In a move to increase speed and flexibility of end-of-arm tooling creation, PCC has invested in SOLIDWORKS design software and 3D printing hardware from Markforged. PCC selected GSC as their reseller/training partner for both tools not only for GSC’s high level of technical and training resources, but proximity played a role as GSC is just two blocks from PCC’s Germantown WI headquarters. Vice President Business Development Dan Carney, who is heading up the robotics solutions team at PCC, said “GSC was an easy choice given their reputation in the SOLIDWORKS community and their location was just a nice bonus”.

This gripper was created on PCC’s new Markforged Onyx One printer. PCC has the ability to design and print a wide variety of mechanical items to customize end-of-arm work holding as well as custom brackets for after-market door control. Contact us to learn more.
The hallmark of Yaskawa’s machine controller MPiec series, the MP3200 offers support for a variety of applications with capabilities ranging from 1 – 62 axes. With a clock speed of 1GHz and extended network capabilities compatible with OPC, Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP, etc. the controller can handle the most demanding plant applications with reliability, efficiency and safety.
Laser scanners serve as a safeguarding mechanism in places where normal devices such as emergency plungers and pushbuttons aren’t viable. The technology used within laser scanners is called “time-of-flight”, which involves the scanner calculating the position of the object based on the time taken by the laser to travel back.
R-rated fuses act as back-up devices for protection against short circuits, which otherwise may damage voltage starter and motors. The guidelines for applying these fuses are fundamentally different from low voltage protection devices.

IIoT is no longer a concept limited to research papers, conferences and keynote speeches; it is here. The deployment of the Internet of Things within manufacturing and other sectors has been building over the years and has now adopted an exponential pattern. Big Data Paradigm, M2M communication, and advanced sensory technologies are just some of the hotspots of Industrial IoT. The benefits are visible and include operational efficiency, greater on-site safety, and higher productivity.
Carlo Gavazzi is excited to announce the launch of our new IBS, ICS and ICB Series Inductive Proximity Sensors with integrated IO-Link communications.
The IBS 04 & ICS 05 and 08 Series represent the ideal solution for industrial automation applications where space is limited, but long switching distance is needed. They are available in robust Ø4mm, M5 or M8 stainless steel housings, with an M8 plug or two meter PVC cable.
The new generation of the ICB 12, 18 and 30 Series are a comprehensive family of high performance inductive proximity sensors for contactless and wear-free detection of metallic objects. They are available in durable nickel-plated brass housings, offered in three diameters: M12, M18 and M30, with an extended sensing distance range between 4 and 22 mm. They are also available with an M12 plug or two meter PVC cable.
Once connected to an IO-Link master, these sensors can be easily and completely configured; enabling additional advanced functionalities such as the detection counter (RPM) and the speed controller. Each sensor then becomes fully programmable and provides the means for hundreds of configurations in one single device.

Cord grips are used to pass a cord or cable into an enclosure, through a bulkhead or into a control device like a switch. They seal an electrical connection from dirt, oil, moisture, dust and other contaminants—and can be used in dry or wet applications. Cord grips are used in industrial and commercial settings to control arc of bend or prevent cables from being pulled out of a system.
