Up until now, industrial Ethernet has only been able to reach the control level before it needs to switch to BUS systems via gateways. Single Pair Ethernet (SPE), delivered via HARTING’s T1 Industrial connector, allows equipment to connect via end-to-end IP-based communications right up into the field level. HARTING says there is immense potential for […]
As companies make increasing use of cobots and modular machinery for flexible manufacturing, plug and play connectorisation is needed so that systems can be disconnected and reconnected quickly, without the need for skilled labour and with no risk of miswiring. The experts at HARTING explain. Research carried out by the World Economic Forum in 2020 […]
Industrial Ethernet is powering transformation, helping to turn the vision of IIoT and seamless sensor-to-cloud communication into reality. To learn more and discover solutions for driving industrial change, join Harting for its Industrial Ethernet Week from the 8-10 February 2022. Across three inspiring days, you’ll hear keynote speeches, expert talks and enjoy technical sessions with […]
Harting has expanded its preLink integrated Ethernet connection system with new versions of the preLink termination block for interfacing with PROFINET, industrial Ethernet and ultra-flexible cables, typically used on robots. Delivering even more flexibility and ease of use for preLink connection technology, the preLink termination block is now available in a black PROFINET version. It […]
Palletizer robots often operate in factories and warehouses exposed to dust and extreme temperatures, and the installed components must offer reliable function even in harsh environments, as well as easy maintenance. Okura Yusoki, a leading manufacturer of transport equipment and logistics systems, chose Han-Yellock connectors from Harting for its new palletizer robot. Han-Yellock provides IP65/IP67 […]
