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.
Among the products being introduced was Dorner's newest and tiniest family member, the 1100 Series. With a mere 0.75" tall profile, this conveyor can squeeze into the tightest spaces you can throw at it. Also, the new Dorner 3200 Precision Move conveyor was turning heads with its 0.01" positioning accuracy.
Omron was showing off some new industrial control items like the E5xC family of temperature controllers and the all new S8VK low cost power supply family! Omron's Sysmac NJ was in attendance as well sporting 64 axes of motion control and vision integration.
IAI displayed its popular IK RoboCylinder Cartesian Robot system along with numerous different sized and power Robocylinders. Bart Cerasuolo, IAI's regional sales manager, discussed numerous applications with those in attendance, raising the knowledge and comfort level for all.
The event truely was a success and all who came enjoyed the new product demos, free lunch, and prize drawings...they even enjoyed being mugged! If you were unable to attend or are in a different geographical area, dont' worry. KnottsTech Automation and Controls Expo will be coming to North and Central Jersey very soon!
