Turck has unveiled free software for its recently introduced BL ident RFID system. The software aids in RFID equipment selection by simulating an application’s parameters and values. Implementing RFID requires knowing the speed and proximity required in order for products to successfully pass the read/write heads, and variables like data quantity, speed, and distance impact the equipment selection based on specific applications. General information, such as recommended read/write intervals or transfer rate, may be insufficient when identifying materials for a system. The configuration software helps define that information and easily simulates an entire application’s RFID requirements. The software uses the company’s product database for up-to-date data, while generating corresponding product data sheets and documentation. Standard function blocks are available for system integration into various bus and control environments, such as PROFIBUS-DP, Ethernet and DeviceNet. 
FKI Logistex has launched a high-speed robotic palletizing solution, which uses multiple robotic arms to achieve palletizing rates higher than those reached by typical robotic palletizers. Increased throughput and saving floor space are among benefits to users. Use of robots to achieve high palletizing rates offers advantages over conventional palletizers. Robots use servo wrists to rotate packages, instead of conventional case turning and row pushing, for faster, gentler product handling. A multiple-robot palletizing cell may be an alternative to traditional palletizing in facilities where space is limited. The robotic palletizing cell enables four-way orientation of cases and full control of package label positioning. Customers can showcase the same graphics on four sides of the pallet, or orient barcodes to streamline scanning. 
Bishop-Wisecarver Corporation has announced a new line of motor mounts to complement its range of linear actuators. Each motor mount is supplied as a kit with shaft coupling and mounting hardware, available to fit any manufacturer’s motor or gearbox. Bishop-Wisecarver provides engineering and design services, including CAD drawings, for each motor mount. ”With a full line of motor mounts, purchasing a linear actuator from Bishop-Wisecarver is hassle-free,” said Pamela Kan, president of Bishop-Wisecarver. “In addition, standard or custom mounting solutions can be provided within five days, so system lead time is not increased.” 
ADlink Technology Inc. announces the release of its GEME-42000, a low-cost compact PC-based controller for low-power, embedded applications. Equipped with an Intel Ultra Low Voltage Celeron M processor (1.0 GHz) and up to 1 GB DDR333 RAM, it can be controlled from remote locations and run continuously in critical applications including machine tools and digital video capture. According to the company, the GEME-42000 meets the needs of embedded controllers: it is compact, has front side access, is highly-reliable, and offers an expandable architecture with optional motion, I/O, and communication modules in PMC or PC/104 form factors. Power supply options include standard AC power for stationary applications and DC power for mobile applications such as in vehicles. Supported operating systems include Windows XP Embedded, WinCE.Net, and Linux. The GEME-42000 is currently available and is competitively priced at $925 with discounts in volume. 
The 3085C high temperature differential accelerometer from Dytran can operate at temperatures up to +600 °F. It is suitable for turbine engine vibration measurements, as well as other high temperature applications. The 10pC/g charge mode accelerometer features a favorable 3-bolt pattern mounting flange and a 2-pin electrical connector. Features include a hermetic seal and a housing made of Inconel 600. The 3085C is priced at $710. 
Emerson Process Management has introduced the Rosemount Analytical PERpH-X 3500 high-performance pH and ORP sensor, the first general-purpose pH sensor that includes advanced technologies for longer life in difficult processing applications. Model 3500 combines the high performance of the complete PERpH-X pH sensor line with plastic-threaded connections for a range of mounting options. The sensor incorporates design innovations, including improved pH glass electrode durability, increased reference electrode stability, and overall mechanical design reliability
