DIY automation with low cost
robotic touchscreen test

Delta robots are used in a wide range of
applications, from pick and place, fitting
components at high speed and even testing
other products. In this latest video you can
see the ease of programming using Igus
software which is free to download and
simple to use. The Igus delta robot is a 3-axis robot connected to a shared joint around and below
the arms in order to fulfil its primary purpose, picking and placing objects. Read more here

Torque sensor with separate sensing
head can probe deep into machinery

Sensor Technology has extended its new range of torque
sensors with a model that has the sensing head and
electronics in separate housings. This has two
advantages: the sensing head can fit into very confined
spaces, and the electronics can be located in a position
where they are protected from physical damage, dust, dirt, moisture, electromagnetic forces, etc.
The new TorqSense SGR530/540 series operates on the same principle as all the other
SGR510/520 units, namely a full four element strain gauge bridge. Read more here

Spirol Introduces new

Press-N-Lok pin

Spirol has announced the
expansion of its solid pin product
line to include the new Series
BP100 Press-N-Lok pin. The new Press-N-Lok pin was designed to permanently retain two plastic
components to each other. The pin has opposing raised barbs on each end that are angled
backwards opposite the direction of insertion. As the pin is being inserted, the plastic backfills into
the area around the barbs resulting in maximum resistance to axial force providing a secure, tamper
resistant assembly. The Press-N-Lok pin is manufactured from aluminium. Read more here
