Norelem news: Control and signaling devices with external contacts

For safe switching commands and clear status indication

Norelem expands its range with control and signaling devices with external contacts. The pushbuttons are designed to safely activate switching commands and clearly indicate operating states, states, and faults. Applications include machine and plant construction, automation technology, industrial processes, manufacturing, and construction technology. Special feature: Actuators and contact elements can be combined as needed.

In industrial applications, control and signaling devices are the central interface between humans and machines. They control functions such as starting, stopping, or changing operating modes, while also signaling operating states and faults.

A modular structure for flexible device design
The new norelem command and signaling devices are characterized by their robust design, long service life, and high protection rating. They can be combined with various contact and light elements and are easily integrated into control cabinets, machines, and systems.
The devices consist of a control or signaling element (pushbutton, switch, or indicator light) and an external contact (normally open or normally closed contact) installed according to a modular concept. This structure allows for a clear separation between the actuation and contact technology, promoting flexible device configuration. The elements can be combined as needed and replaced independently of each other. This simplifies installation, maintenance, and adaptation to the requirements of different applications. The pushbuttons, switches, and indicator lights are suitable for mounting openings with a diameter of 22.3 mm.

Versions also available for sensitive sectors
Control devices are available as standard and illuminated pushbuttons, standard hold-open or momentary selector switches, illuminated hold-open or momentary selector switches, standard indicator lights, and key-operated hold-open or momentary pushbuttons. Customizable identification plates with standard text and symbols are also available for the pushbuttons.
For sensitive industries such as medical and laboratory technology, the food industry, and other applications with special hygiene requirements, norelem offers membrane switches. The robust, closed surface protects against dirt, dust, and moisture and allows for easy cleaning and disinfection.

Fanuc crx-3ia: the pocket-sized cobot that takes welding anywhere

Designed for shipyards and steel construction, the CRX-3iA is carried in one hand and operates with the precision of a fixed arm. FANUC introduces the CRX-3iA collaborative robot, the lightest and most compact model in the entire CRX cobot range. Designed to be transported and ready for operation in minutes, it is aimed at all those applications where being able to move the robot quickly makes a real difference. Weighing just 11 kg, the CRX-3iA addresses a real need in industries such as shipbuilding and steel construction, where welders often work on enormous structures and must constantly move. The robot can be carried with one hand, positioned at a new work point, and is ready to go in seconds. This means a single person can manage multiple welding stations, a real advantage in a market that has long been plagued by a shortage of qualified welders. The 3 kg payload is sufficient to simultaneously handle the torch and the seam tracking sensor, while the repeatability of ±0.02 mm ensures the precision required for certain processes. After each move, the robot automatically detects its installation angle and, using a laser scanner or tactile sensor, locates the seam and plans its path autonomously. An optional magnetic base can be added to attach the robot directly to steel structures quickly and stably, eliminating much of the complexity of traditional robotic installations. The CRX-3iA is part of the CRX series, a range of FANUC cobots that can handle payloads of up to 30 kg and reach up to 1,756 mm, and integrates seamlessly with existing FANUC control systems and software. It also inherits wrist button technology: the operator can guide the arm and teach positions directly to the robot, without having to resort to a Teach Pendant, making programming faster and production changeovers less costly. Its application possibilities extend beyond welding. Its compact size and light weight make it suitable for AGV mounting for picking, line replenishment, and internal handling. It's also an attractive solution for training environments, where there's often no space for a traditional industrial robot. “Companies need automation that adapts to them, not the other way around,” says Vera Mariani, Business Development and Communications and Sales Coordinator Manager at FANUC Italia . “With the new CRX-3iA, we focused on ease of use, quick commissioning, and precision. Customers can bring automation where it's needed, without having to rethink the entire installation.” The new CRX-3iA cobot will be one of the protagonists of the Technovation Forum , the FANUC event open to all and dedicated to new technologies and automation which will be held on 18 November at the Lainate (MI) headquarters.

