Users are increasingly demanding advanced graphic displays for all kinds of devices using embedded electronics from measuring and automation system to ATMs and fitness equipment. Attractive user interfaces are a good means to create a product differentiation, but, until recently, the implementation process have been complicated and expensive. Now, with PFD (Programming-Free Display) software and hardware platforms, Beijer Electronics is launching a new concept based on their knowledge in HMI together with Hitech Electronics’ experience in LCM. PFD enables simply-designed user interfaces for embedded systems. With no specific experience required, development time and costs are dramatically reduced.
ETI Converting Equipment is a company specialized in the design of machines for the manufacture of self-adhesive label equipment and printing presses. Recently, ETI Converting Equipment developed a revolutionary process for the application of a treatment on the parent material that increases the adhesive capacity of the ink, glue, or any other coating. Result: the printer can now purchase a much cheaper non-treated film and make considerable savings in label manufacture. In this leading edge process, ANDANTEX USA offers solutions marketed by MEROBEL (REDEX ANDANTEX group), a world leader in the web tension control field.

The Anybus X-gateways interconnect the different networks and link between different fieldbusses or industrial Ethernet systems. Fully compatible with the PLC network systems of Siemens, Rockwell, Schneider Electric, Mitsubishi etc, the X-gateways make system integration easy!
The SK 200E family of economical decentralised frequency inverters has been expanded with two new models, SK 225E and SK 235E, featuring onboard AS Interface support. In addition to creating a drive system that is especially attractive in economic terms, this interface makes life easier at the I/O level for users of large-scale installation by simplifying cabling.
Electric chain hoists for stage applications must comply with the BGV safety standards. Within these standards, there are various levels that determine the tasks for which this type of lifting gear is authorized. To comply with BGV-D8 Plus or BGV-C1, which offer more possibilities, chain hoists have to be equipped with two separate DC injection brakes, such as the new ROBA®-secustop from mayr® drive technology.
