeds are reaching an industry-leading 50 µs/5 axes with the introduction of the new CK3M programmable multiple-axis controller from Omron.

Manufacturing data readiness: The good, bad and ugly
Being a data-driven manufacturer is all the rage. Sight Machine engages daily with global manufacturers looking to better use production data to predict machine failure, optimize processes or increase output. Yet many of these manufacturing analytics projects stumble out of the gate. Here's why.
Internet-of-things solutions for manufacturing: Build or buy?
If you're a manufacturer wanting to take your first steps toward the internet of things and you're overwhelmed by the plethora of vendors and IoT platforms in the IoT space, you're not alone. IoT is still a new space with many moving parts and products.
Eagle Eye Through-Beam Laser Sensors
BEA Lasers has announced the availability of its new Eagle Eye Sensors. A single package contains both a through-beam photoelectric laser source (emitter) and a receiver, providing a similar function as a proximity sensor, but with enhanced benefits.
