The new family of safety sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs includes four cylindrical and rectangular series with cable and plug connection.

Eighteen competitors took part from universities across Europe including Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands. The UK was represented by Harper Adams University who competed for the second time in this event, this year with their new robot, 'Florence'.

The new ENI11HD heavy-duty incremental rotary encoder from Pepperl+Fuchs provides reliable speed feedback for large induction motors and is unaffected by the damaging bearing currents caused by induced voltages on the motor shaft.

Pepperl+Fuchs has introduced a line of fully-featured AS-Interface (AS-i) modules in what it believes is the smallest housing available. The G10 is small enough to be dropped in cable trays, and light enough to be supported by the cables they are connected to, without having to bolt them down – though this can be done if desired. The modules are IP68/69K rated so can be subjected to frequent wash-downs and cleaning with harsh chemicals.
