This Redundant Safety Exhaust Valve is a control reliable double valve with integrated adjustable soft start for Category 4 (Cat. 4) Performance Level e (PLe) Applications in accordance with the European Machine Directive ISO 3849-1. The E28 can be used stand-alone or modularly mounted with the 18 / 28 Wilkerson FRL.
With proven control reliability and integrated soft start, these valves reduce and then gradually increase the downstream pressure that is supplied to actuators from a safe low initial value, to the higher values that the machines demand; thereby protecting personnel and equipment from the sudden shock loads that can damage components or injure people.
Soft start application of air to the system when energized; can be adjusted for slower or faster buildup of system pressure. Rapid exhaust of downstream air when de-energized to remove stored energy and allow safe access.

Piab introduces the next generation of piGRIP? bag lips, known as "BGI". These lips include an internal retainer piece as well as three additional diameter sizes. The bag lips are ideal for handling different types of bag materials, especially hard-to-handle thin bag material, such as plastic film. The six diameter sizes now at 25, 34, 41, 48, 63 & 80 mm provides a larger range of sizes for choosing the exact cup for the handling application.
Beside regular plastic bags for dry food (e.g. chips), the new piGRIP? bag lips were designed to have an excellent grip on stand-up-pouches filled with liquid or dry/wet food/substances. The range of diameter sizes now allows for very small and/or oblong narrow flexible packages (fast-food ketchup packs) to be handled by the smallest 25 mm size. The largest size, 80 mm, addresses the need for handling heavy bags or sacks such as animal feed sacks.
Thanks to new technologies from SICK, TranspaTect MultiTask photoelectric sensors are now able to detect transparent and semitransparent trays and bottles without the need for reflectors, a frequent source of errors.

Even high-gloss, reflective, or uneven surfaces can be detected reliably. Combined with AutoAdapt, SICK's function for continuous threshold adaptation, TranspaTect sensors provide a cost-effective and reliable detection solution in packaging processes in the food and beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.

Balluff's smart light can function in any of three modes, can be configured on the fly, and is controlled using simple bitmaps for the outputs.
Kollmorgen introduces their new line of robust stainless steel AKMH? Motors based on the acclaimed AKM? series. Designed specifically to address the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), these IP69K rated synchronous servomotors feature a hygienic housing design to meet EHEDG, NSF, BISSC and 3A guidelines. The AKMH Servomotor is constructed with materials to provide long-life and trouble-free operation, even with daily exposure to chemicals and high pressure washdowns. AKMH's single-cable solution reduces the number of potential failure modes and minimizes installation time. The smooth surface design, and use of highly corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel, decreases the risk of product recalls by reducing the possibility of bacteria growth.
The AKM requires no additional protection and can be sanitized without covering it or removing it from the machine. s a result, food, beverage, packaging, medical, pharmaceutical and converting OEMs can design and build more reliable and productive machines that are easier and faster to clean, thus minimizing unscheduled downtime for end users.
