IO-Link interface. Bus-capable position indicators and actuators are virtually indispensable in machine construction today. They help make size changeover processes more efficient and reliable, thus enabling the flexible conversion of modern production systems for ever-smaller batch sizes.

The compact CMMT-ST servo drive controller from Festo is the little brother of the CMMT-AS. The small CMMT-ST is suitable for continuous power requirements up to 300 watts and saves a lot of installation space with its compact design.

With the PMT160U-EDLM, the Dresden-based positioning specialist Steinmeyer Mechatronik presents a measuring table of the latest generation: It is equipped with an ultra-precise measuring system and a dynamic drive concept.

Rollon has designed the Tecline linear axes especially for handling heavy workpieces. They are particularly resilient and dynamic and are suitable for bridging long strokes and for use in dirty working environments.

RS Components has added the new DGST mini slide for industrial automation applications from Festo to its product range. The very compact slide enables space-saving applications in factory automation and the processing industry.

The new IPS 400i from Leuze Electronic is a very small camera-based positioning sensor for double-depth compartment fine positioning. With its help, storage and retrieval machines can quickly and easily find the right shelf.
Peiseler, one of the manufacturers of dividing heads required for positioning workpieces in machine tools, is celebrating its 200th anniversary these days.