Still: update of the exv 14-20 and exp 14-20 forklifts and the exh 14 and exh-s 20-25 pallet trucks

STILL, a leading supplier of intralogistics systems and equipment, continues to expand its portfolio to maximize customer benefits by updating four models, in line with its commitment to developing perfectly adapted and highly efficient warehouse equipment for every application. Optimized functions, technologies, and safety features, combined with the latest innovations, further improve the trucks' suitability, safety, and efficiency. This allows warehouses to be organized even more efficiently in terms of space, time, and costs, helping companies meet the demanding and dynamic requirements of intelligent warehouse organization. With the upgrade of the EXV 14-20 and EXP 14-20 stackers and the EXH 14 and EXH-S 20-25 pallet trucks , STILL continues to optimize and expand its portfolio of warehouse technology. The newly launched trucks will make it even easier for companies to find the most suitable, efficient, sustainable and cost-effective solution for each application. “The sector is characterized by great dynamism. Requirements and applications often change rapidly and radically, requiring a high degree of flexibility and adaptability from companies,” explains Marco Fornara, Head of Sales & Marketing Support at STILL Italia. “For us, as a manufacturer, this means continuously developing and optimizing our solutions and trucks so that we can always offer customers the best and most personalized solution to their needs. In addition to hardware adaptations, rapidly evolving technologies also play a key role in this process.” Last year, STILL expanded its range of warehouse trucks by updating the EXV 10C–16C and EXD 18C–20C stackers and the EXH-L 16–20 pallet truck, laying the foundation for its customer-oriented portfolio dedicated to intelligent warehouse organisation.

Full control over the reconditioning process, thanks to the new digital portal

With a new update, Sandvik Coromant now offers an end-to-end experience for tool reconditioning Metal cutting specialist and leading manufacturing solutions provider Sandvik Coromant has updated its solid carbide reconditioning service. To give manufacturers full visibility into the reconditioning process, this update, which replaces the previous multi-step, manual workflow, offers an integrated online experience that dramatically reduces quote and lead times. Historically, customers requiring tool reconditioning had to rely on communication between sales teams, distribution centers, and designated hubs. Receiving a quote could take several days before the actual reconditioning could begin. Recognizing the need for a faster and more transparent process, Sandvik Coromant decided to simplify the customer journey by removing unnecessary steps from the service. A new online portal transforms the process: now, customers simply register, enter the tool code and quantity of tools to be reconditioned, and receive an instant quote. This allows them to make immediate decisions and have a complete overview of the entire process. Furthermore, for most markets, Sandvik Coromant covers all shipping costs, taxes, and customs duties associated with the service, ensuring a simple and seamless end-to-end experience. On the platform, users can select their preferred packaging (either supplied by Sandvik Coromant or their own), add any notes to the order, and submit the request. Once an order is placed, it can of course be tracked. The portal shows which of Sandvik Coromant's global remanufacturing hubs the tools will be sent to and provides direct contact information for the responsible team. Completed orders and remanufacturing history data are automatically stored, providing complete transparency to support ongoing production planning. Customers can also easily track the number of tool remanufacturing operations, allowing for better inventory planning. "The goal is to achieve a consistent and reliable lead time of 21 days from order receipt," says Matthew Johnson, Product Manager – Reconditioning at Sandvik Coromant. "Customers will enjoy all the benefits of full process visibility, faster lead times, and complete confidence in the value of reconditioning. Our goal is to give them back control, while striving to meet the highest reconditioning standards." Customers can choose to recondition their tools as often as they wish, as long as their quality meets their needs. "While we guarantee that the tools can be reconditioned up to three times and maintain 100% of their original performance, we know they can be reconditioned many more times and still deliver exceptional performance," Johnson continues. Typically, reconditioning a tool at least three times saves 50% compared to purchasing new tools. This service is combined with Sandvik Coromant's tool recycling program, which is dedicated to tools that have reached the end of their useful life. This combination of an intuitive and transparent reconditioning service and a proven buyback program allows manufacturers to maximize the value of their equipment and move closer to achieving their sustainability goals.
