It was a beautiful spring day and everyone came out to see what was new in the world of automation and controls. The regional sales managers from Omron, Dorner, and IAI were in attendance along with our own Steve Harrold. Knotts Company product specialists Mark Howe and Mark Guida demonstrated the new product demos on hand.

In today's high-paced, tight-fisted economy, cost savings and efficiency are keys to a company's success. This is particularly true in manufacturing. For many years pneumatic cylinders have been the staple of motion axes in machines; they are cheap, quick, and are capable of high force outputs.

With the technology today in motion control and machine automation, there can be a large number of terms used that are unfamiliar. This can lead to miscommunication or in the worst case, a machine that does not work. Here's a short list of common components and terms that are commonly used with respect to machine automation that will hopefully help to reduce some confusion.

“The hand is quicker than the eye” is an old adage from magicians and illusionists. Indeed, the human eye can be fooled from time to time. And when it comes to food processing and packaging it is important that our eyes are not fooled. With advances in vision inspection equipment, machines can help with visual inspections. This automation can greatly improve quality, safety and efficiency in a food packaging operation.

EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology)
Open Ethernet-based fieldbus standard utilizing IEEE 802.3 Ethernet components
Utilizes off-the-shelf wiring: RJ45 connectors, CAT5 cables
Real-time optimum Industrial Ethernet Protocol for controlling Servo, AC Drives and I/O.
More information at www.ethercat.org
EtherCAT is the fastest fieldbus network on the market that enables high performance architecture solutions. Its use of open standards and freedom of topology make it easy to implement, easy to use, and easy to maintain. Control systems designed now can support future architecture advances because it eliminates limitations found in alternative network technologies. EtherCAT is Omron Industrial Automations standard for fieldbus networks, and its standard for high performance motion control.
In a highly competitive and global market, OEM's constantly strive to achieve more for less when it comes to machine automation. This intensifies as users of automated equipment in the America's drive for specific needs such as - smaller production quantities, wider ranges of sizes, higher throughput, and more uptime. EtherCAT as a fieldbus technology that enables the convergence of Sequence, Motion, I/O, Vision, and Safety. Omron's implementation of EtherCAT suite of products enables automation platforms to increase overall efficiencies for machine builders and achieve higher performance.
Omron is sponsoring a full-day seminar in Boston on October 11th, 2011. This is a great opportunity to learn more about how EtherCAT technologies can help you.
