Roller Cart
Creform Corporation, Greer, SC, has designed a unique cart titled, ACROS®, designed to be used on challenging terrains such as snow, soil, sand, mud, grass, rough concrete, and even steps. Key to its performance is that it uses a roller track system instead of casters. It comes in two sizes, one is a small hand-pushed cart, and the other is for a heavier load.

Automated Testing System
Instron, Norwood, MA, has released the new AT3 Floor Model testing system, for automated metals testing. It delivers up to 300 kN of force within a compact footprint for a broad range of applications. Occupying 5 by 7 feet of floor space, it is designed to easily handle the testing of metals and high-strength composites, which commonly require forces of 100 kN or higher.

Linear Actuator
Motorized high-resolution actuators from PI Americas, Auburn, MA, combine precision and force in a compact form factor, with travel ranges from 10 mm to 77 mm and feed forces up to 125 N. Their low backlash and non-rotating, linearly guided tips minimize tilt and eccentricity-caused errors. Available with closed-loop DC servo and stepper motors, they reach speeds up to 30 mm/sec and achieve minimum incremental motion down to 0.05 μm.

Condition Monitoring
BizLink, Hanover, Germany, announces the launch of careDP, an AI-powered condition monitoring system designed to revolutionize maintenance in robotic production lines. It provides real-time monitoring of robotic dresspacks, detecting broken corrugated tubes, robot program changes, and other anomalies before they cause unplanned downtime or quality issues. Without requiring integration into internal production networks, the system transmits data securely via LTE to an Azure-based cloud platform.

Integrated Thin Film Hybrid Coupler
KYOCERA AVX, Fountain Inn, SC, has released a new line of integrated thin film (ITF) hybrid couplers designed to facilitate the continued evolution of high-frequency wireless systems in industrial, automotive, telecommunications, and telemetry applications. Hybrid couplers are special four-port directional couplers that split input signals into two equal-amplitude 3 dB outputs whose phases are shifted by 90°. Many also support performance monitoring and inject signals without interrupting the original signal.

48V ESD Automotive Protection Diodes
Nexperia, Nijmegen, Netherlands, has introduced ESD diodes designed to protect 48V automotive data communications networks against the destructive effects of electrostatic discharge (ESD) events. This new portfolio of six robust AEC-Q101 qualified devices covers the required higher reverse working maximum voltage (VRWM) for increasingly common 48V board nets. This ultimately saves PCB space and system cost while maintaining signal integrity even at high data rates.
