Model TR1 Tru-Trac

PACK EXPO Coverage Sponsor

The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.

OnLogic Helix 401 Fanless Hybrid-Core Computer

PACK EXPO Booth N-5260

OnLogic's Helix 401 Compact Fanless Computer offers scalable, high-performance processing and can simultaneously drive multiple 4K displays, making it the ideal computing platform for many automation and IIoT applications. The Helix 401 has the horsepower to drive mission-critical applications while requiring less than 28W of power, and is small enough to fit in space-constrained locations or enclosures.

Dorner Previewing its new C³ Belted Curve Conveyor for Sanitary Applications in booth N-5623 at PACK EXPO 2024

PACK EXPO Booth N-5623

PACK EXPO 2024 takes on added excitement this year with the sneak preview of Dorner’s newest conveyor, the C³ Belted Curve Conveyor. The C³ utilizes FDA approved fabric belting to facilitate both a 90-degree and 180-degree curve. The C³ is a key breakthrough for companies across a multitude of industries that need to maximize footprint while improving overall throughput in the facility. Because of the FDA approved belting and stainless bed plate this product complies with BISSC standards making it perfect for any bakery or confectionary production setting.

 PACK EXPO attendees will see several other conveyor solutions in action, including the AquaGard GT, a meticulously designed infeed and outfeed conveyor ideal for accumulation-type applications to prevent bottlenecks in industries such as packaging, bottling, dry food processing and part handling. All components (except motors) are either stainless steel or FDA-approved plastics, which are ideal for operating in environments that require wipe-down or occasional washdown cleanings of the conveyor.

The maxon IDX Compact Drive with Integrated Positioning Controller

The compact brushless EC-i motor combined with an EPOS4 positioning controller delivers a highly dynamic, powerful drive package with field-oriented control (FOC), high efficiency, and maintenance-free components in a high-quality industrial housing. The maxon IDX drives are suitable for use across the entire speed range (from standstill to maximum speed) and have an extremely high overload capability. Together with a positioning controller, the integrated sensor (single turn) enables absolute positioning.
