New SLS material for electrostatically
conductive wear-resistant parts

For safe and reliable production in the electronics and
semiconductor industry, components are required that
have electrostatically conductive properties. This is
because even a small electric shock can destroy expensive
production lines. Igus has now developed a new stable
material for the SLS method so that users can make their wearing parts with ESD properties flexibly
and cost-effectively. The lubrication-free special parts made of iglidur I8-ESD can be printed and
shipped within just few days. Read more here

Versatile safety magnetic sensors
with long switching distance

Carlo Gavazzi has launched the latest family of MC88C
safety magnetic sensors. Together with the MC36C
magnetic actuator it can provide an effective monitoring
and protection solution for safety gates; when connected
to a safety module these sensors meet the requirements of
PLe/Category 4 according to EN ISO 13849-1 for stopping or disconnecting dangerous machine
movements. The sensor is particularly suited to applications where dust and dirt can influence the
sensing distance and offers a customizable solution. Read more here

Free-standing system enclosure

from Rittal offer greater simplicity

Baying enclosures are frequently employed for free-
standing use cases – but are not always the best
approach. The advantages of stand-alone products such
as the Rittal VX SE have often been overlooked. This
represents a best-of-both-worlds solution midway between
Rittal AX compact enclosures and the VX25 baying portfolio. VX SE offers even quicker time-to-
delivery and faster, simpler assembly, greater safety and compatibility with other Rittal systems. The
VX SE range also includes a 300 mm deep version for cramped environments. Read more here
